temperatures at which the appliance may
be operated.

Ventilation
The air at the back of the appliance will
heat up. This warm air must be allowed to
freely escape, otherwise the refrigerating
machine must perform more. This raises
electricity consumption. Hence, the
airĆinlet and outlet apertures should never
be covered or blocked off!
Installing the appliance
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 an electric cooker.
30 cm to an oil or solidĆfuel cooker.
Connecting the
appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least
½ hour before switching on the appliance.
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 (see Cleaning).
The socket should be freely accessible.
Connect the appliance to
220-240 V/50 Hz alternating current
via a correctly installed earthed socket.
The socket must be fused with a 10ĆA to
16ĆA fuse.
If the appliance is to be operated
in a nonĆEuropean country, check
on the rating plate whether the
indicated voltage and current type
correspond to the values of your
mains supply. The rating plate
is situated in the bottom leftĆhand side
of the appliance. The mains
connection cable may be replaced by
an electrician only.
!
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).
