lead to injuries. If necessary, rinse the eyes with clean water
and consult a doctor.
− WARNING! Do not operate electrical appliances inside
the cooling chamber that do not conform to the design
recommended by the manufacturer.
− Tampering with the refrigerant circuit is prohibited and
invalidates the warranty.

transporting and installing the appliance.
− Where possible, always transport the appliance upright. If tilted
to an angle of more than 40° during transport, wait 2–3 hours
before connecting it to the mains and switching it on to enable
the refrigerant circuit to settle after transport.
− Do not place the appliance on its side or back, as this can cause

Installation and electrical connection
Location
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Risk of damage to the appliance due to improper handling.
− Install the refrigerating appliance in a dry and ventilated room.
The room should be approx. 4m² to ensure that sufficient
air volume is available if the refrigeration system becomes
damaged.
− Take the space requirements into consideration when setting up
the appliance (see “Setting up and levelling the refrigerator” on
page 19).
− The appliance is suitable for climate classes ST and N (see
the type plate). The cooling performance of the appliance
is guaranteed at ambient temperatures from 16 °C to 38°C.
If temperatures deviate from this range, the appliance
performance may be reduced.
− Do not use the appliance outdoors.
− Do not expose the appliance to extreme conditions. Avoid:
−high humidity or wet conditions
−extremely high or low temperatures
−direct sunlight
−open flames.
− Never place the appliance with the front edge along the edge
of a table top or shelf, because there is a risk of the appliance
tipping forwards and falling if the door compartment is
overloaded. Take care to ensure that there is adequate space
in front of the appliance so that when opening the door, the
door lies on the storage surface when the appliance is tipped.
Safety information
12
Always load the cooling chamber first and then the door
compartment.
WARNING!
Risk of fire!
Insufficient air circulation can lead to heat accumulation.
− Make sure that the ventilation openings in the housing, around
the appliance and in the installation niche are not blocked.
− To ensure adequate ventilation, a minimum clearance of 30
cm to the top, 10 cm to the sides and 10 cm to the back must be
observed.
− Do not install near heat sources such as hobs, radiators,
underfloor heating etc. If installation near a heat source cannot
be avoided, use an appropriate insulation panel or maintain
the following minimum clearances to the heat source:
−from electric or gas ovens or similar: approx. 10 cm
−from oil or coal-fired ovens: approx. 30 cm
−If installed next to another refrigerating appliance, a
minimum distance of 10cm from the side is required.
− The appliance is not designed to be an integrated appliance.
Before connection

Information regarding refrigerant R-600a
R-600a and cyclopentane are used as 100% HCFC-free refrigerant and insulating
materials in this appliance. This helps to protect the ozone layer and reduces the so-
called greenhouse effect.
These appliances can be identified by the “Refrigerant R-600a” notice on the type
plate.
− Ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged, as small quantities of R-600a
can contribute to the greenhouse effect if released.
− This applies both when transporting the appliance and throughout its service
life.
− Also ensure that you dispose of this appliance correctly according to local
regulations.
