Ventilation


Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation!
If the appliance is not ventilated
sufficiently, the compressor will run
more frequently and for longer
periods. This will result in increased
energy consumption and a higher
operating temperature of the
compressor. This, in turn, can result
in damage to the compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the appliance.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps.
The ventilation gaps must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They must also be cleaned on a
regular basis to remove dust.
Air at the back of the refrigeration
appliance gets warm. The appliance
housing unit must therefore be
constructed to allow sufficient space for
ventilation (see "Installation
dimensions" and the installation
instructions provided).

Furniture door

Horizontal and vertical gaps

Depending on the style of kitchen
furniture, the thickness and edge radius
of the furniture door panel and the gap
that runs around the door, vertically and
horizontally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the
following:
- Horizontal gap
The gap between the furniture door
panel and the housing unit door above
or below it must be at least 3 mm.
- Vertical gap
If the gap between the refrigeration
appliance furniture door panel and
the adjoining housing unit door or
wall on the hinged side is too small,
the appliance door could collide with
the adjoining furniture unit door or
side wall when opened.
It may be necessary to adjust the
size of this gap to suit the thickness
and edge radius of the appliance
furniture door.
This must be taken into consideration
when planning your kitchen and when
replacing an old refrigeration appliance
with a new one to ensure the installation
conditions required are met.
