The freezer needs ventilation

Air is fed under the door through the 
vent slots in the base and is exhausted 
upwards along the back wall. To ensure 
proper air circulation never cover or 
alter the vent openings.

Important! 

 If the appliance is installed 

under, for example, a hanging cabinet, a 
clearance of at least 10 cm between the 
top of the appliance and the cabinet 
above it must be maintained.

Please check whether, after installing 
your appliance and especially after 
reversing the door, the door seal fits 
tightly. A badly fitting door seal may lead to heavy frosting and a 
higher power consumption (see also “Something not working“).

Remove the two wall spacers from 
the appliance accessories pack and, 
in accordance with the illustrations, 
insert them into the retainers located 
at the top of the rear of the appli-
ance so that the distance from the 
wall required for the necessary venti-
lation is ensured.

1.

The appliance must be level. Please compensate for unevenness in the 
floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front. 

2.

When two appliances are placed beside each other, the spacers 
enclosed in the plastic wrapping should be glued between the appli-
ances as shown in the illustration.
