Ambient Temperature And Ventilation; Installation Location - Siemens KU..L Serie Gebrauchsanleitung

Ambient temperature
and ventilation
Ambient temperature
The appliance is designed for a specific
climate class. Depending on the climate
class, the appliance can be operated at
the following temperatures.
The climate class can be found on
the rating plate. Fig. .
Climate class
SN

ST
T
Note
The appliance is fully functional within
the room temperature limits of the
indicated climatic class. If an appliance
of climatic class SN is operated at colder
room temperatures, the appliance
will not be damaged up to a temperature
of +5 °C.
Room temperature switch
If the room temperature drops
below +16 °C, the freezer compartment
of appliances belonging to climate
class SN may become too warm. In
an extreme case the frozen food may
thaw. To prevent this from happening,
switch on the room temperature switch.
As a result, the refrigeration unit
operates more frequently. The appliance
can now be operated at a room
temperature of +10 °C to +16 °C.
To switch on, press the room
temperature switch, Fig. "/B.
Permitted ambient
temperature
+10 °C to 32 °C
+16 °C to 32 °C
+16 °C to 38 °C
+16 °C to 43 °C
To save energy, switch off the room
temperature switch as soon as the room
temperature exceeds +16 °C.
Ventilation
Fig. !/6
The refrigeration unit is ventilated only via
the ventilation grille in the base. Never
cover the ventilation grille or place
anything in front of it. Otherwise
the refrigeration unit must work harder,
increasing the power consumption.

Installation location

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 coal-fired cooker.
■
Undercounter
An attachment under certain worktops,
e.g. stone, glass or stainless steel, is
frequently not possible. You can order
accessories from customer service for
installation on the side walls.
