Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use 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 ambi-
ent temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance
is designed.
The climate classification can be found on the
serial plate, which is located at the left on the
inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:
Climate
classification
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
ST +18 to +38 °C
for an ambient
temperature of
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances
must be maintained at the sides of the
appliance:
– for electric cookers 3 cm;
– for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat
insulating pad is required between the cooker
and the refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to
another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5
cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent
the formation of condensation on the outside of
the appliance.
Installation
See installation instructions supplied.
Please check whether, after installing your
appliance and especially after rehingeing the
door, the door seal seals right round. An untight
door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereb y
to a higher power consumption (see also „Something not working“).
