Location
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
When deciding where to install your
refrigerator, please bear in mind that it
will use more energy if installed near a
heater, cooktop or other appliance that
gives off heat. Direct sunlight should
also be avoided.
The higher the room temperature, the
longer the compressor will run and the
higher the energy consumption will be.
Please note the following when
installing the appliance:
- The mains socket must not be
located directly behind the appliance
and must be easily accessible.
- The plug and the power cable must
not touch the rear of the refrigeration
appliance as they could be damaged
by vibrations from the appliance.
- Nor should other appliances be
plugged into a socket located directly
behind this appliance.
11618780-01
If installation near a heat source is
unavoidable, observe the following
minimum distances between the
appliance and the heat source:
- at least 3 cm
to electric or gas stoves
- at least 30 cm
to oil or coal stoves.
If it is not possible to observe these
minimum distances, an insulation plate
must be installed between the
refrigeration appliance and the heat
source.
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use within
a certain climate range (ambient
temperatures) and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range of
the appliance is stated on the data plate
inside the appliance.
