– Unsuitable locations are ones with direct
sunlight or which are directly next to an
oven, hob or radiator.
– If underfloor heating is installed at the set-
up location, place the cooling appliance on
an insulation plate made from solid mate-
rial.
Setting up and aligning the
appliance
1. Place the appliance on as flat and as firm
a base as possible.
2. Check the position with a spirit level.
3. Level out any unevenness on the ground
using both of the front screw feet.
4. Close the doors.
5. Tilt the appliance backwards slightly and
screw/unscrew the screw feet.
6. Stand the appliance back up again and
check the alignment with a spirit level.
Repeat the process until the appliance
is standing up vertically. The appliance
should not move when opening the doors.
Cleaning before use
In order to remove the odour which is pres-
ent in all new appliances, wipe the fridge and
freezer compartment out prior to first use
with a solution made from 100 ml vinegar
and 200 ml water. Then wipe it out with clean
water and dry all of the parts off afterwards.
Commissioning the appliance
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance, if
–
it shows visible signs of damage,
e.g. the power cord is defective,
–
it starts smoking or there is a smell
of burning,
–
it makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, pull out the mains plug
or unscrew/isolate the fuse and con-
tact our service department (see
page GB-30).
■
Do not connect to a timer or a sepa-
rate remote-controlled system for dis-
tance monitoring and control.
■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to fi re and property damage.
■
Only connect the appliance to a
properly installed and earthed elec-
tric socket. Do not connect to a mul-
ti-socket extension cable or a mul-
