Manual

This appliance complies with all

relevant legal safety requirements.

Improper use can, however, present

a risk of both personal injury and

material damage.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the appliance, please

read these instructions carefully

before installation and before using

it for the first time. They contain

important notes on the installation,

safety, operation and care of the

appliance.

Keep these instructions in a safe

place and pass them on to any

future user.

This appliance is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury, do not allow

children to play on or near it, or to

play with the controls. Supervise its

use by the elderly or infirm.

Correct use

This appliance is intended for

domestic use only for the cool

storage of foodstuffs as well as for

storing deep frozen food, freezing fresh

food and for preparing ice.

Any other usage is not supported by

the manufacturer and could be

dangerous. The manufacturer cannot

be held liable for damage caused by

incorrect or improper use of the

appliance.

Technical safety

This appliance contains the coolant

Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas

which is environmentally friendly.

Although it is flammable, it does not

damage the ozone layer and does not

increase the greenhouse effect. The

use of this environmentally friendly

coolant has, however, led to a slight

increase in the noise level of the

appliance. In addition to the noise of

the compressor, you might be able to

hear the coolant flowing around the

system. This is unavoidable, but does

not have any adverse effect on the

performance of the appliance.

Care must be taken during the

transportation and installation of the

appliance that no parts of the cooling

system are damaged. Leaking coolant

can damage the eyes.

In the event of any damage:

- avoid open fires and anything which

creates a spark,

- disconnect from the mains,

- air the room in which the appliance is

located for several minutes and

- contact the Service Department for

advice.

The more coolant there is in an

appliance, the larger the room it

should be installed in. In the event of a

leakage, if the appliance is in a small

room, there is the danger of

combustible gases building up.

For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m

room space is required. The amount of

coolant in the appliance is stated on the

data plate inside the appliance.

Is it normal that water or ice drops are forming on the back wall of my fridge-freezer? Verified

Yes, this a completely normal phenomenom. The moisture that enters the fridge-freezer with warm air or products will settle on the coldest part, being the back wall. Because the back wall can reach temperatures below freezing, the drops will freeze from time to time. When the fridge-freezer is idle the drops will thaw and flow to the drain of the fridge-freezer.

How long does it take for my refrigerator to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the refrigerator. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the refrigerator. The temperature in the refrigerator cannot be measured properly by feeling the air inside. The best way to tell if the refrigerator has reached the set temperature is to place a glass of water in the refrigerator with a thermometer in it.

There is condensation in my refrigerator, why is that? Verified

There can be several causes. The door gasket can be defective, allowing outside air into the refrigerator. It's also possible that the refrigerator is not level, preventing the door from closing correctly. Another cause is a large difference between the temperature inside the refrigerator and outside while the door is being opened frequently.
