Siting
The appliance must be stand firmly and level
on the floor. Use the two front height-
adjustable feet to compensate for an uneven
floor.
Electrical connection
Connect the appliance only to 220–240 V/
50 Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket. The socket must
be fused with a fuse ≥10 A.
If the appliance is to be operated in a non-
European country, check on the rating plate
whether the supply voltage and current type
correspond with the values of your mains
supply. The rating plate is located in the
upper left-hand side of the refrigerator
compartment (Figure
D
).
The mains connection cable may be
replaced only by an electrician.
Ventilation
The heated air must be able to escape
through the rear of the appliance. If the air
flow is obstructed, the refrigerating unit must
work harder which increases the power
consumption. Therefore, NEVER cover the
ventilation slots (Fig.
3
).
Following delivery ...
The appliance can be switched ON
immediately.
Siting the appliance
Note the ambient
temperature
The appliance can be operated at the
following ambient temperatures depending
on the “climatic category” (see rating plate).
(The rating plate can be found inside the
appliance at the upper left-hand side.
Fig.
D
).
Climatic Ambient temperature
category from ... to
SN +10 °C to +32 °C
N +16 °C to +32 °C
ST +18 °C to +38 °C
T +18 °C to +43 °C
If the ambient temperature drops below the
lower ambient-temperature range, the
running time of the refrigerating unit is
reduced. As a result, the freezer compart-
ment does not drop to a sufficiently low
temperature. In extreme cases frozen foods
can thaw.
Appliances which feature an ambient-
temperature switch (Fig.
2
/A) can be
operated below an ambient temperature of
+18 °C when the switch is ON.
When the switch is ON, the red mark is
visible. (Fig.

Site
Site the appliance in a dry, well ventilated
room, but NOT in direct sunlight and NOT
near a heat source, e.g. cooker, radiator, etc.
If installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate
or comply with the following minimum
distances to the heat source.
3 cm to an electric cooker.
30 cm to a coal-fired cooker.
If the appliance is installed next to another
refrigerator or freezer, observe a minimum
distance of 2 cm to prevent condensation.
