Ambient temperature

and ventilation

Ambient temperature

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. 1

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

Fig. $
The air on the rear panel of the appli-

ance heats up. Conduction of the heated

air must not be obstructed. Otherwise,

the refrigerating unit must work harder.

This increases power consumption.

Therefore: Never cover or block the

ventilation openings!

Connecting the

appliance

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 the

appliance”).

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-

European countries, check whether the

stated voltage and current type match

the values of your mains supply. This

information can be found on the rating

plate. Fig. 1

Warning

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.
