Installing The Appliance; Connecting The Appliance - Gaggenau BC 289 Gebrauchsanleitung

Installing the appliance

The appliance should be installed 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 solidfuel 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 of the appliance (see chapter Cleaning the
appliance").
The socket should be freely accessible. Connect the ap
pliance only to 220-240 V/50 Hz AC current via a socket
which has been properly installed. The socket must be
fused with a 10 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 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).
