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. +
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. 3
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!
Connecting
the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least
1 hour until the appliance is switched on.
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 of the
appliance (see chapter “Cleaning
the appliance”).
Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance
and also freely accessible following
installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with the
protection class I. Connect the appliance
to 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating current
via a correctly installed socket with
protective conductor. The socket must
be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non-
European countries, check whether the
stated voltage and current type match
the values of your mains supply match
the values of the mains supply. This
information can be found on the rating
plate. Fig. +
