Installing the appliance
Transporting
The appliance is heavy. Secure in position during
transportation and installation.
Due to the weight/dimensions of the appliance and
to minimise the risk of injury and damage to the appli
ance at least two persons are necessary to set-up the
appliance safely.
Removing the appliance doors
If the appliance will not fit through the house door,
the appliance doors can be unscrewed.
Caution!
Only Customer service may unscrew the appliance
doors.
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.
Ø
30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
Ø
If installing the appliance next to another refrigerator or
freezer, ensure a minimum lateral distance of 25 mm
to prevent the formation of condensation.
If a panel or cupboard is installed above the appli
ance, 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
Caution!
The appliance is very heavy.
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
(~ chapter "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
(~ chapter "Door opening angle").
Observe ambient temperature and
ventilation
Ambient temperature
The climate class can be found on the rating plate. The
climate class indicates within which ambient temperat
ures the appliance can be operated. The rating plate
is located in the refrigerator compartment at the right
side.
Climate class
Permitted ambient temperature
SN
+10 °C to 32 °C
+16 °C to 32 °C
N
ST
+16 °C to 38 °C
T
+16 °C to 43 °C
Note:
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 of +5 °C.
Ventilation
In order to improve efficiency of the cooling system
and save energy, it is necessary to maintain good venti
lation around the appliance for the dissipation of heat.
For this reason, sufficient clear space should be avail
able around the refrigerator. Suggest: It is advisable for
there to be 50-70 mm of space from the back to the
wall, at least 100 mm from its top, at least 100 mm
from its side to the wall and a clear space upfront
to allow the freezer door to open 130° and the
refrigerator door to open 135°.
