Location
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding where to install your re-
frigeration appliance, please bear in
mind that it will use more energy if in-
stalled near to a heater, a cooker or
other appliance that gives off heat. Dir-
ect sunlight should also be avoided.
The higher the room temperature, the
longer the compressor runs and the
higher the energy consumption of the
refrigeration appliance is.
When installing the refrigeration appli-
ance, please note the following:
– The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be-
hind the appliance.
– The plug and power cable must not
touch the rear of the refrigeration ap-
pliance as they could be damaged by
vibrations from the appliance.
– Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind the refrigeration appliance.
If installation near a heat source is un-
avoidable, observe the following min-
imum distances between the appliance
and the heat source:
– At least 3 cm
to electric or gas stoves
– At least 30 cm
to oil or coal-based stoves
If it is not possible to observe these
minimum distances, an isolation plate
must be installed between the refrigera-
tion appliance and the heat source.
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use within
a certain climate range (ambient tem-
peratures) and should not be used out-
side this range. The climate range of the
appliance is stated on the data plate in-
side the appliance.
Climate range Ambient room
temperature
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
ST +16 to +38 °C
T +16 to +43 °C
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the compressor to switch off
for too long, causing the internal tem-
perature in the appliance to rise with the
risk of food deteriorating and going off.
