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.
10 |
818 20 85-01/2 |
Installation
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 |
|

The refrigerator/freezer needs air
Air is fed under the door through the vent slots in the base and is vented 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 ...“).
Appliance Alignment
01. The appliance must be level. Please compensate for unevenness in the floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front.
