Installation
Siting
A dry and adequately ventilated room is the
best location for installing the appliance.
Remember that the appliance should not be
exposed to direct sunlight, nor should it be
close to a direct source of heat such as a
cooker, radiator, etc. Where installation close
to a heat source is unavoidable, ensure
that a suitable insulating panel is used or
maintain the following minimum clearances
between the appliance and the heat source:
3 cm clearance (electric cookers)
30 cm clearance (oil or coal-fired stoves).
If the appliance is placed next to another
refrigerator or freezer, keep a minimum 2 cm
clearance at the side in order to prevent
condensation.
The appliance must be stable and level. To
compensate for an uneven floor, use the two
height-adjustable feet at the front of the
appliance (Fig.
G
).
Two castors at the rear of the appliance
facilitate installation into a recess.
Electrical connection
Only connect appliances to a 220–240 V/
50 Hz a.c. supply by means of a safety
socket installed in accordance with
regulations.
Make sure that the socket is protected by
a 10 amp fuse or higher.
With appliances destined for
non-European
countries
, check the rating plate to make
sure that supply voltage and type of current
indicated coincide with the values of your
power supply. The rating plate is located at
the bottom left of the refrigerator (Figure
F
).
In the event that the mains cable needs to
be replaced, this must only be carried out by
a service technician of the manufacturer.
Warning! NEVER connect the appliance to
electronic energy saver plugs (e.g. Sava
plug) or to power inverters which convert
the direct current to 230 V alternating
current (e.g. solar equipment, power
supplies on ships).
Ventilation
Figure
3
The warm air generated at the back of
the appliance must be allowed to escape
unhindered. Otherwise the refrigerating
machine will have to work harder which in
turn increases energy consumption. For this
reason, never cover up the vents and grilles.
After shipping ...
Before switching on for the first time, allow
the appliance to set vertically for
approximately 1/2 hour.
l
Do not allow children to play with this
appliance.
l
If the appliance is fitted with a lock, keep
the key in a safe place out of the reach of
children.
l
Never put ice cubes or ice lollies straight
from the freezer into your mouth. (The low
temperature may cause “freezer burns”.)
l
Never touch any frozen food if your hands
are wet, as they may stick to it.
This unit contains the coolant
isobutane (R 600a), a natural
gas which is very
environmentally friendly but
also combustible. When transporting and
installing the unit care must be taken to
ensure that none of the refrigeration
circuit components become damaged. In
the event of damage avoid naked flames
or ignition sources and ventilate the room
in which the unit is placed for a few
minutes.
Warning - Do not use mechanical devices
or other artificial means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than those
recommended dy the manufacturer.
Regulations
The appliance is suitable for refrigerating
and freezing food, and making ice cubes.
It is designed for domestic use.
If using the appliance for commercial
purposes, please observe the statutory
regulations applicable for the trade sector in
question.
The appliance adheres to current German
regulations for the prevention of accidents
caused by refrigerating equipment (VBG 20).
This product meets all the relevant safety
regulations applicable to electrical appliances.
The refrigerating circuit has been leak-tested.
Disposal and safety information
Observe ambient
temperature
Depending on the “climatic category” (see
rating plate), the appliance can be operated
at the following ambient temperatures.
(The rating plate can be found inside the
appliance at the bottom left-hand side,
Fig.
F
).
Climatic Ambient
temperature
category
from ... to
SN
+10 °C to 32 °C
N
+16 °C to 32 °C
ST
+18 °C to 38 °C
T
+18 °C to 43 °C
If the temperature drops below the ambient-
temperature range, the refrigerator compart-
ment will become too cold. If the temperature
exceeds the ambient-temperature range, the
freezer compartment will become too warm.
If the ambient temperature drops below the
set temperature in the refrigerator, the latter
will drop to the ambient temperature.
At ambient temperatures below +10 °C,
functional irregularities may occur during
automatic defrosting of the refrigerator
interior.
