Installation Location
Fresh food refrigeration
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
To obtain the best performance:
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance
should therefore
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquid in the refrigeator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, or other sources of continuous heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corre-
sponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is desi-
gned.
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer(s)
The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is
located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for
each climate classification:
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may
be placed on any shelf.

Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
D567
Important!
Reversing the door
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or col-
der before freezing food.
The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side
(factory adjustment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food seve-
ral days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to
3/4 of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best pre-
served when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as pos-
sible.
Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, the
appliance may not be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the
mains beforehand.

• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cau-
se increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
Installation
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac-
turer.
Electrical Connection
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried
out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempe-
ratures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers
with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire
extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety mea-
sures not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the
same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate
is inside, on the left.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst
when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even
explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine
etc. in the freezer.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of
having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA appro-
ved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do
not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamina-
tion of other frozen goods occurs.
Important!
Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands
could freeze to the food.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the fol-
lowing code:
