Fire risk and danger of damage!

candle on top of or beside this appli-
ance.
Side-by-side combinations
As a general rule, refrigerators and
freezers should not be installed side-
by-side with other such appliances so
as to avoid a build-up of condensation
between them and the damage this
can cause.
However your refrigeration appliance
can be installed “side-by-side” because
it is equipped with built-in heating units
in the side panels.
Please contact your dealer for specific
information about which combinations
will work with your appliance.
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 is.
When installing the appliance, please
note:
– The socket must be easily accessible
in an emergency, not concealed be-
hind the appliance.
– The plug and cable must not touch
the rear of the appliance as they
could be damaged by vibrations from
the appliance.
– Do not plug in other appliances be-
hind this appliance.
In environments with high hu-
midity
condensation can build up on
the external appliance panels.
This can lead to corrosion of the
panels.
For prevention, it is advisable to in-
stall the appliance with sufficient
ventilation in a dry and/or air condi-
tioned room.
Please ensure that the appliance
doors close properly, the ventilation
gaps are not covered over and the
appliance is installed in accordance
with these instructions.
