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.
.
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
The air on the rear panel of the appliance
heats up. Conduction of the heated air
must not be obstructed. Otherwise,
the refrigeration unit must work harder.
This increases power consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block the
ventilation openings!
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.
