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 electric or gas cookers.
30 cm to an oil or solidĆfuel cooker.
Connecting
the appliance
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.
Before switching on the appliance for the
first time, clean the interior of the
appliance (see chapter Cleaning).
The socket should be freely accessible.
Connect the appliance only to
220ć240 V/50 Hz alternating current via a
correctly installed earthed socket.
The socket must be fused with a 10 A to
16 A 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 power
cord may be replaced by a technician
only.

Never connect the appliance to elecĆ
tronic 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).
