Installation location

A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as 

an installation location. The installation 

location should not be exposed to direct 

sunlight and not placed near a heat 

source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If 

installation next to a heat source is 

unavoidable, use a suitable insulating 

plate or observe the following minimum 

distances from the heat source:

■

3 cm to electric or gas cookers.

■

30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

The floor of the installation location must 

not give way; if required, reinforce floor. If 

the floor is uneven, compensate with 

supports. 

Distance from wall

A gap is not required between the 

appliance and side wall. The containers 

and shelves are still fully extendable. 

Reversing the door

(if required)
If required, we recommend that you have 

the door hinges changed over by our 

customer service. You can find out the 

costs for changing over the door hinges 

from your appropriate customer service.

Warning

While changing over the door hinges, 

ensure that the appliance is not 

connected to the power supply. Pull out 

the mains plug beforehand. To prevent 

damaging the back of the appliance, 

place adequate padding underneath. 

Carefully place the appliance on its 

back. 

Note

If the appliance is placed on its back, 

ensure that the wall spacer is not fitted.

Ambient temperature 

and ventilation

Ambient temperature

The appliance is designed for a specific 

climate class. Depending on the climate 

class, the appliance can be operated at 

the following temperatures.
The climate class can be found on 

the rating plate. Fig. 

1

Note

The appliance is fully functional within 

the room temperature limits 

of the indicated climatic class. If 

an appliance of climatic class SN 

is operated at colder room temperatures, 

the appliance will not be damaged up to 

a temperature of +5 °C.

Ventilation

Fig. 

$

The air on the rear 

panel of the appliance heats up. 

Conduction of the heated air must 

not be obstructed. Otherwise, 

the refrigerating unit must work harder. 

This increases power consumption. 

Therefore: Never cover or block 

the ventilation openings!
