Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the compressor to turn off for
too long, causing the internal tempera-
ture in the appliance to rise, resulting in
damage.
Ventilation
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Operation of the appliance is limited.
Keep the ventilation slits free from
obstruction.
If the ventilation slits are not kept
free and unobstructed the compres-
sor will switch on more often and will
run for longer.
This can cause higher energy con-
sumption and to an increased com-
pressor operating temperature,
which can result in damage to the
compressor.
Do not block the ventilation slits.
The air at the back wall of the appliance
warms up. Therefore the cabinet must
be constructed in such a way that en-
sures unhindered ventilation (see “Built-
in dimensions”).
– The air influx
enters via the toe-
kick and the air outlet
is at the top
at the rear of the cabinet.
– To ensure ventilation an air channel of
a minimum 9/16" (40 mm) depth
must be provided at the back of the
appliance.
– The ventilation slits in the toe-kick, in
the cabinet and under the top of the
cabinet must provide a total passage
volume of at least 31 square inches
to allow the warm air to dissipate
unimpeded.
