Disposal
Information about the appliance packaging
Dispose of your appliance packaging properly. None of the packaging materials
used are harmful to the environment and they may be re-used.
About the materials: the plastics may also be recycled and are identified as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene e.g. in the outer casing and internal pockets.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. in padding. Essentially CFC-free.
The cardboard used is made from recycled paper and should also be put out for old
paper collection.
Disposal of old appliances
Refrigeration equipment must be properly disposed of in a way which protects the
environment. This applies to your old appliance and to your new unit once it has
reached the end of its service life.
Warning: Please ensure that old, worn appliances are rendered unusable before
disposal by removing the plug, cutting the network cable, and removing or de-
stroying any snap fastenings or bolts. You will thus prevent children from locking
themselves in the appliance during play (risk of suffocation) or endangering their lives
in any other way.
Disposal instructions:
. The appliance must not be disposed of in the dustbin or with normal household
rubbish.
. The coolant circuit, particularly the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance,
must not be damaged.
. The symbol on the product or its packaging indicates that this product is not
to be handled as normal household waste but is to be taken to a recycling collec-
tion point for electrical and electronic goods. By correctly disposing of this pro-
duct you are contributing to the protection of the environment and to the health of
your fellow human beings. Improper disposal endangers health and the environ-
ment. Further information about the recycling of this product may be obtained
from your town hall, refuse collection department or the store where you purcha-
sed the product.
48
Installation
Installation site
The appliance should be positioned in a well-ventilated, dry room. The ambient tem-
perature will influence energy consumption and the proper functioning of the unit.
For this reason, the appliance
. Should not stand in direct sunlight;
. Should not stand near a radiator, a stove or any other heat source;
. Should be located only where the ambient temperature is compatible
with the climatic classification of the appliance.
You will find the climatic classification on the nameplate inside the appliance on the
top right-hand side.
The following table specifies the ambient temperature range for each climatic clas-
sification:
Climatic classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 to +32°C
N+16 to + 32°C
ST +18 to +38°C
T+18 to + 43°C
To prevent the appliance from heating up, ensure that an adequate ventilation gap
is retained and install a suitable thermal insulation panel. An adequate flow of air to
and from the cooling system must be ensured.
49
The cooler needs air
The cooler door seals the installed unit almost completely, so an air vent must be pro-
vided in the base of the housing. Warmed air must be conducted via the ventilation
shaft to the rear wall of the housing and then expelled upwards. The ventilation
channels should measure at least 200 cm
2
in cross-section.
Warning! To ensure the proper functioning of the appliance, air vents should never
be blocked or covered.

After installing the unit, and particularly if the door hinge is reversed, please ensure
that the door seal is tight all round. An imperfect door seal can lead to increased
condensation and thus to higher energy consumption (see the section headed
“Troubleshooting”).
Electrical connection
A properly installed socket outlet with earthing contact is required for electrical con-
nection, positioned so that it is possible to pull out the mains plug.
The socket outlet with earthing contact used to connect the appliance should be
positioned on the left or right-hand side adjacent to the housing.
Electrical fuse protection of at least 10/16 amperes must be provided. If the socket
is no longer accessible once the appliance has been built-in, suitable measures
must be taken during electrical installation to ensure that the appliance can be dis-
connected from the mains (fuse, LP [line protection] contact opening width of at
least 3 mm).
Before operating the appliance, check the data plate to ensure compliance of the
connection voltage and type of frequency with the mains network values at the
installation site.
e.g. AC 220 240 V 50 Hz or
220 240V~ 50 Hz
(i.e. 220 to 240 volt alternating current, 50 Hertz)
The dataplate is located inside the appliance on the top right-hand side.

Defrosting
The cooler defrosts automatically.
The evaporator behind the rear wall of the cooler defrosts automatically. The con-
densate collects in the drainage channel behind the rear wall of the cooler, and flows
through the drainage hole into the drip tray by the compressor where it evaporates.
Cleaning and maintenance
For reasons of hygiene, the interior of the appliance, including all internal fitments,
should be cleaned regularly.
Warning! Because of the risk of electric shock, the appliance should not be con-
nected to the mains during cleaning. Before cleaning, switch off the appliance, pull
out the mains plug or deactivate and/or remove the fuse.
55
Never steam-clean the appliance. Dampness may penetrate the electrical compo-
nents, creating the risk of an electric shock. Hot steam may damage the plastic
components. The appliance must be dry before it is used again.
Caution! Plastic components may be attacked by essential oils and organic sol-
vents such as fruit juices and the acids in butter, as well as by detergents containing
vinegar. Such substances should not come into contact with appliance compo-
nents. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Energy-saving tips
. Ensure that the appliance is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
. Do not install the unit near radiators, radiator pipes or smoke extractors and pro-
tect it as far as possible from direct sunlight
. Make sure the unit doors are kept open for as short a time as possible. The quik-
ker the doors are closed again, the less cold is lost.
. Make sure that the doors are closed fully and correctly. The door seal must be
flush against the frame of the fridge.

Operating Noises
Noises which are entirely normal
The chill cabinet is cooled by a compressor (refrigeration aggregate). The compressor
pumps coolant through the cooling system, producing operating noises. Even when
the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure
are unavoidable.
This cooler is fitted with a quiet compressor and a low-noise cooling circuit
designed in line with the latest technical developments. However, a certain
level of noise, dependent on the size of the cooler, is inevitable. Operating noise will
be most audible immediately after the compressor cuts in. It becomes quieter as the
operating period continues.
Noises which are not normal
Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation. The cooler must be
installed or built-in so that it is level and stable. Under no circumstances must tubing
come into contact with a wall, other furniture or with another tubing.
Where coolers are installed in open-plan kitchens or in partition walls, the
level of operating noise will be heard more acutely. However, this is due to
the surrounding architecture and not to a fault with the cooler.
60
Description Cause Comment
Droning Cooling system Normal operating noise of the cooling
system. The level is dependent on
the size of cooler.
Humming Fan Normal operating noise of the fan.
Gurgling Cooling circuit Normal operating noise as coolant
Babbling flows through the circuit.
Murmuring
Hissing Cooling circuit Normal operating noise as coolant is
injected into the condenser.
Cracking Cooler housing Normal as materials expand and
contract due to temperature variations
(e.g. plastics, insulation).
