To prevent the formation of an ignitable
gas-air mixture in the event of a leak in the
refrigeration circuit, the installation space
must have a minimum size of 1 m³ per 8 g
of refrigerant in compliance with the 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.
The following minimum distances must be
maintained:
– from electrical hobs
10cm
– from oil and coal burning stoves
30cm
– from other cooling appliances
10cm
– from washing machines/dishwashers 10cm
If you would like to reduce these distances,
you can fit an insulation plate between the
appliances.
If underfloor heating is installed at the set-up
location, place the appliance on an insulation
plate made from solid material.
Setting up and aligning the
appliance
1. Place the appliance on as flat and as firm
a base as possible.
2. To ensure adequate air circulation,
– keep an area of at least 30cm above the
appliance free.
– maintain a distance of at least 10cm be-
tween the appliance’s rear side and the
wall.
– maintain a minimum spacing of 7.5cm
on the sides.
3. Check the position with a spirit level.
(15)
4. Level out any unevenness on the ground
using the two front screw feet (15).
– Close the door.
– Tilt the appliance backwards slightly and
screw/unscrew the screw feet.
– Stand the appliance back up again and
check the alignment with a spirit level.
– Repeat the process until the appliance
is standing up vertically. The appliance
should not move when opening the door.
Cleaning before use
To remove the odour that comes with all new
appliances, clean the appliance before using
it (see „Cleaning“ on page EN-17).
