Safety instructions

Selecting the location
Place the appliance in a dry and well aired
room. The permitted ambient temperature
range for the appliance depends on the
appliance’s climate class, which is shown on
the type plate.
WARNING!
Do not place the appliance in a room where the temperature can fall below 5 °C: the appliance
may not work properly or become defective!
Relative humidityAmbient temperature rangeClimate class
≤75%
+10 °C to +32 °CSN (subnormal)
+16 °C to +32 °CN (normal)
+16 °C to +38 °CST (subtropical)
+16 °C to +43 °CT (tropical)
•In environments with high humidity level, condensate droplets may appear on the appliance’s
exterior surfaces.
•If the appliance is installed in a dry environment, we recommend purchasing additional (passive)
air humidifiers available at appliance stores.
WARNING!

Installation and connection

Installing the appliance
Appliance installation should be carried out by at least two persons, in order to avoid damage to the
appliance and physical injury of anyone involved.
In order to safely install the appliance and for the appliance to operate correctly, it is important to
place it onto a surface with adequate load-bearing capacity. If necessary, consult an architect/
structural engineer. The surface should be smooth and level with the floor in the room.
There are two casters on the back of the appliance housing that make moving the appliance around
easier.
When the appliance is placed on the intended
surface, it should be completely level in order
to decrease vibration. To level the appliance,
use the adjustable feet at the front of the
appliance. An open wrench size 17 is required
for adjusting and fastening the feet.
•Place the appliance at least 50 mm away
from an electric or gas stove, and at least
300 mm away from a heat source (e.g. a
radiator or a heater). If such clearance is
not possible, then install an insulation
panel.
•Do not expose the appliance to direct
sunlight.
•We recommend free-standing installation
of the appliance. If necessary, it can also
be placed adjacent to cabinetry. In such
case, the appliance power consumption
is likely to increase.
•There has to be a clearance of at least 50
mm between the appliance and any
cabinet above it.
