Preparing the appliance

Basic cleaning

Caution!

Never use agressive or gritty cleansers or

cleansers containing soap, soda or solvents

as they might affect the surface of the appli-

ance.

• You can remove thesmell that is inherent in all

new appliances by wiping the interior compart-

ment with lukewarm water with a little vinegar

added.

The right location

Danger of fire!

Do not place any appliance that gives off

heat, such as microwave ovens, toasters

etc., on the appliance.
Do not cover or close ventilation slots.

You need a free space of 54 x 60 x 144 cm (w x d

x h) in which to install the appliance.

To achieve optimum refrigeration with the lowest

possible energy consumption, the location:

– must be a dry, properly ventilated room which is

not too warm.

– must be out of direct sunlight.

A location immediately next to an oven, heater or

radiator is not ideal. Please observe the following

minimum distances:

from electric heaters

5 cm

from radiators, oil, gas and

coal-fired heaters

50 cm

from cooling appliances

2 cm

from washing machines / dishwashers

2 cm

Risk of suffocation for children!

Keep the packaging film away from children

so that it cannot suffocate them.

Caution!

The thermal insulation in your appliance

consists of polyurethane with environmen-

tally friendly pentane insulation foam. Do not

use any electric heaters, scrapers, knives or

other instruments with open flames such as

candles to defrost the appliance. The ther-

mal insulation and interior compartments are

sensitive to heat and might melt.
Leave the appliance in a stable position for

at least

3 hours after installing it, so that the

refrigerant can settle. The compressor might

be damaged otherwise.
When you first put the appliance into use, let

it run for 24 hours without any interruption.
If you happen to switch off the appliance or

pull the mains plug from the socket during

this period, wait for at least 5 minutes be-

fore switching on the appliance again or re-

inserting the plug. The compressor might be

damaged otherwise.
Do not use any caustic or scouring deter-

gents or sponges to clean the appliance.

They might damage the surfaces.
As the interior walls are sensitive to scratch-

ing and to heat, do not use any tools such as

ice scrapers, heat radiators or similar equip-

ment to remove ice that has formed. They

might the insulation to be scratched.
Never use defrosting sprays. They can cre-

ate explosive gases. Do not use any electric

heating devices, open flames or ice scrap-

ers either. They might cause the insulation

to melt or to be scratched.
The door seal can be damaged by oil and

grease, which make the rubber porous and

brittle and cause the door seal to leak. Ac-

cordingly, only use clean water to clean the

door seal.
Detergents containing sand, soda or acid

are absolutely unsuitable. Universal cleaners

with a neutral pH value are recommended.
