This appliance must be built in,
otherwise it could tip over.
Location
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room. It should not
be installed where it is exposed to
direct sunlight or directly adjacent to a
heat-producing appliance such as an
oven or a radiator. The room
temperature should not go above or
below the climate range for which the
appliance is designed.
The higher the ambient temperature of
the room, the more energy the
appliance requires to operate.
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (ambient
temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range of
the appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.

Operating in a room which is too cold
will result in the cooling system
switching off for too long, causing the
internal temperature in the appliance to
rise with the risk of food deteriorating
and going off.
Ventilation
Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm. The appliance housing unit must
be constructed to allow sufficient space
for ventilation.
A ventilation gap of at least 38 mm
depth must be allowed for behind the
appliance for air to circulate. The air
inlet to the appliance is via the plinth in
the refrigerator.
The cross-section of the air inlet and
outlet under the room ceiling must be at
least 200 cm
2
to ensure that air can
circulate without hindrance. Otherwise
the appliance has to work harder,
resulting in an increase in electricity
consumption.
The air vents must not be covered or
blocked in any way.
They should be dusted on a regular
basis.
