6 Installation

WARNING!

Damage to the refrigerant circuit at the back of the cooling device causes a fire hazard as the cooling agent is highly flammable. To avoid a damage to the refrigerant circuit due to instability of the cooling device, always fix the cooling device in accordance with the instructions.

NOTICE!

When carrying the cooling device handle it with special care.

• Carry the cooling device with two people.
• Only carry the cooling device upright.
• Be careful not to damage the technical components located at the backside.

The cooling device is designed for free-standing installation, but can be built-in if the following conditions are complied with to ensure satisfactory operation and maximum cooling efficiency.

• The cooling device must be levelled carefully to ensure proper function.
• For the glass door version: When ambient humidity is above 65 % in 25 °C ambient temperature, moisture will condense on the door.
• The socket outlet for the mains connection must be freely accessible.
• When the cooling device is positioned, the supply cord must not be trapped or damaged.

Ventilation (fig. 3, page 4)

• Ventilation must be provided as shown in alternatives A, B, C or D.
• Ventilation grills (1), if used, must have openings of at least 200cm^2 each.

- The minimum clearance between the cooling device's back and the surrounding structure should be as follows:

No. in fig. 3, page 4	Min. distance
2	20 mm
3	105 mm

• The ventilation duct must at least measure 105 mm x the width of the cooling device.
• Only the entire cooling unit must project into the ventilation duct as shown.
• Air passing through the ventilation duct must not be preheated by any source of heat.
• The ventilation duct must be kept free from any obstacles. Especially portable multi socket outlets or portable power supplies, which can get warm, must not be kept at the rear of the cooling device.

6.1 Fixing the cooling device

▶ Fix the cooling device through its fixing feet as shown (fig. 2, page 3).

6.2 Changing the decorative plate

▶ Change the decorative plate as shown (fig. 4 to fig. 7, page 5).

6.3 Mounting the sliding hinge (optional)

You can mount a sliding hinge that allows the cooling device door to be opened at the same time as the door of the built-in cabinet.

▶ Mount the sliding hinge as shown (fig. 8, page 6, to fig. 22, page 9).

6.4 Reversing the door

▶ Reverse the door as shown (fig. 23 to fig. 27, page 10). or ...

7 Operation

CAUTION! Health hazard!

Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

NOTE

• Before starting your new cooling device for the first time, you should clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (please also refer to the chapter "Cleaning and maintenance" on page 18).
• A few water drops may form inside the cooling device if it has been cooling for a lengthy period. This is normal because the moisture in the air condenses to water when the temperature in the cooling device falls. The cooling device is not defective. Wipe it out with a dry cloth if necessary.

7.1 Energy saving tips

• Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.
• Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the cooling device to keep cool.
• Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the cooling device open for longer than necessary.

7.2 Using the cooling device

NOTICE! Risk of damage

• Ensure that the objects placed in the cooling device are suitable for cooling to the selected temperature.
• Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can therefore destroy the glass containers.
• Ensure that your cooling device is well ventilated so that any heat created can dissipate. Otherwise proper functioning cannot be ensured. It is especially important not to cover the air vents.

NOTE

If you are not going to use the cooling device for a long time, leave the door slightly ajar to prevent unpleasant odours building up.

▶ Place the cooling device on a firm base.
▶ Connect the connection cable to the AC mains supply.
√ The cooling device starts cooling the interior.
▶ Set the temperature controller (fig. 1 1, page 3) to the desired temperature (3 – 12 °C)
▶ If you wish to switch the cooling device off, pull out the connection cable or ...
▶ Rotate the temperature controller (fig. 1 1, page 3) anti-clockwise to the OFF position.

8 Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING!

Always disconnect the device from the power supply before you clean and service it.

NOTICE! Risk of damage

• Never clean the cooling device under running water or in dish water.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning as these can damage the cooling device.

▶ Use a soft cloth, lukewarm water and a mild detergent to clean the inside of the cooling device.
▶ Wash out the cooling device using clean water and dry thoroughly.
▶ At annual intervals, remove dust from the cooling aggregate at the back of the cooling device using a brush or a soft cloth.
