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 coolant used is eco-friendly but also flammable. Any leaking coolant may ignite.
u Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.

* Depending on model and options |
Putting into operation
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!
If your appliance is not a side-by-side (SBS) appliance:*
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to condensate!*
u Do not install the appliance directly alongside a further refrigerator/freezer.
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 coolant there is in the appliance, the larger the 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.
u Remove the protective film from the outside of the appliance.
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.
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.
u If your appliance comes with wall spacers, mount these on the back of the appliance, bottom left and right.
u Dispose of packaging material (see 4.5) .
u Align 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.
u Then support the door: Use saddle wrench SW10 to 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):*
u Proceed 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 6.4) .
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.
4.3 Reversing the door
If necessary, you can change the way the door opens:
Ensure that the following tools are available:
q 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
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:
u Set up the SBS combination in accordance with the enclosed document.
If the positioning of the devices is stipulated: u Do not change the door hinges over.
