Transport of the appliance
• During the transport, you have to secure
all loose parts in and on the appliance, in
order to prevent damage.
• The appliance should not be transported in
a vertical position and at the same time not
tilted over more than 30 degrees. Wait 30
minutes after the installation, before you
connect the appliance to the mains.
• If the appliance was transported with a
tilt of more than 30 degrees, wait 4 hours
before you connect the appliance to the
mains.
Before the initial operation
• Remove the protective sheets and all pack-
aging material incl. the transport securing
of the storage spaces and of the trays from
the appliance.
• Dispose the packaging professionally.
• You might notice a slight 'new smell' when
you start the appliance for the first time.
It goes away once the appliance begins to
cool.
• Clean the interior with tepid water with the
addition of washing-up liquid. Clean the
equipment separately with rinsing water,
not in the dishwasher.
• Before you fill the appliance with food,
let it work for 1 hour, so that the target
temperature can be reached. When using
the freezer compartment, you have to wait
approx. 3 hours.
Fitting the door handle
• Make sure you change the door hinge of
the appliance before attaching the door
handle.
• Close the door of the appliance.
• Loosen the screws on the non-hinged side
of the door.
• Fit the door handle into the screw holes
and secure the handle with both screws.
• Fit the hole covers into the screw holes
found on the hinge side.
• Check that the door handle is firmly in
place.
Fitting the rubber stopper
• When stuffed with large quantities of food,
the refrigerator door must be fitted with the
included rubber stopper.
• Warning! Always disconnect the mains plug
from the power outlet before performing
any work on the appliance.
• Tilt the appliance a little backwards and
secure the rubber stopper in the screw hole
on the lower base cover using the included
screw.
Installation of the appliance
• The appliance should be installed in a dry
and well-aired room.
• The appliance can be operated at a humidi-
ty of max. 70 %.
• The surrounding temperature, at which the
appliance can be operated, can be taken
from the appliance specification sheet at
the end of this manual.
• Do not install the appliance outdoors.
• Bear in mind that you can pull the power
plug anytime.
• Protect the appliance from direct insolation.
It should not be installed near heat sources
(stove, heater, etc.). If this, however,
cannot be avoided, you should put isolation
between the heat source and the appliance.
• You must not imbed the appliance in a
cabinet. The installation of the fridge
directly under a board or a cabinet is
disallowed.
• The unevenness
of the floor can be
compensated with
the two vertically
adjustable screw-in
feet in the front, so
that safe stability is
attained.
