x For appliances supplied with wall spacers, the measurement increases by 35 mm (see 4.2) .

1.5 Saving energy

-Pay attention to good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation holes or grids.

-Always keep the fan air slits clear.

-Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight, next to an oven, radiator or similar.

-Energy consumption is dependent on the installation conditions, e.g. ambient temperature (see 1.2) . If the ambient temperature deviates from the standard temperature of 25°C, the energy consumption may differ.

-Open the appliance for as short a time as possible.

-The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy consumption.

-Sort food before arranging (see Appliance at a glance).

-Store all food well packaged and covered. A build up of frost is avoided.

-Only take food out for as long as necessary so that it doesn’t warm up too much.

-Inserting hot food: let it cool to room temperature first.

Dust deposits increase energy consumption:

-For refrigerators with heat exchangers dust the metal grid on the back of the appliance once a year.

Putting into operation

4 Putting into operation

4.1 Transporting the appliance

CAUTION

Risk of injury and danger of damage as a result of incorrect transport!

u Transport the appliance in a packed condition. u Transport the appliance upright.

u Do not transport the appliance without assistance.

4.2 Installing the appliance

WARNING

Fire hazard due to dampness!

If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause short circuits.

u The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is exposed to splash water or damp conditions.

WARNING

Risk of fire due to short circuit!

If the mains cable/connector of the appliance or of another appliance touch the rear of the appliance, the mains cable/ connector may be damaged by the appliance vibrations, leading to a short circuit.

u Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors or main cables.

u Do not plug the appliance or any others into sockets located near the rear of the appliance.

WARNING

Fire hazard due to refrigerant!

The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flammable. Escaping refrigerant may ignite.

u Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.

WARNING

Fire hazard and danger of damage!

u Do not place appliances emitting heat e.g. microwaves, toasters etc. on the appliance!

WARNING

Blocked ventilation openings pose a risk of fire and damage!

u Always keep the ventilation openings clear. Always ensure that the appliance is properly ventilated!

q In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.

q The floor at the site must be flat and level.

q Do not install the appliance in a location where it is exposed to direct radiation of the sun, next to a cooker, heater and similar.

q Always stand the appliance backed directly to the wall using the enclosed wall spacers (see below).

q The appliance may be moved only when it is empty.

q The surface supporting the appliance must be at the same level as the surrounding floor.

q Do not install the appliance without assistance.

q The more R 600a refrigerant there is in the appliance, the larger the room in which the appliance is standing needs to be. In rooms that are too small, a flammable mix of gas and air may be created if there is a leak. According to the EN 378 standard, every 11 g of R 600a refrigerant requires at least 1 m3 space in the room for the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is on the type plate inside the appliance.

u Detach the connecting cable from the rear of the appliance, removing the cable holder at the same time because otherwise there will be vibratory noise!

NOTICE

Risk of damage from stainless steel care products!

The stainless steel doors and stainless steel side panels are treated with a premium surface finish.

Stainless steel care products attack these surfaces.

u Only use a soft, clean cloth to wipe down finished door and side panel surfaces and painted door and side panel surfaces. To remove heavy dirt, use a little water or neutral detergent. Alternatively, you can use a micro-fibre cloth.

uRemove the protective film from the decorative trims.*

uRemove all transit supports.

The spacers supplied with some appliances must be used to achieve the stated energy consumption. These will extend the depth of the appliance by approx. 35 mm. The appliance is fully functional if the spacers are not used, but does have a slightly higher energy consumption.

u In the case of an appliance with enclosed wall spacers, mount the wall spacers on the back of the appliance at the top left and right.

uDispose of packaging material (see 4.5) .

uAlign the appliance so that it stands firmly and on a level by applying the accompanying spanner to the adjustableheight feet (A) and using a spirit level.

uThen support the door: Extend the adjustable foot at the turn hinge (B) until it rests on the floor and then make a further 90° turn.

When a Side-by-Side appliance (S…) is fitted together with a second appliance (as a SBS combination):

uProceed according to the Side-by-Side combined fridgefreezer installation instructions. (Accessories bag of the SBS freezer/appliance with freezer compartment)

Note

u Clean the appliance (see 6.1) .

If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment, condensate may form on the outside of the appliance.

u Always see to good ventilation at the installation site.
