Electrical connection

Caution!
Do not connect the appliance to electronic energy saver
plugs.
You can connect the appliance to mains-control-
Note:
led and sine-controlled inverters.
Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic sys-
tems which are connected directly to the national grid.
Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated
applications. Isolated applications, e.g. on ships or in
mountain lodges, which are not connected directly to
the national grid.
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour
1.
before connecting it to prevent damaging the com-
pressor.
Insert the mains cable plug in the appliance.
2.
Connect the appliance via a correctly installed
3.
socket.
The socket must comply with the following data:
Socket with 220 V ... 240 V
Conductor 50 Hz
Fuse 10 A ... 16 A
Outside Europe: Check whether the indicated
current type of the appliance corresponds with the
values of your power supply. Appliance
specifications are on the rating plate.

The air in the appliance does not warm up so intensely. The appliance
needs to cool less frequently and therefore consumes less power.
The air can then circulate and the humidity will remain constant.The
appliance needs to cool less frequently and therefore consumes less
power.
The air on the back wall of the appliance does not warm up so inten-
sely. The appliance consumes less power if the warm air can escape.
Set the brightness level 0.

This appliance is provided with additional protection
4.
according to the heavy current regulations. This also
applies when replacing an existing appliance which
was not provided with additional protection.
The purpose of the additional protection is to protect
the user from a hazardous electric shock in the
event of a fault.
In homes which were built after 1 April 1975, all
sockets in kitchens and potentially also in utility
rooms have additional protection.
In homes which were built before 1 April 1975,
additional protection is ensured if the socket, to
which the appliance is to be connected, is
safeguarded with a residual-current circuit-breaker.
In both cases the following applies:
In a socket for a three-pin plug, the wire with the
green/yellow insulation must be connected to the
earth terminal (identified by <-417-IEC-5019-a).
In a socket for a two-pin plug, a two-pin plug must be
used. The conductor with the green/yellow insulation
must be cut off as close as possible to the plug.
In all other cases you should have an approved
electrician check how best to provide the appliance
with additional protection.
The "Electrical Council" recommends that the
required protection be provided by a residual-current
circuit-breaker with an actuating nominal value of
0.03 amps.
Connect the appliance to a socket near the appli-
5.
ance.
The socket must also be freely accessible following
installation of the appliance.

Warning
Risk of electric shock!
If the length of the mains cable is inadequate, never
use multiple sockets or extension leads.Instead,
please contact Customer Service for alternatives.
