Technical specifications

Refrigerant, cubic capacity and further technical specifications can be found on the rating plate.

Installing the appliance

Installation location

The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger the room must be in which the appliance is situated. Leaking refrigerant can form

a flammable gas-air mixture in rooms which are too small.

The room must be at least 1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated

on the rating plate inside the appliance.

The weight of the appliance may be up to 60 kg depending on the model.

Permitted room temperature

The permitted room temperature depends on the climatic class of the appliance.

Information on the climatic class can be found on the rating plate.

Climatic	Permitted room
category	temperature
SN	+10 °C ... 32 °C
N	+16 °C ... 32 °C
ST	+16 °C ... 38 °C
T	+16 °C ... 43 °C

The appliance is fully functional within the permitted room temperature.

If an appliance of climatic class SN is operated at colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be damaged up to a room temperature of +5 °C.

Cavity depth

A cavity depth of 56 cm

is recommended for the appliance.

If the cavity depth is smaller – at least 55 cm – the energy consumption increases slightly.
