Technical safety

m Warning

This appliance contains a small quantity of
environmentally-friendly but flammable R600a refrigerant.
Ensure that the tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not
damaged during transportation and installation. Leaking
refrigerant may cause eye injuries or ignite.

If damage has occurred

z Keep naked flames and/or ignition sources away from

the appliance,

z pull out the mains plug,

z thoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes,

z notify customer service.

The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger the
room must be. Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable
gas-air mixture in rooms which are too small.

The room must be at least 1 m
The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated on
the rating plate inside the appliance.

³

per 8 g of refrigerant.

m Redundant appliances:

z Cut off the power cord and discard with the mains

plug.

z Take off the doors.

z Do not take out the trays and receptacles: children

are therefore prevented from climbing in!

Do not allow children to play with the appliance once
it has spent its useful life. Danger of suffocation!

Refrigerators contain refrigerants and the insulation
contains gases. Refrigerant and gases must be disposed
of professionally. Ensure that tubing of the refrigerant
circuit is not damaged prior to proper disposal.

Installation

Installation location

A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation
location. 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, use a suitable insulating plate or
observe the following minimum distances to a heat source:

z 3 cm to an electric cooker.

z 30 cm to an oil or solid-fuel cooker.

The floor on which the appliance is to be installed must be
rigid. If required, reinforce the floor. To ensure that the ice
maker functions correctly, the appliance must be upright.

Observe ambient temperature and
ventilation

The climatic class can be found on the rating plate. It states
the room temperature within which the appliance can be
operated.

Fixing

For secure installation, the appliance screwed to
neighbouring kitchen furniture and/or units.

It is very important therefore that all bordering furniture
and/or units are fixed securely to the floor and/or walls.
If making structural changes fix the appliance in place
again corresponding to the the installation instructions.

Installation surface

A load-bearing base is necessary because of the heavy
weight of the fully laden appliance.

The weight of the appliance when fully loaded:

z Refrigerator 24" 400 kg

z Refrigerator 30" 500 kg

In case of doubt, consult an architect or structural
engineer.

Installing and connecting the appliance

Climatic class Permitted ambient

temperature

SN +10 ° C to 32 ° C

N+16° C to 32 ° C

ST +16 ° C to 38 ° C

T+16° C to 43 ° C

Ventilation

Never cover the ventilation openings in the base panel.
The cooling motor otherwise has to increase its output,
and this increases the electricity consumption.

m Caution!

The appliance should only be installed and connected
by a recognised installation engineer according to the
installation instructions belonging to the appliance.

After installing the appliance, wait at least ½ hour before
switching on the appliance. During transportation the oil in
the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration
system.

Before switching on the appliance for the first time, clean
the interior of the appliance (see “Cleaning the appliance”,
page 19).

10

Electrical connection

Factory settings

Do not use extension cables or distributors.

The plug to secure the appliance must be freely
accessible. Connect the appliance to a 220
ac current via a plug which has been properly installed.

The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.

For appliances operated in non-European countries,
the identification plate should be checked whether the
electric supply and the current model stated match the
vales of the mains supply. The rating plate is situated
in the bottom left-hand side of the appliance.
The power cord may be replaced by a technician only.

–240 V / 50 Hz

m Warning

Never connect the appliance to electronic energy
saver plugs or to power inverters which convert the
direct current to 230 V alternating current (e.g. solar
equipment, power supplies on ships).

Upon leaving the factory, the appliance has been supplied
with the following settings:
