Installation instructions

Transporting

The appliances are heavy and must be secured during transportation and installation.

Because of the weight/dimensions of the appliance and to minimise the risk of injuries and damage to the appliance at least two persons are necessary

to set0up the appliance securely.

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 electric or gas cookers.

-30 cm to an oil or solid0fuel cooker.

If installing the appliance next to another refrigerator or freezer, there must be

a minimum gap of 25 mm between the appliances in order to prevent condensation.

If a panel or cupboard is installed above the appliance, ensure that a gap of

30 mm is left so that the appliance can be pulled out of the recess if required.

The air heated on the rear side of the appliance must be allowed to escape unhindered.

Subsurface

Attention!

The appliance is very heavy. Refer to the following appliance weight table (empty weight):

Model with dispenser

143 kg

The floor of the installation location must not give way; if required, reinforce floor.

To ensure that the doors can open all the way, observe lateral minimum

distances when installing the appliance in a corner or recess (see chapter •Appliance and installation dimensions").

If the depth of the adjacent kitchen equipment is more than 60 cm, observe lateral minimum distances in order to utilise the full door opening angle (see chapter •Door opening angle").

Observe ambient temperature and ventilation

Ambient temperature

The climatic class can be found on the rating plate. It states the room

temperature within which the appliance can be operated. The rating plate is located in the refrigerator compartment at the bottom right side.

Climatic class		Permitted ambient
		temperature
SN		+10 °C to 32 °C
N		+16 °C to 32 °C
ST		+16 °C to 38 °C
T		+16 °C to 43 °C

Ventilation

Never cover the ventilation openings on the rear of the appliance.

Otherwise the refrigerating unit must work harder, increasing the power consumption.

Place the enclosed spacers in the designated holders on the back of the appliance. This ensures that there is a minimum distance between the appliance and the wall.
