Ambient Temperature And Ventilation; Connecting The Appliance - Siemens CI**R SERIES User Manual

Ambient temperature
and ventilation
Ambient temperature
The climate class can be found on the rating plate.
The climate class indicates within which ambient
temperatures the appliance can be operated.
Climate class Permitted ambient
temperature
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
N +16 °C to 32 °C
ST +16 °C to 38 °C
+16 °C to 43 °C

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.
Ventilation
Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed.
Otherwise, the refrigeration unit must work harder. This
increases power consumption. Therefore: Never cover
or block the ventilation opening!

Connecting the appliance

Have a technician install and connect the appliance
according to the enclosed installation instructions.
Do not remove the transportation protection devices
from the shelves and storage compartments until
the appliance has been installed.
In addition to the statutory national regulations, observe
the connection conditions of the local power supply
companies.
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 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 on
the rating plate match the values of your mains supply.
These specifications can be found on the rating plate
(see chapter "Customer service").

Warning
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver
plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-
controlled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters are used
for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly
to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be
used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in
mountain lodges) which are not connected directly to
the national grid.
