Place the appliance far enough away from the wall so that the lid can be opened and closed unhindered. • Do not cover the gap between the lower edge of the freezer and the floor, as the refrigeration unit has to be supplied with air for cooling. • There must be a gap of at least 20 cm between the ventilation grille and the wall. This gap must be kept clear and the ventilation openings uncovered. • Do not place any objects immediately next to the outer housing of the appliance. There must be a gap of at least 20 mm all round in order to ensure adequate heat discharge. • Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install your appliance must have a volume of 1 m3 per 8 g of R 600a refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid the formation of inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance is located in the event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant used in your appliance is indicated on the type plate. • Do not connect the appliance to the supply with other equipment using an extension cable - risk of overheating. Setting the temperature Turn the temperature control T to set the desired temperature. Setting 1 = lowest cooling setting Setting 7 = highest cooling setting, cold For long-term storage of frozen food a temperature of at least -18 °C is recommended. Connecting to the mains Power supply (a.c.) and voltage at the operating point must comply with the details on the type plate, which is located at the top of the right-hand side wall of the freezer. The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher, it must be away from the rear of the appliance and must be easily accessible. Connect the appliance with a properly earthed fused plug and socket only. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: green/yellow = earth, blue = neutral, brown = live. Warning! This appliance must be earthed. Temperature display The thermometer shows the warmest frozen food temperature. It is adjusted and designed so that only temperatures below 0°C are accurately displayed. GB Storage The appliance is suitable for storing ice cream and ready-frozen foods. NB: The upper stacking limit is the top level of the basket!

The baskets at the top can be suspended in the frame of the freezer by their handles. The baskets underneath stand on the floor of the freezer or on the inward-facing handles of the very bottom basket. Press the handle downwards, lift and tilt inwards. Equipment Interior light The interior light switches on automatically when the lid is opened and switches off again when it is closed. Bulb data: 15 W (never use a bulb rated at more than 15 W). The voltage should agree with the details on the type plate. Bulb fitting: E 14. Replacing the bulb: Pull out the mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse. - Remove the cover panel in the direction of the arrow. - Change the bulb. - Replace the cover panel. Freezing chart This is located on the inside of the freezer lid. The freezing chart represents the frozen food and the time it can be safely stored in months. The individual storage times and whether or not the lower or upper value is applicable depend on the food quality, its processing prior to freezing, and the individual household's quality requirements. The lower values always apply to food with a high fat content. Lock The lock is equipped with a safety mechanism. Locking the appliance: 1 Press the button and keep it de- pressed. 2 Turn the key 90°.

of frost or ice will form on the inside walls. This increases energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly. • Switch the appliance off to defrost. Pull out the mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse. • Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool place. • Remove the plug from the drain opening. • To collect the thawed water, place a flat container below the appliance. • Leave the lid open while de- frosting. After defrosting mop up the remaining water and clean the appliance. If your appliance does not have a drain opening, wipe up the defrosted water with a sponge or a cloth. Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial aids for de- frosting other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaning Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse. Clean the inside, equipment parts and outer walls with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents. Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and damage. • Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical com- ponents or ventilation grille. • Dry all parts well with a cloth. • The ventilation grilles should be cleaned regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. Dust deposits increase energy consumption. Ensure that none of the wires or other components are dislodged, bent or damaged. Malfunctions You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself: • Appliance does not function, the control lamps are not lit: - Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket? - Is the socket fuse intact? • Loud running noise: - Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor? - Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit cannot be avoided. • The temperature is not low enough: - Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the tempera- ture")? - Have excessive amounts of fresh food been placed in the appli- ance? Observe the temperature display for a further 24 hours. - Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct read- ing? - Is the ventilation system working properly? - Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source? If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, contact the nearest cus- tomer service department stating the type of appliance ➊, service number ➋ and appliance number ➌ as indicated on the type plate. The type-plate is located on the top of the right-hand side wall of the freezer. Shutting your appliance down If your appliance is to be shut down for any length of time, switch it off and disconnect the plug or remove the fuse. Clean the appliance and leave the lid open in order to prevent unpleasant smells. The appliance complies with the relevant safety regulations and EC directives 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC.
