Installing the appliance
Have a technician install and connect the appliance
according to the enclosed installation instructions.
Transporting
The appliance is heavy. Secure in position during
transportation and installation.
Due to the weight/dimensions of the appliance and to
minimise the risk of injury and damage to the
appliance at least two persons are necessary to set-up
the appliance safely.
Installation location
A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an
installation location. The installation location should
not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed 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 from the 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.
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
Have a technician install and connect the appliance
according to the enclosed installation instructions.
Do not remove the transportation protection devices
from the shelves and storage compartments until
the appliance has been installed.
In addition to the statutory national regulations,
observe the connection conditions of the local power
supply companies.
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until
the appliance starts up. 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,
check whether the stated voltage and current type on
the rating plate match the values of your mains supply.
These specifications can be found on the rating plate
(see chapter “Customer service”).

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.
