Installing the appliance
Installation location
The more refrigerant an appliance
contains, the larger the room must be
in which the appliance is situated.
Leaking refrigerant can form
a flammable gas-air mixture in rooms
which are too small.
The room must be at least 1 m³ per 8 g
of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant
in your appliance is indicated
on the rating plate inside the appliance.
~ "Getting to know your appliance"
on page 8
The weight of the appliance may be up
to 65 kg depending on the model.
Permitted room temperature
The permitted room temperature
depends on the climatic class of the
appliance.
Information on the climatic class can be
found on the rating plate.
~ "Getting to know your appliance"
on page 8
The appliance is fully functional within
the permitted room temperature.
If an appliance of climatic class SN is
operated at colder room temperatures,
the appliance will not be damaged up to
a room temperature of +5 °C.
Cavity depth
A cavity depth of 56 cm
is recommended for the appliance.
If the cavity depth is smaller – at least
55 cm – the energy consumption
increases slightly.
Climatic category
Permitted room temperature
SN +10 °C ... 32 °C
N +16 °C ... 32 °C
ST +16 °C ... 38 °C
T +16 °C ... 43 °C

Tips for saving energy
If you follow the instructions below, your appliance will use less power.
Note: The arrangement of the features does not affect the energy consumption of
the appliance.
--------
Installing the appliance
Keep the appliance out of direct sunlight. The appliance must cool less frequently at low
ambient temperatures and therefore consumes less
power.
Install the appliance as far away as possible from
heating elements, cooker and other heat sources:
3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
30 cm to an oil or solid-fuel cooker.
Note: If this is not possible, attach an insulating
plate between the appliance and heat source.
Select an installation location at a room temperature
of approx. 20 °C.
Use a cavity depth of 56 cm.
Caution!
Risk of burns!
Individual parts of the appliance become hot during
operation. Touching these parts may result in burns.
The air on the rear panel of the appliance does not
warm up so intensely. The appliance consumes less
power if the warm air can escape.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings.
Ventilate the room daily.
Using the appliance
Open the appliance door only briefly. The air in the appliance does not warm up so
intensely. The appliance must cool less frequently
and therefore consumes less power.
Transport purchased food in a cool bag and place
quickly in the appliance.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment in
order to utilise the low temperature of the frozen
food.
Always leave a space between the food and the rear
panel.
The air can circulate and the air humidity will
remain constant. The appliance must cool less frequently and therefore consumes less power.
Pack food airtight.
Vacuum the back of the appliance once a year. The air on the rear panel of the appliance does not
warm up so intensely. The appliance consumes less
power if the warm air can escape.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings.
