CAUTION
Dangers from the refrigerant!
■
Do not damage the refrigeration cir-
cuit, for example by piercing the re-
frigerant channels of the condensate
vaporiser with sharp objects, cutting
off the tubing, etc.
■
Refrigerant is fl ammable when spurt-
ing out and can damage the eyes. If
this happens, rinse eyes with clean
water and seek medical assistance
immediately.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in damage.
■
If possible, do not tilt the refrigerat-
ing appliance horizontally.
■
After transporting the refrigerating
appliance, leave it in its normal posi-
tion for approx. 2 hours before con-
necting it.
■
Do not use sharp or pointed objects
to unpack it.
• Move the appliance using a dolly or with
the help of a second person.
• Unpack the appliance and carefully re-
move all packaging, plastic moulding,
adhesive strips, protective film and foam
padding from the inside, outside and back
of the appliance.
Choosing a suitable location
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■
Make sure that the specifi ed ambient
temperature is maintained (see “Cli-
mate class” on page EN-29).
To prevent the formation of an ignitable gas-
air mixture in the event of a leak in the re-
frigeration circuit, the installation space must
have a minimum size of 1 m³ per 8 g of re-
frigerant in compliance with standard EN 378.
That equates to a minimum space of 8 m³ for
this appliance.
Suitable locations are dry, well-ventilated ar-
eas that are cool if possible.
Unsuitable locations are ones with direct sun-
light or which are directly next to an oven, hob
or radiator.
