Installation

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances to a heat source:
3 cm to an electric cooker.
30 cm to an oil or solid-fuel cooker.
The floor on which the appliance is to be installed must be rigid. If required, reinforce the floor. To ensure that the ice maker functions correctly, the appliance must be upright.

Observe ambient temperature and ventilation

The climatic class can be found on the rating plate It states the room temperature within which the appliance can be operated.
Atmosphere grade
SN +10
N+16
ST +18
T+18°C to 43 °C

Ventilation

Never cover the ventilation openings in the base panel. The cooling motor otherwise has to increase ist output, and this increases the electricity consumption.
Permitted ambient temperature
°C to 32 °C
°C to 32 °C
°C to 38 °C
For secure installation, the appliance screwed to neighbouring kitchen furniture and/or units.
It is very important therefore that all bordering furniture and/or units are fixed securely to the floor and/or walls. If making structural changes fix the appliance in place again corresponding to the the installation instructions.

Installation surface

A load-bearing base is necessary because of the heavy weight of the fully laden appliance.
The weight of the appliance when fully loaded:
Refrigerator 24" 400 kg
Refrigerator 30" 500 kg
In case of doubt, consult an architect or structural engineer.

Do not use an extension lead or a multi­plug socket.
The plug to secure the appliance must be freely accessible. Connect the appliance to a 220 50 Hz ac current via a plug which has been properly installed. The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher.
For appliances operated in non­European countries, the identifi­cation plate should be checked whether the electric supply and the current model stated match the vales of the mains supply. The rating plate is situated in the bottom left-hand side of the appliance. Any necessary exchanging of the mains lead should carried out by a specialist electrician.

m Warning

Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs or to power inverters which convert the direct current to 230 V alternating current (e.g. solar equipment, power supplies on ships).

Preserving food

Pay attention when arranging food:

Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down outside the appliance.
Wrap or cover food before placing
in the appliance. This way the aroma and freshness is preserved. This is done likewise to help avoid the transfer of odours and colours onto plastic parts.
Keep plastic parts and the door
seal free of oil and grease.
Bottles which contain a high
percentage of alcohol must be sealed and stored in an upright position.

When buying food, please note:

The “purchase freshness” is important for the shelf-life of your food. The following principle applies: the fresher the supplies are when placed in the chiller section drawer, the longer they can be held for. When buying food, always note the degree of freshness.
