sources away from the appliance,

■ thoroughly ventilate the room for

■ switch off the appliance and pull out

■ inform customer service.

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.

If the power cord of this appliance is

damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer, customer service or a

similarly qualified person. Improper

installations and repairs may put the user

at considerable risk.

Repairs may be performed by the

manufacturer, customer service or a

similarly qualified person only.

Only original parts supplied by the

manufacturer may be used. The

manufacturer guarantees that only these

parts satisfy the safety requirements.

A extension cable may be purchased

from customer service only.

Risk of electric shock!

■ Do not use pointed or sharp-edged

implements to remove frost or layers

of ice. You could damage the

refrigerant tubing. Leaking refrigerant

may ignite or cause eye injuries.

■ Do not store products which contain

flammable propellants (e.g. spray

cans) or explosive substances in the

appliance. Risk of explosion!

The appliance is designed for a specific

climate class. Depending on the climate

class, the appliance can be operated at

the following temperatures.

The climate class can be found on the

rating plate. Fig. -

The appliance is fully functional within

the room temperature limits of the

indicated climatic class. If an appliance

of climatic class SN is operated at colder

room temperatures, the appliance will

not be damaged up to a temperature

The air on the rear panel of the appliance

heats up. Conduction of the heated air

must not be obstructed. Otherwise, the

refrigeration unit must work harder. This

increases power consumption.

Therefore: Never cover or block the

ventilation openings!

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

■ 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.

■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

Climate class Permitted ambient

SN +10 °C to 32 °C N +16 °C to 32 °C ST +16 °C to 38 °C T +16 °C to 43 °Cen

After installing the appliance, wait at least

1 hour until the appliance is switched on.

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

Electrical connection

The socket must be near the appliance

and also freely accessible following

installation of the appliance.

The appliance complies with the

protection class I. Connect the appliance

to 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating current

via a correctly installed socket with

protective conductor. The socket must

be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.

For appliances operated in non-

Never connect the appliance to

electronic energy saver plugs.

Our appliances can be used with mains

and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-

controlled inverters are used for

photovoltaic systems which are

connected directly to the national grid.

Sine-controlled inverters must be used

for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or

in mountain lodges) which are not

connected directly to the national grid.

beads of condensation or hoarfrost form

at the back of the refrigerator

compartment. This is quite normal. It is

not necessary to wipe off the

condensation or frost. The rear panel

defrosts automatically. The condensation

runs into the condensation channel,

Fig. +. and is conveyed to the

refrigerating unit where it evaporates.

Keep the condensation channel and

drainage hole clean, so that the

condensation can run out.
