1.5 Safe installation
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
Improper installation is dangerous.
▶ Connect and operate the appliance only in accordance with the
specifications on the rating plate.
▶ Connect the appliance to a power supply with alternating cur-
rent only via a properly installed socket with earthing.
▶ The protective conductor system of the domestic electrical in-
stallation must be properly installed.
▶ Never equip the appliance with an external switching device,
e.g. a timer or remote control.
▶ When the appliance is installed, the mains plug of the power
cord must be freely accessible. If free access is not possible, an
all-pole isolating switch must be installed in the permanent elec-
trical installation according to the installation regulations.
▶ When installing the appliance, check that the power cable is not
trapped or damaged.
If the insulation of the power cord is damaged, this is dangerous.
▶ Never let the power cord come into contact with heat sources.
WARNING ‒ Risk of explosion!
If the appliance's ventilation openings are sealed, a leak in the re-
frigeration circuit may result in a flammable mixture of gas and air.
▶ Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the
built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
It is dangerous to use an extended power cord and non-approved
adapters.
▶ Do not use extension cables or multiple socket strips.
▶ If the power cord is too short, contact Customer Service.
▶ Only use adapters approved by the manufacturer.
Portable multiple socket strips or portable power supply units may
overheat and cause a fire.
▶ Do not place portable multiple socket strips or power supply
units on the back of the appliance.
