Ventilation
The refrigeration unit is ventilated only
via the ventilation grille in the base.
Never cover the ventilation grille or place
anything in front of it. Otherwise the
refrigeration unit must work harder,
increasing the power consumption.
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.
■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
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. 9
