If the appliance is in a space that is
too small, a leak in the refrigeration
circuit may result in a flammable mixture of gas and air.
▶
Only install the appliance in a
space with a volume of at least
1m3 per 8g refrigerant. The
volume of refrigerant is indicated
on the rating plate. →Fig.1/
The weight of the appliance ex works
may be up to 70kg depending on
the model.
The subfloor must be sufficiently
stable to bear the weight of the appliance.
Permitted room temperature
The permitted room temperature depends on the appliance's climate
class.
The climate class can be found on
the rating plate. →Fig.1/
Climate
class
SN 10°C to 32°C
N 16°C to 32°C
ST 16°C to 38°C
T 16°C to 43°C
Permitted room temperature
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.
Niche dimensions
Observe the niche dimensions if you
install your appliance in the niche. If
this is not the case, problems may
occur when installing the appliance.
Niche depth
Install the appliance in the recommended niche depth of 560mm.
If the niche depth is smaller, the energy consumption increases slightly.
