1.3
Appliance-specific safety
precautions
▪
Children aged from 3 to 8
years are allowed to load and
unload refrigerating appli-
ances.
1.4
Appliance installation
▪
The appliance must be installed by
qualified personnel only.
▪
Each step must be carried out and
checked in full in the order specified.
▪
Electrical connections must be carried
out by qualified personnel in accord-
ance with the guidelines and standards
for low-voltage installations and the spe-
cifications of the local electricity supply
companies.
▪
A plug-in appliance may only be con-
nected to a socket outlet with earthing
contact, installed according to specifica-
tions. An all-pole mains isolating device
with 3 mm contact opening should be
provided in the house wiring system.
Switches, plug and socket devices, cir-
cuit breakers and fusible cut-outs which
are accessible after installation and
which have all-poles switching are per-
missible as isolating devices. Effective
earthing and separately installed neutral
and earth conductors ensure safe and
fault-free operation. After installation,
live parts and cables with basic insula-
tion must not be accessible. Check old
installations.
▪
Refer to the identification plate for in-
formation on the required mains
voltage, current type and fuse protec-
tion.
▪
All plastering, plasterboarding, wall pa-
pering and painting work is to be car-
ried out prior to installing the appliance.
▪
Efficient repairs can only be guaranteed
if it is possible to de-install the complete
appliance at any time without causing
any damage.
▪
Allow a 200 cm² ventilation opening/
niche both top and bottom to ensure
ideal ventilation.
▪
The direction of the door opening can
be changed. This requires the corres-
ponding hinge and panel covers (de-
pending on model). Thickness of wood
of door leaf: 16–20 mm. Use the hinge
bolts supplied if the door leaf thickness
>19 mm. This restricts the opening
angle to 90°.

Instructions for use
Before using for the first time
▪
The appliance must be installed and
connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installa-
tion instructions. Have a qualified fitter/
electrician carry out the necessary
work.
▪
Electrical safety (protection against con-
tact) must be ensured by the installa-
tion.
▪
If the appliance is visibly damaged, do
not use it. Contact our Customer Ser-
vices. Do not use the appliance if the
cold circuit is damaged.
▪
WARNING: The required room volume
for the appliance is at least 1 m
3
per
8 g refrigerant (isobutane R600a). In
rooms that are too small, a leak can
produce a flammable air-gas mixture.
The filled volume of the refrigerant is
shown on the identification plate.
▪
WARNING: When installing the appli-
ance, ensure the mains cable is not
trapped or damaged.
