Ambient temperature 

and ventilation

Ambient temperature

The appliance is designed for a specific 

climate class. Depending on the climate 

class, the appliance can be operated at 

the following temperatures.
The climate class can be found on 

the rating plate. Fig. 

0

Note

The appliance is fully functional within 

the room temperature limits 

of the indicated climatic class. If 

an appliance of climatic class SN 

is operated at colder room temperatures, 

the appliance will not be damaged up to 

a temperature of +5 °C.

Ventilation

Fig. 

#

The air on the rear panel and on the side 

panels of the appliance heats up. 

Conduction of the heated air must 

not be obstructed. Otherwise, 

the refrigerating unit must work harder. 

This increases power consumption. 

Therefore: Never cover or block 

the ventilation openings!

Connecting 

the appliance

After installing the appliance, wait at least 

1 hour until the appliance is switched on. 

During transportation the oil in 

the compressor may have flowed into 

the refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for 

the first time, clean the interior of 

the appliance (see chapter “Cleaning 

the appliance”).

Electrical connection

The socket must be near the appliance 

and also freely accessible following 

installation of the appliance. 
The appliance complies with the 

protection class I. Connect the appliance 

to 220–240 V/50 Hz alternating current 

via a correctly installed socket with 

protective conductor. The socket must 

be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non-

European countries, check whether the 

stated voltage and current type match 

the values of your mains supply. This 

information can be found on the rating 

plate. Fig.

Warning

Never connect the appliance 

to electronic energy saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains 

and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-

controlled inverters are used 

for photovoltaic systems which 

are connected directly to the national 

grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be 

used for isolated applications (e.g. on 

ships or in mountain lodges) which are 

not connected directly to the national 

grid.
