NOTICE
Risk of damage!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■
Always ensure the prescribed ambi-
ent temperature is maintained (see
“Safety” on page EN-4).
– To prevent the formation of a flammable
gas-air mixture in the event of a leakage
in the refrigeration circuit, the installation
space must have a minimum size of 2.5 m³.
– The appliance must only be placed on a
level and firm surface. The surface must be
strong enough to support the appliance’s
weight when fully laden.
– Suitable locations are dry, well-ventilated
areas that are cool if possible.
– Unsuitable locations are ones with direct
sunlight or which are directly next to an ov-
en, hob or radiator.
– The following minimum distances must be
maintained:
– from electrical hobs
5 cm
– from oil and coal burning stoves 30 cm
– from other cooling appliances
5 cm
– from washing machines/
dishwashers
5 cm
– If you would like to reduce these distances,
you can fit an insulation plate between the
appliances.
– If underfloor heating is installed at the set-
up location, place the cooling appliance on
an insulation plate made from solid mate-
rial.
Setting up and aligning the
appliance
1. Place the appliance on as flat and as firm
a base as possible.
2. To ensure adequate air circulation,
– keep the entire space above the appli-
ance free.
– do not place the appliance directly
against the wall. Leave a gap of at least
10 cm to the back wall and 5 cm to the
side.
3. Check the position with a spirit level.
4. Level out any unevenness on the ground
using the two front screw feet (3).
– Close the glass door (2).
– Tilt the appliance backwards slightly and
screw/unscrew the screw feet.
– Stand the appliance back up again and
check the alignment with a spirit level.
Repeat the process until the appliance
is standing up vertically. The appliance
should not move when opening the glass
door.
Cleaning before use
To remove the odour that comes with all new
appliances, clean the appliance before us-
ing it (see “Care and maintenance” on page
EN-15).
