The climatic class can be found on the
rating plate and specifies the ambient
temperatures at which the appliance
may be operated.

Ventilation
Fig. 3
The air on the side walls of the appliance
heats up. The warm air must be able to
escape. Otherwise, the refrigerator must
work harder. This will increase the power
consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block ventilation
openings!
The appliance must be free standing.
There must be a 3 cm gap between the
wall and adjacent furniture.

Connecting the
appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least
1/2 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 (see Cleaning).
The socket should be easily accessible.
Connect the appliance to 220 240 V/
50 Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket. The socket must
be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher.
If the appliance is to be operated in
a non European 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 located in the
refrigerator compartment at the
bottom left hand side. The mains
connection cable may be replaced
by an electrician only.
Warning!
!
Never connect the appliance to
electronic energy saver plugs (e.g.
Ecoboy: Sava Plug) or to power
inverters which convert the direct
current to 230 V alternating current
(e.g. solar equipment, power supplies
on ships).
