Installing the appliance
Location
The ideal installation location is a dry,
well-ventilated room. The installation
location should not be subject to direct
sunlight or near a heat source, such as a
cooker, heating element, etc. If setting up
the appliance next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable insulating
plate or observe the following minimum
distances from the heat source:
■
3 cm from an electric or gas cooker.
■
30 cm from oil or solid fuel cookers.
Appliances with fixed handles require a
distance of at least 55 mm from the wall
on the hinged side so that the door can
be opened by 90°.
Note the room temperature and
ventilation
Ambient temperature
The appliance is designed for a certain
climate class. Depending on the climate
class, the appliance can be operated at
the following ambient temperatures.
The climate class is specified on the
rating plate. Figure
*
Note
The appliance can function within the
ambient temperature limits of the
specified climate class. If an appliance in
the SN climate class is operated at lower
ambient temperatures, damage to the
appliance can be excluded up to a
temperature of +5 °C.
Ventilation
Figure
$
The air on the appliance's back panel
and side panels heats up. The heated air
must be able to escape unimpeded.
Otherwise, the refrigerating unit has to
work harder, which increases the
appliance's power consumption.
Therefore: You must never cover or
block the ventilation openings!
The minimum distance to all sides must
be at least 5 cm.
Fitting spacers
Figure
%
Use the screws to attach the spacers
provided to the relevant openings at the
rear of the appliance. This will maintain
the minimum distance from the wall, thus
providing adequate ventilation.
If the appliance is standing at an angle,
this may mean that the doors do not
close correctly.
Levelling the appliance

&
To ensure that it functions properly, the
appliance must be set level using a spirit
level.
If the appliance is standing at an angle,
this may mean that the doors do not
close correctly.
