Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature.
The appliance should therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification,
for which the appliance is designed.
The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is located at the left on the inside of
the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be main-
tained at the sides of the appliance:
– for electric cookers 3 cm;
– for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required between the cooker and the
refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at
the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.
Your refrigerator needs air
The refrigerating unit of your refrigerator is designed for maintenance-
free operation. What it should never lack is good ventilation.
For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in Fig.
Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
Mounting under a continuous worktop
If installed under a continuous worktop, the appliance is
fastened with a mounting screw (F) under the panel.
If the recess height is 870 mm, the appropriate fitting kit must
be used.
The kit contains the following parts:
- 1 ventilation grille
- 2 adjustable feet
- 2 fixed feet
- 1 set of screws
- 1 instructions.
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
ST +18 to +38 °C
T +18 to +43 °C
