Ventilation
The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up.
Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed.
Otherwise, the refrigeration unit must work harder.
This increases power consumption. Therefore: Never
cover or block the ventilation openings!
Cavity depth
A cavity depth of 560 mm is recommended
for the appliance. If the cavity depth is smaller –
at least 550 mm – the energy consumption increases
slightly.
Installation location
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
The installation location should neither be exposed
to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e. g.
a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat
source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate
or observe the following minimum distances to a heat
source:
▯
3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
▯
30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until
the appliance is switched on. During transportation
the oil in the compressor may have flowed into
the refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time,
clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter
“Cleaning the appliance”).
Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely
accessible following installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with the protection class I.
Connect the appliance to 220–240 V/50 Hz
alternating current via a correctly installed socket with
protective conductor. The socket must be fused with
a 10 to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non-European countries,
check whether the stated voltage and current type
match the values of your mains supply. These
specifications can be found on the rating plate.

Warning
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy
saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-
controlled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters
are used for photovoltaic systems which
are connected directly to the national grid. Sine-
controlled inverters must be used for isolated
applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges)
which are not connected directly to the national grid.
