2. 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.

2.1 Space
WARNING
Leaking refrigerant and oil!
Fire. The refrigerant contained within the appliance is environmentally friendly, but flammable. The oil contained within the appliance is flammable. Escaping refrigerant and oil can ignite if they are of high enough concentration and are exposed to an external heat source.

Do not damage the pipelines of the coolant circuit and the compressor.

• The optimal installation site is a dry and well ventilated room.
• 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.

2.1.1 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.

2.1.2 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).

2.2 Fitting the appliance into the kitchen unit
The appliance can be built into kitchen cabinets.

In order to be able to fully open the door, the appliance must protrude by the depth (B) of the door from the front of the kitchen cabinet. Regardless of the depth of the kitchen cabinets (3) and use of wall spaces, the appliance can protrude further.

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

There must be a ventilation shaft at the depth Fig. 1 (D) of 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 13 mm.

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 20 mm.

Ensure that the following conditions are met:
– Recess dimensions are adhered to .
– Ventilation requirements are complied with (see 4 Ventilation requirements) .

2.3 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:

Assemble appliances according to separate installation instructions.

2.4 Electrical connection

WARNING
Improper use!
Fire. If a power cable/plug comes into contact with the back of the appliance, the power cable/plug can be damaged by appliance vibrations and this may result in a short circuit.

• Install the appliance so that it does not touch any plugs or power cables.
• Do not connect any appliances to sockets in the area of the back of the appliance.
• Multi-sockets/power distributors and other electronic appliances (such as halogen transformers) may not be placed and operated at the back of appliances.

3. Installation dimensions

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

4. Ventilation requirements

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.

5. Transporting the appliance

• Transport the appliance in its packaging.
• Transport the appliance upright.
• Use two people when transporting the appliance

6. 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!

7. 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.

8. Setting up the device
