Leveling the appliance

Compensate floor unevenness using the adjustable feet.

NOTICE
The appliance must be aligned horizontally and vertically. If the appliance is not level, the main body of the appliance can be deformed and the door will not close properly.

Setting up

Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near cookers, radiators, and similar sources of heat.
The 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 installation space must be at least 1 m³. Information on the coolant is on the model plate inside the appliance.
Always install the appliance directly against the wall.
If several appliances are installed next to each other, leave a gap of 3 cm between them. If this gap is too narrow, condensation forms between the side walls.

Electrical connection
Only operate the appliance with alternating current (AC).
The permissible voltage and frequency are indicated on the type plate. The position of the type plate is shown in the section entitled Description of the appliance.
The socket must be properly earthed and protected by a fuse. The tripping current of the fuse must be between 10 A and 16 A.
The socket must not be situated behind the appliance and must be easily accessible.
Do not connect the appliance using an extension cable or extension socket.

Do not use stand-alone inverters (conversion of direct current to alternating current/three-phase current) or energy-saving plugs. Risk of damage to the electronic control system!

NOTICE
Surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drain systems must be cleaned at regular intervals.

Clean the inside, equipment parts, and outer walls with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Do not use chemical solvents or any cleaning agents containing sand or acid.
Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical components or ventilation grille.
Dry all parts well with a cloth.
The dust should be removed from the refrigeration unit and heat exchanger – metal grid at the back of the appliance – once a year.
Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.

Malfunctions

You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself:

The appliance does not function:
– Is the appliance switched on?
– Is the plug correctly fitted in the main socket?
– Is the fuse intact?
The temperature is not low enough:
– Is the temperature setting correct (see “Setting the temperature”)?
– Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct reading?
– Is the ventilation system working properly?
– Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?

If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, contact the nearest customer service department stating the type designation (1), service number (2), and appliance number (3) as indicated on the type plate.

The position of the type plate is shown in the section entitled Description of the appliance.

Shutting your appliance down
If the appliance is left empty for a lengthy period, it must be switched off, defrosted, cleaned, and dried and the door is to be left open to prevent mold formation.
The permissible room temperature for storing the appliance after decommissioning is between -10°C and +50°C.
Storing the appliance outside this temperature range can damage the appliance and cause it to malfunction.
