To prevent a flammable gas-air mixture from
forming following a leakage in the refrigera-
tion circuit, the installation space must have
a minimum size of 1 m
3
per 8 g of refrigerant
in compliance with the EN 378 standard. The
amount of refrigerant in your appliance can
be found on the type plate.
– Suitable locations are dry, well-ventilated
areas that are cool if possible.
– Unsuitable locations are ones with direct
sunlight or which are directly next to an
oven, hob or radiator.
– If underfloor heating is installed at the set-
up location, place the cooling appliance on
an insulation plate made from solid mate-
rial.
Setting up and aligning the
appliance
1. Place the appliance on as flat and as firm
a base as possible.
2. Check the position with a spirit level.
(5)
3. Level out any unevenness on the ground
using the two front appliance feet (5).
4. Close the doors to do this.
5. Tilt the appliance slightly back and screw
in/unscrew the appliance feet.
6. 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 doors.
Cleaning before use
In order to remove the odour which is present
in all new appliances, wipe down the fridge
and freezer prior to first use with a solution
made of 100 ml vinegar and 200 ml water.
Then wipe it out with clean water and dry all
of the parts off afterwards.
Commissioning the appliance
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to fi re and damage to property.
■
Connect the appliance only to a
properly installed and earthed elec-
tric socket. Do not connect to a mul-
ti-socket extension cable or a mul-
ti-socket plug.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
If the cooling unit has been transport-
ed horizontally, lubricant from the com-
pressor may get into the cooling circuit.
■
Allow the appliance to stand upright
for approx. 2 hours after transport
and before connecting. This allows
the lubricant enough time to fl ow
back into the compressor.
