The heated air on the side panels of the
appliance must be able to escape freely.
Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must
work harder and the power consumption
is increased.
For this appliance there must be a 4 cm
gap between the wall and adjacent fur
niture.
This distance is also required so that the

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 socket must be close to the
appliance and must be freely accessible
even after the appliance has been
installed.
Connect the appliance only to
220 – 240 V/50 Hz alternating current
via a correctly installed earthed socket.
The socket must be fused with a 10 A
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 power cord may be replaced by
a technician 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).
