*INSTALLATION*

Ventilation

Risk of fire and damage due to

insufficient ventilation!
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the
compressor will run more frequently
and for longer periods. This will
result in increased energy
consumption and a higher operating
temperature of the compressor. This,
in turn, can result in damage to the
compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps. The ventilation gaps
must not be covered or blocked in
any way.

Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm.

Fitting the supplied wall spacers

The wall spacers supplied must be
used in order to achieve the stated
energy consumption values and to
prevent the build-up of condensation
at high ambient temperatures.
Appliance depth is increased by
approx. 35 mm with the wall spacers
fitted. If the wall spacers are not used,
the functionality of the appliance is not
affected. However, energy
consumption is slightly increased with
less distance between the appliance
and the wall.

Fit the wall spacers onto the back of
the appliance on the top left and
right.

Installation

Two people are required for

installing the appliance.

The appliance must be empty

when it is installed.

Move the appliance carefully on

floors that are sensitive to scratching
to prevent damage.
