Setup conditions
WARNING

• Risk of fire due to moisture!
• If live parts or the power cord get wet, this can cause a short circuit.
• The appliance is designed for use in enclosed spaces. Do not operate the appliance in open space or in damp areas or where there is spray.

Normal use

• Only set up and use the appliance in enclosed spaces.

Space
WARNING
Risk of fire due to refrigerant.
The refrigerant contained within the appliance is environmentally friendly, but flammable. Leaking refrigerant can ignite.

• Do not damage the pipes of the refrigerant circuit.
• If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment condensate water may form on the outside of the appliance.
• Always make sure the installation area is well ventilated.
• The more refrigerant is in the appliance, the larger the room must be where the appliance is located. In the case of a leak, a flammable gas-air mixture may be created in a room that is too small. For every 8 g of refrigerant, the installation space must be at least 1 m3. Specifications regarding the refrigerant contained within the appliance can be found on the rating plate inside the appliance.

Installation surface

• The floor of the installation site must be horizontal and level.
• The height of the appliance base must be the same as the surrounding floor.

Installation position

• Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or next to an oven, heater, or similar heat source.
• Always stand the appliance backed directly to the wall using the enclosed wall spacers (see below).

Fitting the appliance into the kitchen unit

• The appliance can be built into kitchen cabinets.

1. Top cupboard
2. Appliance
3. Kitchen cabinet
4. Wall

• (A) Appliance depth
• (B) Door depth
• (C) Ventilation cross-section
• (D) Distance to the rear of the appliance
• (E) Distance to the side of the appliance

Set up the appliance directly next to the kitchen cabinet Fig. 1 (3)

• There must be a ventilation shaft with depth Fig. 1 (D) at the back of the top cupboard over the entire width of the top cupboard.
• The cross section of the ventilation gap Fig. 1 (C) must be maintained below the ceiling.
• If the appliance is installed with the hinges next to a wall
• Fig. 1 (4) , the distance between the appliance and the wall must be at least 40 mm. This is how far the handle protrudes when the door is open.
• Ensure that the following conditions are met:
• Recess dimensions are adhered to .
• Ventilation requirements are complied with (see 4 Ventilation requirements) .

Setting up multiple appliances

NOTICE

• Risk of damage caused by water condensate!
• Do not install this device directly beside another fridge/ freezer compartment.
• These appliances are designed for different types of installation.
• Only combine appliances if the appliances are designed for this. The following table shows the installation options by model:

Installation dimensions

See the SBS setup for positioning.

Side-by-side with a distance of      70      mm between appli- ances

Otherwise condensation will    build    up between      the units.

| All models without side wall heating

Assemble appliances according to separate installation instructions.

Electrical connection

WARNING

• Risk of fire due to short circuit.
• If the power cable or plug of the appliance or another appliance and the back of the appliance touch each other the power cable or plug will be damaged by the vibrations of the appliance which could lead to a short circuit.
• Install the appliance so that it does not touch any plugs or power cables.
• Do not connect the appliance or other appliances to the sockets on the back of the appliance.

Installation dimensions

Ventilation requirements

For appliances with supplied wall spacers, the dimensions must be increased by 15 mm.

NOTICE
Risk of damage due to overheating in the case of insufficient ventilation!

• In the case of insufficient ventilation, the compressor can be damaged.
• Make sure there is sufficient ventilation.
• Observe the ventilation requirements.
• If the appliance is integrated in a fitted kitchen, the following ventilation requirements must be met:
• The spacing fins on the back of the appliance are used to ensure sufficient ventilation. These must not lie in cavities or recesses in their final installation position.
• Basically, the larger the ventilation gap, the more energy the appliance saves during operation.

Transporting the appliance

• Transport the appliance in its packaging.
• Transport the appliance upright.
• Do not move the appliance on your own.

Unpacking the appliance

• If the appliance is damaged check with the supplier immediately before connecting it.
• Check the appliance and packaging for damage during transport. If you suspect any damage, please contact your supplier immediately.
• Remove all materials that could prevent it from being installed properly or prevent proper ventilation from the back or the side panels of the appliance.
• Remove all protective films from the appliance. Do not use sharp or pointed objects for this.
• Remove the mains cable from the back of the appliance.
• Also remove the cable holder, otherwise there will be vibration noise!

Mounting wall spacers

• The spacers must be used in order to reach the declared energy consumption levels as well as to avoid the formation of condensate water at high levels of ambient humidity. These will extend the depth of the appliance by approx. 15 mm. The appliance is fully functional if the spacers are not used, but it will consume slightly more energy.
• If wall spacers are supplied with an appliance, these wall spaces must be mounted on the left and right of the back of the appliance.
