IMPORTANT NOTES AND
PRECAUTIONS
Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, please
read carefully the instructions for use which describe the
appliance and its correct and safe use. The instructions
apply to several appliance types/models; thus, settings or
equipment may be described herein which is not available
in your appliance. We recommend saving this instruction
manual for future reference and attach it to the appliance if
it is sold in the future.
Check for any damage or irregularities on your appliance. If
you find your appliance is damaged, notify the retailer from

Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, let
the appliance rest in a vertical position for a minimum of 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of operation faults due
to the effect of transport on the cooling system.

APPLIANCES
i
594964
• Install the appliance as specified in the instruction manual.
• Do not open the door more often than necessary.
• Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is
unobstructed.
• If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for any reason,
have it replaced as soon as possible.
• Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.
• Before placing the food in the refrigerator, allow it to cool down to room
temperature.
• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.
• To make use of the entire freezer compartment interior volume, remove
some of the drawers as described in the instruction manual.
• Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3–5 millimetre
layer of frost or ice has built up on the refrigerated surfaces.
• Make sure the layout of shelves in the compartment is uniform and that
the food is placed so that the air can freely circulate in the appliance
interior (observe the recommended placement of food as described in the
instructions).
• The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy consumption will be.

INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION
594964
SELECTING THE ROOM
• Install the appliance in a dry and well ventilated room. The appliance will
operate correctly if the environment temperature is in the interval specified in
the table. The appliance class is indicated on the rating plate / label with the
basic information on the appliance.
Class Temperature Relative Humidity
SN (subnormal) from +10 °C to +32 °C
75%
N (normal) from +16 °C to +32 °C
ST (subtropical) from +16 °C to +38 °C
T (tropical) from +16 °C to +43 °C
• Do not place an appliance in a room where temperature can drop to
below 5 °C as this may cause abnormal appliance operation or failure!
i
• After the installation, the appliance mains plug should be accessible!
Note: Place the appliance in a suciently large room. There should be at least
1 m3of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is indicated on
the rating plate in the appliance interior.
• At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the integrated
appliance, there should be at least 200 cm2free space, for adequate air
circulation.
On the upper part of the appliance the air is coming out, so try not to cover
the opening for the outfl ow air. Ignoring this caution may result in damage to
the appliance.
Warning: when installing built-in appliances into a cupboard or cabinet in a
side-by-side layout, the dew prevention installation kit should also be purchased
and installed. For safety reasons, dew prevention kit may only be installed by
an authorized service technician!
