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. +
Note
The appliance is fully functional within
the room temperature limits of the indi-
cated 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. 3
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 com-
pressor may have flowed into the refrig-
eration 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 protec-
tion class I. Connect the appliance to
220–240 V/50 Hz alternating current via
a correctly installed socket with protec-
tive 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. +
ã=Warning
Never connect the appliance
to electronic energy saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains
and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-con-
trolled inverters are used for photovoltaic
systems which are connected directly to
the national grid. Sine-controlled invert-
ers must be used for isolated applica-
tions (e.g. on ships or in mountain
lodges) which are not connected directly
to the national grid.
