Ventilation

The air on the rear panel of the appliance
heats up. The warm air must be able to
escape. Otherwise, the refrigerator must
work harder. This will increase the power
consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block ventilation
openings!

Connecting the
appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at
least ½ 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 (see Cleaning).
The socket should be freely accessible.
Connect the appliance to 220-240 V/
50 Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket. The socket must
be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.
If the appliance is to be operated in
a non European country, check on
the rating plate whether the indicated
voltage and current type correspond
to the values of your mains supply.
The rating plate is situated in the
bottom left hand side of the appliance.
The mains connection cable may be
replaced by an electrician only.
Warning!
!
Never connect the appliance to
electronic energy saver plugs or to
power inverters which convert the
direct current to 230 V alternating
current (e.g. solar equipment,
power supplies on ships).
