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 condi-

tions, 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.

4.2 Installing the appliance

CAUTION

Transport the appliance in a packed condition. Transport the appliance upright. Do not transport the appliance without assistance.

Putting into operation

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.

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.

Fire hazard due to dampness! If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause short circuits.

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.

Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors

or main cables. 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.
