panels in the door and/or the housing. This is only
relevant for recycling. Do not remove the sticker.
Climate rating
The climate rating indicates the room
temperature at which the appliance may
be operated in order to achieve full refrig-
eration performance.
The climate rating is indicated on the type
plate.
