WARNING
Risk of injury!
■
The appliance is heavy and bulky. Seek
the help of another person during trans-
port, setting up, positioning or while
mounting or dismantling the doors.
■
Shelves, drawers, doors, etc. must not be
used as steps or for support purposes.
Health hazard caused by refrigerant!
■
Do not damage the refrigeration circuit,
for example by piercing the refrigerant
channels of the condensate vaporiser
with sharp objects, cutting off the tub-
ing, etc.
■
Refrigerant is fl ammable when spurting
out and can damage the eyes. If this
happens, rinse your eyes with clean wa-
ter and seek medical attention immedi-
ately.
■
To prevent the formation of a fl ammable
gas-air mixture in the event of a leakage
in the refrigeration circuit, the installa-
tion space must have a minimum size of
1 m
3
per 8 g of refrigerant in compliance
with the EN 378 standard. The amount
of refrigerant contained in your appli-
ance can be found on the type plate on
your appliance.
CAUTION
Risk of damage!
The appliance may not operate properly if
exposed to low ambient temperatures for
extended periods of time. This can then
lead to an increase in temperature inside
the appliance.
■
Ensure the ambient temperature is kept
within the specifi ed range (see ‘Intend-
ed use’ on page EN-5).
Improper handling of the appliance may
result in damage.
■
If possible, do not tip the appliance hori-
zontally, but transport it at a maximum
inclined angle of 45 °.
■
Only rest the appliance against the wall
to change the door hinges.
■
Do not use sharp objects to unpack the
appliance.
Moving and unpacking
• Move the appliance using a trolley or with
the help of a second person.
• Unpack the appliance and carefully re-
move all packaging items, plastic profiles,
adhesive strips and foam padding from
inside, outside and from the back of the
appliance.
Suitable location
To achieve the highest possible cooling per-
formance with the least energy consumption,
choose a location that:
– is not too warm, is dry and well ventilated,
– is not in direct sunlight,
– is at least 2.9 m
3
in size.
We do not advise placing it directly next to
an oven, stove or radiator. The minimum dis-
tances to such appliances are:
– from electrical hobs
3 cm
– from oil and coal burning stoves
30 cm
– from refrigerators
2 cm
– from washing machines/dishwashers 2 cm
If these distances cannot be maintained,
place an insulating plate in-between. If un-
derfloor heating is installed in the room where
the mini refrigerator is to be installed, place an
insulating plate of solid material underneath.
