Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated,
dry room.
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature.
The appliance should therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or
other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate classi-
fication, for which the appliance is designed.
The climate classification can be found on the serial
plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the
appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature
is correct for each climate classification:
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable,
the following minimum clearances must be main-
tained at the sides of the appliance:
– for electric cookers 3 cm;
– for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insu-
lating pad is required between the cooker and the
refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to
another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at
the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation
of condensation on the outside of the appliance.
Your refrigerator needs ventilation
The integrated door of the furniture cabinet largely
seals the installation recess. i-appliances must there-
fore be provided with ventilation by having an opening
in the furniture plinth. The warmed air must be able to
be exhausted upwards through the air shaft on the
furniture back. The ventilation cross-sections should
2
be at least 200 cm
.
Important note! In order not to impair the function of
the appliance, never cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings.
Installation
See chapter „Installation Instructions".
Please check whether, after installing your appliance
and especially after rehingeing the door, the door
seal seals right round. An untight door seal may lead
