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 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.
Room temperature switch
If the room temperature drops
below +16 °C, the freezer compartment
of appliances belonging to climate
class SN may become too warm. In
an extreme case the frozen food may
thaw. To prevent this from happening,
switch on the room temperature switch.
As a result, the refrigeration unit
operates more frequently. The appliance
can now be operated at a room
temperature of +10 °C to +16 °C.

To switch on, press the room
temperature switch, Fig. 2/B. Red mark
becomes visible. The light inside
the appliance is lit at a reduced
luminosity.
To save energy, switch off the room
temperature switch as soon as the room
temperature exceeds +16 °C.
Ventilation
Fig. 1/6
The refrigeration unit is ventilated only via
the ventilation grille in the base. Never
cover the ventilation grille or place
anything in front of it. Otherwise
the refrigeration unit must work harder,
increasing the power consumption.
Connecting
the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least
1 hour until the appliance is switched on.
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.
