4 Putting into operation
4.1 Transporting the appliance
CAUTION
Risk of injury and danger of damage as a result of incorrect
transport!
u Transport the appliance in a packed condition.
u Transport the appliance upright.
u Do not transport the appliance without assistance.
4.2 Installing the appliance
WARNING
Fire hazard due to dampness!
If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause
short circuits.
u The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not
operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is
exposed to splash water or damp conditions.
WARNING
Risk of fire due to short circuit!
If the mains cable/connector of the appliance or of another
appliance touch the rear of the appliance, the mains cable/
connector may be damaged by the appliance vibrations,
leading to a short circuit.
u Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors
or main cables.
u Do not plug the appliance or any others into sockets located
near the rear of the appliance.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to refrigerant!
The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flam-
mable. Escaping refrigerant may ignite.
u Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.
WARNING
Fire hazard and danger of damage!
u Do not place appliances emitting heat e.g. microwaves,
toasters etc. on the appliance!
WARNING
Blocked ventilation openings pose a risk of fire and damage!
u Always keep the ventilation openings clear. Always ensure
that the appliance is properly ventilated!
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to condensate!
u Do not install the appliance directly alongside a further
refrigerator/freezer.
q
In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the
supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.
q
The floor at the site must be flat and level.
q Do not install the appliance in a location where it is exposed
to direct radiation of the sun, next to a cooker, heater and
similar.
q The ideal installation site is a dry, well ventilated room.
q
Always stand the appliance backed directly to the wall using
the enclosed wall spacers (see below).
q
The appliance may be moved only when it is empty.
q Do not install the appliance without assistance.
q The more R 600a refrigerant there is in the appliance, the
larger the room in which the appliance is standing needs to
be. In rooms that are too small, a flammable mix of gas and
air may be created if there is a leak. According to the EN
378 standard, every 11 g of R 600a refrigerant requires at
least 1 m 3 space in the room for the appliance. The amount
of refrigerant in your appliance is on the type plate inside the
appliance.
u Detach the connecting cable from the rear of the appliance,
removing the cable holder at the same time because other-
wise there will be vibratory noise!
NOTICE
The stainless steel doors are finished with a high quality
surface coating and must not be treated with the enclosed care
product,
as otherwise the surface coating will be damaged.
u Please only use a soft clean cloth to wipe the coated door
surfaces.
u Only use a stainless steel care product on the stainless
steel side walls, applying it evenly in the direction of
polishing. Subsequent cleaning will then be easier.
u Use only a soft clean cloth to wipe side walls and door
surfaces with a paint finish.
u Remove all transit supports.
The spacers supplied with some appliances must be used to
achieve the stated energy consumption. These will extend the
depth of the appliance by approx. 35 mm. The appliance is fully
functional if the spacers are not used, but does have a slightly
higher energy consumption.
u In the case of an appliance with
enclosed wall spacers, mount the
wall spacers on the back of the
appliance at the top left and right.
u Dispose of packaging material (see 4.5) .
u Align the appliance so that it
stands firmly and on a level by
applying the accompanying
spanner to the adjustable-
height feet (A) and using a
spirit level.
Note
u Clean the appliance (see 6.2) .
If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment,
condensate may form on the outside of the appliance.
u Always see to good ventilation at the installation site.
