isobutane (R 600a), a natural
gas which is very
environmentally friendly but
also combustible. When transporting and
installing the unit care must be taken to
ensure that none of the refrigeration
circuit components become damaged. In
the event of damage avoid naked flames

Disposal and safety information
Regulations
The appliance is suitable for refrigerating
and freezing food, and making ice cubes.
It is designed for domestic use.
If using the appliance for commercial
purposes, please observe the statutory
regulations applicable for the trade sector in
question.
The appliance adheres to current German
regulations for the prevention of accidents
caused by refrigerating equipment (VBG 20).
This product meets all the relevant safety
regulations applicable to electrical appliances.
The refrigerating circuit has been leak-tested.
Observe ambient
temperature
Depending on the “climatic category” (see
rating plate), the appliance can be operated
at the following ambient temperatures.
(The rating plate can be found inside the
appliance at the bottom left-hand side.
Fig.

).
Climatic Ambient temperature
category from ... to
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
N +16 °C to 32 °C
ST +18 °C to 38 °C
T +18 °C to 43 °C
If the temperature drops below the ambient-
temperature range, the refrigerator compart-
ment will become too cold. If the temperature
exceeds the ambient-temperature range, the
freezer compartment will become too warm.
If the ambient temperature drops below the
set temperature in the refrigerator, the latter
will drop to the ambient temperature.
At ambient temperatures below +10 °C,
functional irregularities may occur during
automatic defrosting of the refrigerator
interior.

Disposal and safety information
Notes on disposal
Old appliances still have some residual
value. An environment-friendly method
of disposal will ensure that valuable raw
materials can be recovered and used again.
Unplug your old appliance, cut through the
mains cable and throw away cable and plug
together.
Remove the door lock so that children at
play cannot become trapped inside and risk
suffocation.
The refrigerant used in fridge/freezers and
the gases in the insulation material require
special disposal procedures. Ensure that
none of the pipes on the back of the
appliance are damaged prior to disposal.
Your new appliance was protected by
adequate packaging while it was on its way
to you. All materials used for this purpose
are environment-friendly and suitable for
recycling. Please contribute to protecting the
environment by disposing of the packaging
appropriately.
Do not allow children to play with any
parts of the packaging. There is a risk of
suffocation by the cardboard boxes and
plastic wrapping.
Up-to-date information concerning options
for disposing of your old appliance and the
packaging from the new one can be obtained
from your retailer or local council office.
This appliance is labelled in
accordance with European Directive
2002/96/EG concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances
