must have a minimum size of 1 m³ per 8 g
of refrigerant in compliance with the EN 378
standard. That equates to a minimum space
of 5 m³ for this appliance.
Suitable locations are dry, well-ventilated
areas that are cool if possible.
Unsuitable locations are ones with direct sun-
light or which are directly next to an oven, hob
or radiator.
The following minimum distances must be
maintained:
– from electrical hobs
3 cm
– from oil and coal burning stoves
30cm
– from other cooling appliances
2 cm
– from washing machines/
dishwashers 2
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 material.
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,
– the entire space above the appliance
must be clear.
– the appliance should not stand directly
against the wall (leave a minimum dis-
tance of 5 cm).
3. Check the position with a spirit level.
4. Level out any unevenness on the ground
using the two front screw feet.
– Close the doors.
– 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
doors.
Cleaning before use
To remove the odour that comes with all new
appliances, clean the appliance before using
it (see “Cleaning the fridge compartment“ on
page GB-19).
