Installing the appliance

Transporting

The appliance is heavy. Secure in position during transportation and installation.

Due to the weight/dimensions of the appliance and to minimise the risk of injury and damage to the appli ance at least two persons are necessary to set-up the appliance safely.

Removing the appliance doors

Iftheappliancewillnotfitthroughthehousedoor, theappliancedoorscanbeunscrewed.

Caution!

Only Customer service may unscrew the appliance doors.

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, useasuitableinsulatingplateorobservethefollowing minimum distances to a heat source:

Ø 3 cm to electric or gas cookers. Ø 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

If installing the appliance next to another refrigerator or

freezer, ensure a minimum lateral distance of 25 mm

to prevent the formation of condensation.

If a panel or cupboard is installed above the appli ance,ensurethatagapof30mmisleftsothatthe

appliance can be pulled out of the recess if required.

The air heated on the rear side of the appliance must be allowed to escape unhindered.

Subsurface

Caution!

The appliance is very heavy.

The floor of the installation location must not give way; if required, reinforce floor.

To ensure that the doors can open all the way, observe lateral minimum distances when installing the appliance in a corner or recess (~ chapter “Installation dimensions”).

If the depth of the adjacent kitchen equipment is more than 60 cm, observe lateral minimum distances in order to utilise the full door opening angle (~ chapter “Door opening angle”).

Observe ambient temperature and ventilation

Ambient temperature

The climate class can be found on the rating plate. The climate class indicates within which ambient temperat ures the appliance can be operated. The rating plate is located in the refrigerator compartment at the right side.

Climate class Permitted ambient temperature

Note:

The appliance is fully functional within the room temperature limits of the indicated climatic class. If an appliance of climatic class SN is operated at colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be damaged up to a temperature of +5 °C.

Ventilation

In order to improve efficiency of the cooling system and save energy, it is necessary to maintain good ventila tion around the appliance for the dissipation of heat. For this reason, sufficient clear space should b e avail able around the refrigerator. Suggest: It is advisable for there t o be 50-70 mm of space from the back to the wall, at least 100 mm from its top, at least 100 mm from its side to the wall and a clear space upfront to allow the freezer door to open 130° and the refrigerator door to open 135°.

+10 °C to 32 °C

Installing the spacers

Remove two screws with screwdriver first, and take out the spacers from plastic bag and fix it to the back of theappliancethroughthescrewsthen.Thisensures that there is a minimum distance between the appli ance and the wall.

To ensure that the appliance functions correctly, it must be set level with a spirit level.

Ø For sufficient leveling and air circulating in the lower

rear section of the appliance, the bottom feet may need to be adjusted.

Ø To allow the doors to selfclose, tilt back the top

backwards at about 15 mm or 0.5° by turning the adjustable feet.

Ø Whenever you want to move the appliance,

remember to turn the feet back up, so that the appliance can roll freely.

Ø The rollers, which are not castors, should be only

used for forward or backward movement. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers.

Ø Reinstall the appliance when relocating.
