The climate class can be found on
the rating plate. Fig. .
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.
Room temperature switch
If the room temperature drops
below +16 °C, the freezer compartment
of appliances belonging to climate
class SN may become too warm. In an
extreme case the frozen food may thaw.
To prevent this from happening, switch
on the room temperature switch. As a
result, the refrigeration unit operates
more frequently. The appliance can now
be operated at a room temperature
of +10 °C to +16 °C.
To switch on, press the room
temperature switch, Fig. 2/B. Red mark
becomes visible. The light inside the
appliance is lit at a reduced luminosity.
To save energy, switch off the room
temperature switch as soon as the room
temperature exceeds +16 °C.
Ventilation
Fig. 1/6
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.
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 match
the values of the mains supply. This
information can be found on the rating
plate. Fig. .
