Danger due to refrigerants
The tubes of the refrigeration circuit convey a
small quantity of an environmentally friendly but
flammable refrigerant (R600a). It does not
damage the ozone layer and does not increase
the greenhouse effect. If refrigerant escapes, it
may injure your eyes or ignite.
▯ Do not damage the tubes.
If the tubes are damaged:
▯ Keep naked flames and ignition sources
away from the appliance.
▯ Ventilate the room.
▯ Switch off the appliance and pull out the
mains plug.
▯ Call the after-sales service.
Risk of suffocation
▯ If the appliance features a lock: keep the
key out of the reach of children.
▯ Keep children away from the packaging
and its parts.
Damage
To prevent damage:
▯ Do not stand or support yourself on the
base, runners or doors.
▯ Keep plastic parts and door seals free of oil
and grease.
▯ Pull the mains plug – not the power cord.

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 75 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
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
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.
