Observe ambient
temperature and
ventilation
Ambient temperature
The climatic class can be found on
the rating plate. It states the room
temperature within which the appliance
can be operated. The rating plate is
located in the refrigerator compartment
at the bottom right side.
Climatic class Permitted ambient
temperature
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
N +16 °C to 32 °C
ST +16 °C to 38 °C
T +16 °C to 43 °C
Ventilation
Never cover the ventilation openings
on the rear of the appliance.
Otherwise the refrigerating unit must
work harder, increasing the power
consumption.
Place the enclosed spacers in the
designated holders on the back of the
appliance. This ensures that there is
a minimum distance between the
appliance and the wall.
Installing and
connecting
the appliance
S Have a technician install and connect
the appliance according to the
enclosed installation instructions.
S After installing the appliance, wait at
least 1 hour until the appliance starts
up. During transportation the oil in the
compressor may have flowed into the
refrigeration system.
S Before switching on the appliance for
the first time, clean the interior of the
appliance (see chapter Cleaning").
S Always connect the water before
the power.
S Apart from statutory national
regulations, you should stick to the
connection terms relating to the local
electricity and water companies.
S Do not remove the transportation
protection devices from the shelves
and storage compartments until the
appliance has been installed.
Water connection
The water may be connected only
by a competent fitter according to the
local regulations of the appropriate
water supply company.
Connect the appliance to a drinking
water line:
- Minimum pressure: 0.2 MPa (2 bar)
- Maximum pressure: up to 0.8 MPa
(8 bar)
Taste and odour of the water may be
improved by installing the enclosed
water filter. In this case observe the
different connection conditions
(see chapter Water filter").
Note
The maximum outside diameter of
the water mains (without connecting
pieces) is 10 mm.
Electrical connection
Do not use extension cables or
distributors. This appliance must be
connected to a permanently installed
socket.
The plug to secure the appliance
must be freely accessible.
Connect the appliance to
a 220-240 V/50 Hz ac current via
a plug which has been properly
installed. The socket must be fused
with a 10 to 16 A fuse or higher.
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 rightĆhand 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
(e. g. Ecoboy: Sava Plug) or to power
inverters which convert the direct
current to 230 V alternating current
(e. g. solar equipment, power supplies
on ships).
Aligning the appliance
To ensure that the appliance functions
correctly, it must be set level with
a spirit level.
If the appliance is not level, water may
flow out of the ice maker, ice cubes
may be irregular or the doors may not
close properly.
S Place the appliance in the designated
location.
