Preventing material damage en

2 Preventing material
damage
ATTENTION!
Using the base, runners or appliance doors as a seat surface or climbing surface may damage the appliance.
▶ Do not stand or support yourself
on the base, runners or doors. Contamination with oil or fat may cause plastic parts and door seals to become porous.
▶ Keep plastic parts and door seals
free of oil and grease. Metal or metal-style parts in the appli­ance may contain aluminium. Alu­minium reacts when it comes into contact with acidic foods.
▶ Do not store unpackaged food in
the appliance.
3 Environmental protec-
tion and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environ­mentally compatible and can be re­cycled.
▶ Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-
ately.

3.2 Saving energy

– Maintain a 30mm clearance to
electric or gas cookers.
– Maintain a 300mm clearance to
oil or solid-fuel cookers.
¡ Use a niche depth of 560mm. ¡ Never cover or block the external
ventilation openings.

Saving energy during use

Note:The arrangement of the fittings
does not affect the energy consump­tion of the appliance.
¡ Open the appliance only briefly
and then close it carefully.
¡ Never cover or block the interior
ventilation openings or the exterior ventilation openings.
¡ Transport purchased food in a
cool bag and place in the appli­ance quickly.
¡ Allow warm food and drinks to
cool down before storing them.
¡ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
compartment to utilise the low tem­perature of the food.
¡ Always leave some space between
the food and to the back panel.
¡ Defrost the freezer compartment
regularly.
¡ Open the freezer compartment
door only briefly and then close it properly.
4 Installation and con-
nection
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.

Selecting the installation location

¡ Keep the appliance out of direct
sunlight.
¡ Install the appliance as far away as
possible from heating elements,
cookers and other heat sources:

4.2 Criteria for the installation
location
WARNING
Risk of explosion!
If the appliance is in a space that is too small, a leak in the refrigeration circuit may result in a flammable mix­ture of gas and air.
▶ Only install the appliance in a
space with a volume of at least
1m3 per 8g refrigerant. The
volume of refrigerant is indicated
on the rating plate. →"Appliance",
Fig. 1 /6, Page13
The weight of the appliance ex works may be up to 75kg depending on the model. The subfloor must be sufficiently stable to bear the weight of the appli­ance.

Permitted room temperature

The permitted room temperature de­pends on the appliance's climate class. The climate class can be found on the rating plate. →"Appliance", Fig.
1 /
, Page13
Climate class
Permitted room 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
The appliance is fully functional within the permitted room temperature. If an appliance with climate class SN is operated at colder room temperat­ures, the appliance will not be dam­aged up to a room temperature of 5°C.

Niche dimensions

Observe the niche dimensions if you install your appliance in the niche. If this is not the case, problems may occur when installing the appliance.
Niche depth
Install the appliance in the recom­mended niche depth of 560mm. If the niche depth is smaller, the en­ergy consumption increases slightly. The niche depth must be a minimum 550mm.
Niche width
An inside niche width of at least 560mm is required for the appli­ance.

Over-and-under and side-by-side installation

If you want to install 2 refrigerating appliances one over the other or side by side, you must maintain a clear­ance of at least 150mm between the appliances. Selected appliances can be installed without a minimum clear­ance. Ask your dealer or kitchen planner about this.
