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.
Ventilation
Fig. 3
The air on the rear panel of the
appliance heats up. Conduction of the
heated air must not be obstructed.
Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must
work harder. This increases power
consumption. Therefore: Never cover or
block the ventilation openings!
Connecting the
appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least
1 hour until the appliance is switched on.
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”).
Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance
and also freely accessible following
installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with the
protection class I. Connect the appliance
to 220–240 V/50 Hz alternating current
via a correctly installed socket with
protective conductor. The socket must
be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non-
European countries, check whether the
stated voltage and current type match
the values of your mains supply match
the values of the mains supply. This
information can be found on the rating
plate. Fig. -

Warning
Never connect the appliance to
electronic energy saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains
and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-
controlled inverters are used for
photovoltaic systems which are
connected directly to the national grid.
Sine-controlled inverters must be used
for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or
in mountain lodges) which are not
connected directly to the national grid.
