Installing the appliance
Permitted room temperature
The permitted room temperature depends on the climate
class of the appliance.
Information on the climate class can be found on the
rating plate.
~ "Getting to know your appliance" on page 10
Climate class 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

wall
▯ Depth of shortened side panels: min. 100 mm
Installation location
The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger
the room in which the appliance is situated must be. In
rooms which are too small, leaking refrigerant can form
a flammable gas-air mixture.
At least 1 m³ of room space is required 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 10
The weight of the appliance may be up to 460 kg
depending on the model. The base must be sufficiently
stable, and should not give. If necessary, reinforce the
