Placement
The ambient temperature has an effect on the energy
consumption and proper operation of the appliance.
When placing, take into consideration that it is
practical to operate the appliance between ambient
temperature limits according to the climate class that
is given in the chart below and can be found in the
data label.
If the ambient temperature goes below the lower data
the temperature of the cooling compartment can go
beyond the prescribed temperature.
If the ambient temperature goes beyond the upper
data this means longer operating time of the
compressor, breakdown in the automatic defrosting
increasing temperature in the cooling compartment or
increasing energy consumption.
Mount the spacers supplied in the plastic bag of
the accessories. Hold the spacer as shown on the
Fig., knock it home, then turn it by 90°. (Into the
oval holes of back side of the appliance.)
When placing the appliance ensure that it stands level.
This can be achieved by two adjustable feet at the
bottom in front.
Do not stand the appliance on a sunny place or close
to a radiator or cooker.
If it is unavoidable because of furnishing and the
appliance has to be stood near a cooker take these
minimum distances into consideration:
In case of gas or electric cooker 3 cm must be left,
when it is less put a 0,5-1 cm non-flam insulation
between the two appliances.
In case of oil or coal-fired stove the distance must
be 30 cms since they give off more heat.
The refrigerator is designed to operate when it is
totally pushed to the wall.
When placing the refrigerator keep minimal
distances recommended in figure.
A :
placing it under a wall-cupboard
