WARNING
Leaking coolant and oil!
Fire. The coolant contained in the appliance is eco-friendly,
but also flammable. The oil contained in the appliance
is flammable. Escaping coolant and oil can ignite if the
concentration is high enough and in contact with an
external heat source.
uDo not damage the pipelines of the coolant circuit and
the compressor.
WARNING
Fire hazard and danger of damage!
uDo not place appliances emitting heat e.g. microwaves,
toasters etc. on the appliance!
NOTICE
Covered vents!
Damage. Appliance can overheat, which can reduce the
service life of various parts of the appliance and lead to
operational impairments.
uAlways make sure there is good ventilation.
uAlways keep vents or ventilation grids in the appliance
housing and in the kitchen furniture (fully integrated
appliance) unobstructed.
uAlways keep the fan air vents unobstructed.
If your appliance is not a side-by-side (SBS) appliance:
qBefore you connect the appliance, report any damage
immediately to the delivery company.
qThe floor of the installation site must be horizontal and
even.
qDo not install the appliance in direct sunlight, next to an
oven, radiator or similar.
qThe best place for installation is a dry and well ventilated
room.*
qInstall the appliance with the rear panel up against the
wall.
qOnly ever move the appliance when it is empty.
qThe surface supporting the appliance must be at the
same level as the surrounding floor.
qDo not install the appliance on your own.
qThe more coolant there is in the appliance, the larger
the room in which the appliance is installed must be. If
the room is too small, any leak may create a flammable
mixture of gas and air. For each 8 g of coolant the instal‐
lation space must be at least 1 m3. Information on the
coolant is on the model plate inside the appliance.
uDetach the connecting cable from the rear of the appli‐
ance, removing the cable holder at the same time
