Installation of the appliance

Important information

These instructions are intended to help with the installation of your new appliance.

The manufacturer cannot be made liable for incorrect

instarlation.

We recommend that installation is carried out by our customer service.

The appliance may be connected only by an authorised fitter according to these installation instructions.

Always connect the water before the power.

In addition to the statutory national regulations, observe the connection conditions of the electricity

and water supply companies.

Keep the installation instructions in a safe place.

Information on warm housing surfaces

Itmay occur that the appliance housing feels warm.

This is normaJ and ensures that no condensation can

deposit on the housing. This occurs when the appliance is used for the first time, at high outside temperatures or

after opening the door frequently.

Climatic class Permitted ambient

temperature

SN +10 °C to 32 °C N +16 °Cto32 °C ST +18 °C to 38 °C T +18 °C to 43 °C

Ventilation

Never cover the ventilation openings in the base panel. Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must work harder and

the power consumption is increased.

On exposed floors or floor coverings such as carpets, tiles, cork or laminate flooring, the ventilation opan_ngs

can reduce due to a change in the height of the appliance. In such a case, the appliance must be raised,

see Chapter "Aligning the appliance".

Installation in corners

The following minimum clearances must be observed for freestanding or built-in appliances:

Upwards 7 mm

Sides each 0 mm

To the rear 13 mm

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.

The installation location should neither be exposed to

direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. Ifinstallation next to a heat source is

unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances to a heat source:

• 3 cm to an electric cooker

• 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 and

indicates the ambient temperatures at which the appliance can be operated.

The worktop edges must be trimmed to an angte of 45°

if the worktop has a 25 mm projection.

For fully integrated appliances, the minimum side clearances must be increased:

Left (freezer side): 60 mm

Right (fridge side): 45 mm

This enables the ice-maker, drawers and baskets to be

removed completely.

To enable the doors to be fully opened, the minimum side c_earances must be s_ightLyincreased for instal_atian in

a comer of a room.

Important information:

For installation in a comer, where the upper part of the appliance is covered completely, measurement must take place above the hinge cover to ensure the correct

distance from the floor.

Transport • Minimum pressure: 0.24 Mpa (2.4 bar)

• Never transport the appliance horizontally.

Ifthe appliance cannot be transported in an upright position, it should be placed on its back.

After installing the appliance, wait at least Y2hour

before switching on the appliance. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.

Use a trolley for transporting the appliance.

Always load the appliance from the side or rear,

never from the front.

Attach the appliance to the trolley with straps.

Pull straps through the handle.

Never tighten the straps excessively to prevent damaging the housing.

Protect the surface of the appliance during transport, e. g, with blankets or similar.

If the appliance will not fit through the house door, the appliance doors can be unscrewed.

This work must be carned out only by a specialist.

Connecting the appliance to the water

All parts required for correct connection to the water supply are provided.

The water may be connected only by a competent fitter according to the local regulations of the appropriate

water supply company. Connect the appliance to a cold water line.

• Maximum pressure up to 0.69 Mpa (6.9 bar)

The 3/4" water tap for connecting the supplied connecting pipe should be freely accessible.

The enclosed connection lines are 3.0 m long.

Taste and odour of the water may be improved by

installing the enclosed water filter in the water supply.

If the water connection hose is damaged or has a leakage, then this should be exchanged with an original part from the manufacturer which can be

bought from the customer service.

Electrical connection

Do not use any extansion cables or distributors. This appliance must be connected to a permanently

installed socket.

The socket to which the appliance is connected must be easily accessible. Connect the appliance to

220-240 V/50 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed earthed socket. The socket must be fused with

a 10 A fuse or higher.

If the appliance is to be operated in a non-European country, check on the rating plate whether the

indicated voltage and current type correspond to the values of your mains supply. Information on position of the rating plate is provided in the Chapter "Call

Customer Service/Rating Plate". The power cord

may be replaced by an electrician only.

A Warning!

Under no circumstances must the appliance be connected to electronic energy saving plugs and

inverters that convert d.c. into 230 V a.c. (e.g. solar systems, ship's power supplies).

Fitting the water filter cartridge

Aligning the appliance

The water filter is located at the top right in the fridge.

• Open the cover,

• Remove the blue bypass cover.

Retain for future use.

To ensure that the appliance functions correctly, it must

be set level with a spirit level

Note: To ensure that the door closes tightly, the appliance

should stand 6 mm lower at the back than at the

front.

An incorrectly aligned appliance can result inwater running out of the ice-maker, ice-cubes of unequal size

being produced or the doors not closing properly.

1 Place the appliance in the designated location.

• Close the cover.

With a size 3/8" (9.5 ram) Allan key, tum the two adjusting screws (A) to raise or lower the front of the

fridge.

With an ALlankey, turn the two adjusting screws (B} to raise or lower the back of the fridge.

With a spirit level check:

Whether the appliance is level on the sides.

Whether the appliance is 6 mm lower at the back. Standard: Half a spirit leveJbubble.

Turn the feet (C) cJockwise until they are firmly on the ground.

Turn the adjusting screws (A) counter clockwise, so that weight is distributed equally between the feet.

Ifthe appliance is not standing straight:

Turn the adjusting screw (B) on the comer that wobbles clockwise until the appliance is straight.

if the doors should have different heights after aligning the appliance, these must be aligned as

follows:

9 Recheck for correct alignment with the spirit level.

10 Fit the supplied plinth cover from the front and fix in

place from above with the supplied screws.

Determine which door needs to be raised.

Turn the adjusting screws (A) on the side to be raised until the doors have the same height.

If a door cannot be raised further, the other door
