installation and use to ensure safe and
correct use of the appliance. Follow
the instructions, safety instructions and
warning messages included at all times.
They are important for ensuring you can
operate and install the appliance safely and
without any problems.
-

tag:
-
Observe the warning messages and other
detailed information in the other sections
when installing the appliance:

direct danger which, if not obvi‐
ated, may result in death or severe
bodily injury.

2 Installation conditions
WARNING
Fire hazard due to dampness!
If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause
short circuits.
u
The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do
not operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is
exposed to splash water or damp conditions.
Intended use
-
Install and use the appliance in indoor spaces only.
2.1 Location
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.
u
Do not damage the pipelines of the coolant circuit and
the compressor.
-
If the appliance is installed in a very humid environment,
condensation can build up on the outside of the unit.
Always ensure good airlow and ventilation in the installa‐
tion location.
-
The more refrigerant there is in the appliance, the larger
the space that it is installed in must be. If the space is
too small, any leak may create a flammable mixture of
gas and air. For every 8 g of refrigerant, the installation
space must be at least 1 m
3
. Information regarding the
coolant can be found on the serial tag inside the appli‐
ance.
2.1.1 Supporting floor
-
The floor of the installation site must be horizontal and
even.
2.1.2 Positioning
-
Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or near
radiators or similar sources of heat.
-
You can install the appliance directly next to an oven.
-
If the appliance is installed directly next to an oven,
the energy consumption may increase slightly. This is
dependent on the service life and usage intensity of the
oven.
2.2 Mains connection
WARNING
Danger of fire due to incorrect positioning!
If the mains cable or plug touches the back of the appli‐
ance, the vibration can damage the mains cable or the plug
resulting in a short circuit.
u
Make sure the mains cable is not trapped under the appli‐
ance when you position the appliance.
u
Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connec‐
tors or main cables.
u
Do not connect any appliances to sockets in the area of
the back of the appliance.
u
Do not place and operate multi-sockets/power distribu‐
tors and other electronic devices (such as halogen trans‐
formers) at the back of the appliances.

5.1 Unit front weight
NOTICE
A heavy unit door may pose a risk of damage!
If the unit door is too heavy, damage to the hinges cannot
be ruled out, which may compromise functionality.
u
Before fitting the unit door, ensure that the unit door
does not exceed the permissible weight.

5.2 Unit door
-
A door is required for the kitchen unit.
-
The door must be at least 16 mm and no more than
19mm thick.
-
There must be a gap of at least 3 mm width between the
door and the cupboard door above (if present).
-
The width of the unit door depends on the style of the
kitchen and the size of the gap between the door panels
of the cabinet. In general, a vertical gap of 3 mm should
be left between the unit doors.
-
If there are other cupboards, the top edge of the unit
door should be at the same height as the doors of the
neighbouring unit.
-
The unit door must be flat and mounted without tension.
NOTICE
A heavy unit door may pose a risk of damage!
If the unit door is too heavy, damage to the hinges cannot
be ruled out, which may compromise functionality.
u
Before fitting the unit door, ensure that the unit door
does not exceed the permissible weight.

5.5 Adjusting the gap dimension
without collisions
After you have installed the unit front(s), you must check to
ensure that the unit fronts do not collide.

Front thickness (FT) (3) Gap dimension (G)
(2) Edge radius (R)
Fig. 6 Gap dimension limit range table
L
min
= lower limit range for the gap dimension in mm
L
max
= upper limit range for the gap dimension in mm
Note
When correcting, always ensure that the unit front is
adapted to the general appearance of the front.
Check the collision properties and correct accordingly:
u
Determine the front thickness and edge radius.
u
Read the limit range for the gap dimension from the table
Fig.6().
u
Compare the gap dimension to the values from the table.
u
Perform one of the following actions according to the
evaluated gap dimension.
Gap dimen‐
sion
Description
G > L
max
If the gap dimension is greater than both
limit values, you do not have to make any
corrections.
G < L
min
If the gap dimension is below the limit
values, you must increase the gap dimen‐
sion. Increasing the edge radius is another
option.
L
min
≤ G ≤ L
max
If the gap dimension is between both limit
values, you must work precisely. Collisions
may occur quickly in these situations.
6 Transporting appliance
