Ventilation
The ventilation gaps given must be
adhered to, otherwise the
compressor will be activated more
frequently and for longer periods.
This will result in increased energy
consumption and a higher operating
temperature for the compressor. This
may, in turn, cause the compressor
to be damaged.
Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm. The appliance housing unit must
therefore be constructed to allow
sufficient space for ventilation (see
"Building-in dimensions").
– Air intake

occurs via the plinth at
the bottom of the appliance and the
air escapes at the top  at the rear
of the housing unit.
– A ventilation gap of at least 40 mm
depth must be allowed for behind the
appliance for air to circulate.
– The ventilation cross-sections in the
plinth, housing unit and above the
appliance must amount to a free
airflow of at least 200 cm² to ensure
that air can circulate without
hindrance.
If ventilation grilles are to be inserted
into the ventilation gaps, the
ventilation gaps must be larger than
200 cm². The free airflow of 200 cm²
results from the total of the
ventilation cross-sections in the
grille.
– Important! The appliance uses less
energy, the larger the ventilation
gaps.
The air inlet and outlet must not be
covered or blocked in any way. They
should be dusted on a regular basis.
