Fire hazard due to refrigerant!
The coolant used is eco-friendly but also flammable. Any
leaking coolant may ignite.
u
WARNING
Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.
6 * Depending on model and options
Fire hazard and danger of damage!
WARNING
Do not place appliances emitting heat e.g. microwaves,
u
toasters etc. on the appliance!
Putting into operation
Align the appliance so that it
u
stands firmly and on a level by
applying the accompanying
spanner to the adjustableheight feet (A) and using a
spirit level.
Blocked ventilation openings pose a risk of fire and damage!
Always keep the ventilation openings clear. Always ensure
u
that the appliance is properly ventilated!
If your appliance is not a side-by-side (SBS) appliance:*
NOTICE
WARNING
Risk of damage due to condensate!*
Do not install the appliance directly alongside a further
u
refrigerator/freezer.
In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the
q
supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.
The floor at the site must be flat and level.
q
Do not install the appliance in a location where it is exposed
q
to direct radiation of the sun, next to a cooker, heater and
similar.
Always stand the appliance backed directly to the wall using
q
the enclosed wall spacers (see below).
The appliance may be moved only when it is empty.
q
The surface supporting the appliance must be at the same
q
level as the surrounding floor.
Do not install the appliance without assistance.
q
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 appliance.
u
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.
Then support the door: Use saddle wrench SW10 to
u
unscrew the base on mounting block (B) until it makes
contact with the ground, then continue turning it for a further
90°.
When a Side-by-Side appliance (S…) is fitted together with
a second appliance (as a SBS combination):*
Proceed according to the Side-by-Side combined fridge-
u
freezer installation instructions. (Accessories bag of the SBS
freezer/appliance with freezer compartment)*
Note
Clean the appliance (see 6.4) .
u
If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment,
condensate may form on the outside of the appliance.
Always see to good ventilation at the installation site.
u
4.3 Reversing the door
If necessary, you can change the way the door opens:
Ensure that the following tools are available:
Torx® 25 (T25)
q
Torx® 15 (T15)
q
Slotted screwdriver
q
Open-ended wrench SW10
q
Spirit level
q
Open-ended wrench supplied with the T25 tool
q
If necessary, a cordless screwdriver
q
Get a stepladder if necessary
q
If necessary, a second person for assembly
q
Stainless steel care products attack these surfaces.
Only use a soft, clean cloth to wipe down finished door
u
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.
Remove the protective film from the decorative trims.
u
Remove all transit supports.
u
Spacers must be used to achieve the declared energy
consumption and to prevent condensation in the event of high
surrounding humidity. This increases the appliance depth by
about 15 mm. The appliance will work perfectly well without the
spacers but will have a slightly higher energy consumption.
If your appliance comes with wall
u
spacers, mount these on the
back of the appliance, bottom left
and right.
Dispose of packaging material (see 4.5) .
u
NOTICE
Risk of condensation damage for Side-by-Side appliances!*
Certain appliances can be set up as Side-by-Side combinations (two appliances next to each other).
If your appliance is a Side-by-Side (SBS) appliance:
Set up the SBS combination in accordance with the
u
enclosed document.
If the positioning of the devices is stipulated:
Do not change the door hinges over.
