Installing The Appliance; Connecting The Appliance - Gaggenau RC 247 Gebrauchsanleitung

Installing the appliance

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. The
installation location should neither be exposed to direct
sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator,
etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable,
use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following
minimum distances to a heat source:
3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
30 cm to an oil or solid fuel cooker.

Connecting the appliance

After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until the
appliance starts up. During transportation the oil in the
compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration
system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time, clean
the interior (see Cleaning).
The socket should be freely accessible. Connect the
appliance to 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating current via
a correctly installed earthed socket. The socket must
be fused with a 10 A to 16 A fuse.
If the appliance is to be operated in a non European
country, check on the rating plate whether the indicated
voltage and current type correspond to the values of your
mains supply. The rating plate is located in the refrigerator
compartment at the bottom left hand side. The power
cord may be replaced by a technician only.
Warning!
!
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver
plugs or to power inverters which convert the direct
current to 230 V alternating current (e.g. solar equip
ment, power supplies on ships).
