Ambient temperature
and ventilation
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
The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up.
This area needs to be well ventilated.
Other wise, the refrigeration unit will work harder, this
increases energy consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation
openings!
We recommend a distance of 70
mm from the back
wall.
Installing the appliance
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
The
installation location should neither be exposed
to
direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g.
a
cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat
source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate
or observe the following minimum distances to a heat
source:
▯
3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
▯
30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
The floor of the installation location must not give way.
If
required, reinforce floor.
The appliance must be perpendiclar.
Distance from wall
If appliances feature a glass front, the hinge side must
be at least 55 mm from the wall to ensure that the
doors can be opened by 90°.
