u

near the rear of the appliance.

Putting into operation

The more coolant there is in the appliance, the larger the

q

room in which the appliance is installed must be. If the room
is too small, any leak may create a flammable mixture of gas
and air. For each 8 g of coolant the installation space must
be at least 1 m3. Information on the coolant is on the model
plate inside the appliance.

Remove the protective film from the outside of the appli-

u

ance.*

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.
