[. . . ] Danger of suffocation from folding cartons and plastic film! 3. Remove the lock to prevent children from locking themselves in the refrigerator and suffocating. Refrigerators contain refrigerants and the insulation contains gases. Refrigerant and gases must be disposed of properly. [. . . ] It specifies the ambient tem peratures at which the appliance may be operated. Climatic category Permitted ambient temperature +10 °C to 32 °C +16 °C to 32 °C +18 °C to 38 °C +18 °C to 43 °C Please fold out the illustrated last page. These operating instructions refer to several models. The illustrations may differ.

This warm air must be allowed to freely escape, otherwise the refrigerating machine must perform more. Hence, the air inlet and outlet apertures should never be covered or blocked off! 5 en Connecting the appliance After installing the appliance, wait at least 1/2 hour until the appliance starts up. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system. Before switching on the appliance for the first time, clean the interior (see Cleaning). Connect the appliance to 220 240 V/ 50 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed earthed socket. The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher. If the appliance is to be operated in a non European country, check on the rating plate whether the indicated voltage and current type correspond to the values of your mains supply. The rating plate is situated in the bottom left hand side of the appliance. The power cord may be replaced by an electrician only. Higher settings indicate lower temperatures in the refrigerator compartment. We recommend: S for short term storage of food: low controller setting (energy saving mode, e. g. 1 2) S for long term storage of food: medium controller setting (e. g. 4 5) only temporarily if: door opened frequently, large amounts of food placed in the refrigerator compartment. Refrigerating capacity The temperature in the refrigerator compartment may rise temporarily if large amounts of food or a lot of drinks are placed in the refrigerator compartment. Therefore the temperature controller should be rotated to a higher setting (e. g. 7 hours Operating tips The refrigerator compartment temperature rises: S if the appliance door is opened frequently, S if large quantities of food are placed in the refrigerator compartment, S if the ambient temperature is high. Condensation droplets or frost in the refrigerator compartment While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost form at the back of the refrigerator compartment. This is quite normal. Switching on the appliance Rotate temperature selector, Fig. [. . . ] Do not use abrasive or acidic cleaning agents and solvents. Regularly clean the condensation channel and drainage hole, Fig. 3, with a cotton bud or similar implement to ensure that the condensation can drain. Completely normal noises Humming noise - refrigerating unit is running. Bubbling, whirring or gurgling noises refrigerant is flowing through the refrigeration tubing. [. . . ]
