INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Selecting the location
• Place the appliance in a dry and well aired room. The permitted ambient temperature range
for the appliance depends on the appliance's climate class, which is shown on the type
plate.
• Do not place the appliance near a source of heat, such as a gas cooker, radiator or boiler,
etc., and do not expose it to direct sunlight.

N (normal)
+16 °C to +32 °C
ST (subtropical)
+16 °C to +38 °C
T (tropical)
+16 °C to +43 °C
Do not place the appliance in a room where the temperature can fall below 5 °C: the
appliance may not work properly or become defective!
The appliance is not suitable for outdoor use and may not be exposed to rain.
Place the appliance in a room with a sufficient volume of air. The room must have a
volume of at least 1 m
3
of air for every 8 grams of refrigerant. The quantity of refrigerant is
shown on the type plate on the inside of the appliance.
• The appliance must be placed at a distance of at least 5 cm from an electrical or gas cooker
and at least 30 cm from a radiator or heater. An insulation panel must be fitted when these
distances cannot be kept.
• The appliance must be placed at a distance of about 5 cm from the wall, back and sides
of a cupboard. A kitchen cupboard above the appliance must have a gap of at least 5 cm
between the back of the cupboard and the wall. This is needed to make sure that there is
sufficient cooling air for the condenser.
• The plug of the installed appliance must remain accessible!
• The kitchen unit in which the appliance is to be built in must have an opening of at least
200 cm
2
in its base to allow sufficient air to circulate.
Warning:
An anti-condensation accessory must be installed before built-in appliances are installed
next to each other in a cupboard or surround.
For safety reasons, this must be
installed by a recognized installer!
