This area needs to be well ventilated. Otherwise, the refrigeration unit will work harder. This increases energy consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation opening!
Installing the appliance
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until the appliance starts up. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time, clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter “Cleaning”).
The socket should be freely accessible. Connect the appliance only to 220–240 V/ 50 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed earthed socket. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non-European countries, check whether the stated voltage and current type on the rating plate match the values of your mains supply. The rating plate is situated in the bottom left-hand side of the appliance. The power cord may be replaced by a technician only.
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).
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 coal-fired cooker.

Operating tips
While the refrigeration unit is running, water droplets or a thin layer of ice may form at the rear panel of the refrigerator. This is due to functional reasons It is not necessary to scrape off the frost or wipe off the water droplets. The rear panel defrosts auto­matically. The condensation flows into the evaporation area of the appliance via the condensation channels and the drainage hole.
The fully automatic No Frost system keeps the freezer compartment and refrigerator compartment free of ice. Defrosting is not required.
The front sides of the housing are partly heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.
If you cannot open the freezer compartment door immediately after closing it, wait 2–3 minutes until the partial vacuum has equalised.
