1.5 Safe installation
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
Incorrect installation is dangerous.
▶ Connect and operate the appliance only in accordance with the
specifications on the rating plate.
▶ Connect the appliance to a power supply with alternating cur-
rent only via a properly installed socket with earthing.
▶ The protective conductor system of the domestic electrical in-
stallation must be properly installed.
▶ Never equip the appliance with an external switching device,
e.g. a timer or remote control.
▶ When the appliance is installed, the mains plug of the power
cord must be freely accessible. If free access is not possible, an
isolating switch must be integrated into the permanent electrical
installation according to the installation regulations.
▶ When installing the appliance, check that the power cable is not
trapped or damaged.
If the insulation of the power cord is damaged, this is dangerous.
▶ Never let the power cord come into contact with heat sources.
WARNING ‒ Risk of explosion!
If the appliance's ventilation openings are sealed, a leak in the re-
frigeration circuit may result in a flammable mixture of gas and air.
▶ Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the
built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
It is dangerous to use an extended power cord and non-approved
adapters.
▶ Do not use extension cables or multiple socket strips.
▶ Only use adapters and power cords approved by the manufac-
turer.
▶ If the power cord is too short and a longer one is not available,
please contact an electrician to have the domestic installation
adapted.
