3.1 Installation requirements
The installation conditions are crucial to ensure that you
can operate your appliance safely, efficiently and without
problems.
-
Observe all safety instructions.
-
Consider the location and position in the room.
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.
► Make sure the mains cable is not trapped under the appli‐
ance when you position the appliance.
► Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connec‐
tors or main cables.
► Do not connect any appliances to sockets in the area of
the back of the appliance.
► 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.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to dampness!
If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause
short circuits.
► 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.
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.
► Do not damage the pipelines of the coolant circuit and
the compressor.

The more refrigerant there is in the appliance, the larger
than room must be in which it is located. In rooms that
are too small, a leak can product a flammable gas/air
mixture. For every 8g of refrigerant, the installation room
must be at least 1 m
3
in size. Information on the refrig‐
erant contained is given on the type plate inside the
appliance.
-
The floor on which the appliance stands must be hori‐
zontal and level.

When stocking observe the following:
❑
If storage surfaces Fig. 40 (1) are movable, adjust them
according to height.

8 Maintenance
8.1 Defrosting appliance
WARNING
Improper defrosting of the appliance!
Injuries and damage.
► Do not use mechanical equipment or other methods to
speed up the defrosting process other than those recom‐
mended by the manufacturer.
► Do not use electrical heating or steam-cleaning appli‐
ances, naked flames or defroster sprays to defrost.
► Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.
Defrosting is performed automatically. The defrost water
drains through the opening and evaporates.
To maintain the functionality of the appliance, we recom‐
mend defrosting it when there is a high buildup of ice.
Icing in the interior is determined by the location (e.g.
high humidity), settings on the appliance and incorrect user
behaviour.
If automatic defrosting is insufficient, defrost the appliance
manually:
► Switch off appliance.
► Pull out mains plug.
► Store refrigerated items elsewhere.
► Leave appliance door open during defrosting process.
► Soak up remaining defrost water with a cloth, clean drain
opening and the appliance.
