Ambient temperature
and ventilation
Ambient temperature
The climate class can be found on the rating plate.
The climate class indicates within which ambient
temperatures the appliance can be operated.
Note
The appliance is fully functional within the room
temperature limits of the indicated climatic class. If
an appliance of climatic class SN is operated at colder
room temperatures, the appliance will not be damaged
up to a temperature of +5 °C.
Ventilation
Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed.
Otherwise, the refrigeration unit must work harder. This
increases power consumption. Therefore: Never cover
or block the ventilation opening!
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until
the appliance is switched on. During transportation
the oil in the compressor may have flowed into
the refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time,
clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter
“Cleaning the appliance”).
Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely
accessible following installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with the protection class I.
Connect the appliance to 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating
current via a correctly installed socket with protective
conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to
16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non-European countries,
the identification plate should be checked whether
the electric supply and the current model stated match
the values of the mains supply. The rating plate is
situated in the bottom left-hand side of the appliance.

Warning
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver
plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-
controlled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters are used
for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly
to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be
used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in
mountain lodges) which are not connected directly to
the national grid.
