Observe ambient
temperature and
ventilation
The climatic class can be found on the
rating plate (Fig. !0) and indicates the
ambient temperatures at which the
appliance can be operated.
Climatic class Permitted ambient
temperature
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
N +16 °C to 32 °C
ST +18 °C to 38 °C
T +18 °C to 43 °C
Ventilation
Fig. E
The air on the rear panel of the
appliance heats up. The warm air must
be able to escape. Otherwise, the
refrigerator must work harder. This will
increase the power consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block
ventilation openings!
Connecting the
appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at
least
1
/
2
hour until the appliance starts
up. During transportation the oil in the
compressor may have flowed into the
refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for the
first time, clean the interior (see
Cleaning).
The socket should be easily accessible.
Connect the appliance to 220–240 V/
50 Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket. The socket
must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher.
If the appliance is to be operated in
a non-European country, check on the
rating plate whether the indicated vol-
tage and current type correspond to
the values of your mains supply. The
rating plate is located in the appliance
at the bottom left-hand side. The
mains connection cable may be repla-
ced by an electrician only.
Warning!
Never connect the appliance to elec-
tronic energy saver plugs (e.g.
Ecoboy: Sava Plug) or to power
inverters which convert the direct
current to 230 V alternating current
(e.g. solar equipment, power supplies
on ships).
