Wall clearance
If the appliance is positioned in the corner of a room or
a recess, minimum clearances at the sides must be
maintained so that the heated air is able to escape
unimpeded and the appliance door can be fully
opened.
Observe the room temperature and
ventilation requirements
Room temperature
The appliance is designed for a certain climate class.
Depending on the climate class, the appliance can be
operated at the following ambient temperatures.
The climate class is specified on the rating plate.
Note
The appliance is fully functional within the room
temperature limits of the specified climate class. If an
appliance in the SN climate class is operated at lower
ambient temperatures, damage to the appliance can be
excluded up to a temperature of +5 °C.
Ventilation
The heated air must be able to escape unimpeded.
Otherwise, the refrigerating unit has to work harder,
which increases the appliance's power consumption.
Therefore:
■
Never cover over or block the air vent.
■
Keep minimum distances to walls and furniture.
Connecting the appliance
After setting up the appliance, wait for at least 4 hours
before starting the appliance up. The oil contained in
the compressor may have been displaced into the
refrigeration system during transport.
Before starting the appliance up for the first time, clean
its interior (see section headed Cleaning the
appliance).
Electrical connection
The socket must be near to the appliance and easily
accessible after the appliance has been installed.
The appliance conforms to protection class I. Connect
the appliance to a 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating current
supply using a socket with protective earthing
conductor which has been correctly installed. The
socket must be protected by a fuse with a rating of
10 A to 16 A.
In the case of appliances operated outside of Europe,
check whether the voltage and type of current specified
conform to the values of your electricity grid. You will
find this information on the rating plate.

Warning
The appliance must never be connected up to an
electronic energy-saving socket.
Sinusoidal-commutated and line-commutated inverters
can be used with our appliances. Line-commutated
inverters are used with photovoltaic systems that are
connected directly to the national grid. Sinusoidal-
communicated inverters must be used with standalone
applications (e.g. on ships or mountain huts) that do
not have a direct connection to the national grid.
