818 36 55-00/3 9
Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected by
the ambient temperature.
The appliance should therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature
corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is
designed.
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is
located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for
each climate classification:
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
ST +18 to +38 °C
T +18 to +43 °C
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following
minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:
– for electric cookers 3 cm;
– for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.
10 818 36 55-00/3
The refrigerator/freezer needs ventilation
Air is fed under the door through the
vent slots in the base and is exhausted
upwards along the back wall. To ensure
proper air circulation never cover or
alter the vent openings.
Important! If the appliance is installed
under a hanging cabinet, a clearance of
at least 10 cm between the top of the
appliance and the cabinet above it must
be maintained.
Please check whether, after installing
your appliance and especially after
reversing the door, the door seal seals
tightly. A badly fitting door seal may
lead to heavy frosting and a higher
power consumption (see also "What to
do if ...“).
0 1. Remove the two wall spacers from
the appliance accessories pack and,
in accordance with the illustrations,
fix them at the top of the rear of the
appliance so that the distance from
the wall required for the necessary
ventilation is ensured.
Installation
Appliance Alignment
The appliance must stand on a firm horizontal surface.
0 1. Please level out unevennesses in the
floor by screwing the two adjustable
front feet in or out using the 13 mm
spanner supplied. To do this remove
the plinth panel (see chapter
“Transporting the appliance“)
818 36 55-00/3 11
Installation

Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious
1
safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
12 818 36 55-00/3
Carbon filter
There is a active carbon filter in the rear wall of the fridge section. The
carbon filter cleans the air in the fridge section and in the LONGFRESH
0°C cold section by binding unpleasant smells.
Tip: The active carbon filter is a part subject to wear and is not covered
by the warranty.
Inserting and changing the active carbon filter:
When the fridge is delivered, the carbon filter is packed in a plastic bag
to ensure a long life. Before using the appliance for the first time, the
carbon filter must be inserted behind the air discharge grill.
With the fridge operating normally, the
carbon filter should be changed once a year to
ensure optimum function.
New carbon filters can be obtained from
specialist dealers or from the customer care
department.
0 1. To open the grill, press the lever on the right
of the grill (1) and open the grill forwards (2).
2. To change the old carbon filter, pull it from
the runners (3).
3. Insert the new carbon filter into the runners
of the grill (3) and press the grill closed until
it snaps into place.
Take care when handling the filter to prevent
1
dislodging carbon particles.
Reversing The Door
The door hinges can be changed if required to suit the location where
the appliance is installed.

Appliance Description
Freezer tray
In the freezer section there is a
freezer tray in the second drawer
from the top. It can be used in both
the top drawer and the second
drawer from the top.
Berries and vegetables, for example,
can be pre-frozen on the freezer tray.
Advantage: The berries are not squeezed and maintain their natural
form. The frozen berries can then be stored in compartments or drawers
packaged in individual portions.
Cold Accumulation Block
A cold accumulation block is enclosed with the appliance.
In the event of power failure or a malfunction of the appliance, the
3
cold accumulation block will increase the hold over period by several
hours. The cold accumulation block cools best if it is placed in the top
drawer at the front on the frozen food. If the freezer section is only
partially filled, pack the frozen food together as tightly as possible, so
that in the event of a power cut the cold remains in the frozen food for
longer.
When freezing food, place the cold accumulation block on the already
frozen food to prevent defrosting due to the warmth of the food that is
being frozen.
When defrosting the appliance place the cold accumulation block on
top of the frozen food to keep it cold.
The block may also be used in a cool bag to keep the temperature of
food down during transportation.
Refer to the section "Prior to Initial Start-Up" regarding the freezing of
the cold accumulation block.
