Observe ambient temperature
and ventilation
The atmosphere grade is written on the identification
plate. It states the room temperature within which the
appliance can be operated. The rating plate is situated
in the bottom left of the cool fresh" compartment.
Atmosphere grade permitted ambient temperature
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
+16 °C to 32 °C
N
+18 °C to 38 °C
ST
T +18 °C to 43 °C

Ventilation

The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up.
The warm air must be able to escape. Otherwise,
the refrigerator must work harder. This will increase
the power consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block ventilation openings!

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 an electric cooker.
30 cm to an oil or solid fuel cooker.

Connecting the appliance

After installing the appliance, wait at least ½ 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 ap
pliance to 220 240 V/50 Hz alternating current via a cor
rectly installed earthed socket. The socket must be fused
with a 10 A fuse or higher.
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 mains connection cable
may be replaced by an electrician 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
equipment, power supplies on ships).
