About climate categories
• Always ensure the prescribed ambient temperature is maintained “Intended use” on
page EN-4).
Climate category means that the appliance is intended for operation at the specified ambient
temperature. If the room temperature drops significantly below this, the appliance will not
switch on as often. This indicates that an unwelcome increase in temperature may occur.

■
Do not place the appliance directly
against the wall. Adhere to minimum
distances “Choosing a suitable loca-
tion” on page EN-20).
Risk of malfunctioning!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if the ambient temperature exceeds
or falls below the specifi ed temperature
range for a prolonged period. This can
then lead to an increase in temperature
inside the appliance.
■
Always ensure that the ambient tem-
perature remains in the specifi ed
range “Intended use” on page EN-4).
– To prevent the formation of a flammable
gas-air mixture in the event of a leakage
in the refrigeration circuit, the installation
