Installing the appliance
Installation location
The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger
the room in which the appliance is situated must be. In
rooms which are too small, leaking refrigerant can form
a flammable gas-air mixture.
At least 1 m³ of room space is required per 8 g of
refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance
is indicated on the rating plate inside the appliance.
~"Getting to know your appliance" on page 11
The weight of the appliance may be up to 180 kg
depending on the model. The base must be sufficiently
stable, and should not give. If necessary, reinforce the
floor.
Permitted room temperature
The permitted room temperature depends on the
climate class of the appliance.
Information on the climate class can be found on the
rating plate.
~"Getting to know your appliance" on page 11
The appliance is fully functional within the permitted
room temperature.
If an appliance with climate class SN is operated at
colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be
damaged up to a room temperature of +5 °C.
Minimum clearances
Leave a distance of 300 mm above the appliance.
Observe minimum clearances as follows:
Ventilation
Never cover or block ventilation openings.

protective film.
2. Remove the mains cable from the appliance.
3. Clean the appliance.
~"Cleaning" on page 23
4. Install the fittings.
~"Features" on page 13
Electrical connection
Caution!
Do not connect the appliance to electronic energy saver
plugs.
Note: You can connect the appliance to mains-
controlled and sine-controlled inverters.
Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic
systems which are directly connected to the national
grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated
applications.Isolated applications, e.g. on ships or in
mountain lodges, which are not directly connected to
the national grid.
1. After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour
before connecting it to avoid damaging the
compressor.
2. Insert the mains cable plug in the appliance.
3. Connect the appliance to a correctly installed
socket.
The socket must comply with the following data:
Outside Europe: Check whether the indicated
current type of the appliance corresponds with the
values of your power supply. The appliance
specifications are specified on the rating plate.
~"Getting to know your appliance" on page 11
4. Connect the appliance to a socket near the
appliance.
The socket must also be freely accessible after
installation of the appliance.
:Warning
Risk of electric shock!
If the length of the mains cable is insufficient, do
NOT use multi-outlet power strips or extension
leads.Instead, please contact Customer Service for
alternative solutions.
Installing the appliance
Keep the appliance out of direct sunlight. The appliance needs to cool less frequently at low ambient temper-
atures and therefore consumes less power.
Install the appliance as far away as possible from heating elements, cookers and
other heat sources:
3 cm to electric or gas cookers
30 cm to oil or solid-fuel cookers
Select an installation location with a room temperature of approx. 20 °C (68 °F).
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings. The air on the back wall of the appliance does not warm up so
intensely. The appliance consumes less power if the warm air can
escape.
Ventilate the room daily.
Using the appliance
Open the appliance door only briefly. The air in the appliance does not warm up so intensely. The appli-
ance needs to cool less frequently and therefore consumes less
power.
Transport purchased food in a cool bag and place in the appliance quickly.
Allow warm food and drink to cool down before placing in the appliance.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment to utilise the low temperature
of the food.
Always leave a space between the food and the back wall. The air can then circulate and the humidity will remain constant.The
appliance needs to cool less frequently and therefore consumes
less power.
Pack food airtight.
Vacuum the rear of the appliance once a year. The air on the back wall of the appliance does not warm up so
intensely. The appliance consumes less power if the warm air can
escape.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings.
Switching off the lighting Set the brightness level OF.
