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.

Removing the appliance doors
If the appliance will not fit through the house door,
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.acooker,radiator,
etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable,
use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following
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 m m
to prevent the formation of condensation.
If a panel or cupboard is installed above the appli
ance, ensure that a gap of 30 mm is left so that the
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.

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 be avail
able around the refrigerator. Suggest: It is advisable for
there to 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°.

: Warning – Risk of electric shock!
If the length of the mains cable is inadequate, never
use multiple sockets or extension leads. Instead,
please contact Customer service for alternatives.
The appliance must be connected to a permanently
installed s ocket.
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely
accessible following installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with protection class I.
Connect the appliance to 220-240 V / 50 Hz alter
nating current via a correctly installed socket with
protective conductor. Thesocketmustbeprotected
by a 10 A to 16 A fuse or higher.
For appliances operated in non-European countries,
check whether the indicated voltage and current type
match the values of your electricity supply. The rating
plate is situated in the bottom right-hand side of the
appliance. The mains cable may be replaced by a
technician only.
: Warning
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver
plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains and sinecontrolled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters are used
for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly
to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be
used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in
mountain lodges) which are not connected directly
to the national grid.
