The manufacturer works constantly on the further developmentof all the types and models. Therefore please understand thatwe have to reserve the right to make design, equipment andtechnical modifications.To get to know all the benefits of your new appliance, pleaseread the information contained in these instructions carefully.The instructions apply to several models. Differences mayoccur. Text relating only to specific appliances is marked withan asterisk (*).Instructions for action are marked with a , the results ofaction are marked with a .

1 General safety information- Only install, connect and dispose of the appli-

ance according to the instructions. Takeparticular note of “Recess dimensions” (see 5)and “Ventilation of the kitchen unit” (see 6) .

- The socket must be easily accessible so thatthe appliance can be quickly disconnectedfrom the supply in an emergency. It must beoutside the area of the rear of the appliance.

Note identifies useful information and tips.

2 Transporting the appliance

CAUTIONRisk of injury and danger of damage as a result of incorrecttransport!u Transport the appliance in a packed condition.u Transport the appliance upright.u Do not transport the appliance without assistance.

3 Installing the appliance

WARNINGRisk of fire due to short circuit!If the mains cable/connector of the appliance or of anotherappliance touch the rear of the appliance, the mains cable/connector may be damaged by the appliance vibrations,leading to a short circuit.u Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors

or main cables.u Do not plug the appliance or any others into sockets located

near the rear of the appliance.

WARNINGFire hazard due to dampness!If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may causeshort circuits.u The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not

operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it isexposed to splash water or damp conditions.

u Only use the appliance when it is installed.

WARNINGFire hazard due to refrigerant!The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flam-mable. Escaping refrigerant may ignite.u Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.

WARNINGFire hazard and danger of damage!u Do not place appliances emitting heat e.g. microwaves,

toasters etc. on the appliance!

WARNINGBlocked ventilation openings pose a risk of fire and damage!u Always keep the ventilation openings clear. Always ensure

that the appliance is properly ventilated!

NOTICERisk of damage due to condensate!u Do not install the appliance directly alongside a further

refrigerator/freezer.

q In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact thesupplier immediately before connecting to the mains.

q The floor at the site must be flat and level.q Do not install the appliance in a location where it is exposed

to direct radiation of the sun, next to a cooker, heater andsimilar.

q Do not install the appliance without assistance.

General safety information

2 * Depending on model and options

q The more R 600a refrigerant there is in the appliance, thelarger the room in which the appliance is standing needs tobe. In rooms that are too small, a flammable mix of gas andair may be created if there is a leak. According to the EN 378standard, every 11 g of R 600a refrigerant requires at least1 m3 space in the room for the appliance. The amount ofrefrigerant in your appliance is on the type plate inside theappliance.

q Fit the appliance in stable kitchen units only.q The following ventilation gaps must be observed:

• The depth of the ventilation channel at the rear of the unitmust be at least 38 mm.

• There must be a ventilation space of at least 200 cm2 inthe plinth and at the top of the unit.

• Basically the principle applies: the larger the ventilationspace, the more energy-saving the appliance is in opera-tion.

u Detach the connecting cable from the rear of the appliance,removing the cable holder at the same time because other-wise there will be vibratory noise!

After installation:u Remove the protective film from the decorative trims.u Remove all transit supports.u Dispose of packaging material (see 11) .Noteu Clean the appliance .If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment,condensate may form on the outside of the appliance.u Always see to good ventilation at the installation site.

1226The specified energy consumption applies to a unit depth of560 mm. The appliance will work properly at a unit depth of 550mm, but at a slightly higher energy consumption.u Check the wall thickness of the adjoining units: the walls

must be at least 16 mm thick.u Only install the appliance in robust, stable kitchen units.

Secure the units against tipping.u Align the kitchen unit using a spirit level and marking square

and if necessary compensate with shims.u Ensure that the floor and walls of the unit are at right angles

to one another.

6 Ventilation of the kitchen unit

Fig. 3 - There must be an effective ventilation shaft of at least

200 cm2 per appliance at the air inlet Fig. 3 (A) and outletFig. 3 (B) vent.

- The principle applies that the larger the ventilation shaft, themore energy-saving the operation of the appliance.

- The depth of the ventilation shaft at the back of the unit mustbe at least 38 mm.

Fig. 4 - The upper ventilation shaft can either be positioned directly

above the appliance with an optional ventilation grilleFig. 4 (C), close to the ceiling above the unit Fig. 4 (D) or asan air outlet opening in a false ceiling Fig. 4 (E).

7 Changing over door hinges

WARNINGRisk of injury through door dropping out!If the fastening components are not screwed in tightly enough,the door may drop out. This can lead to serious injury. What ismore, the door may also not close fully, so that the appliancemay not refrigerate properly.u Screw the bottom and top turn hinges tightly into place (with

4 Nm).

There is a risk of injury during this stage! Pleaseobserve the safety instructions!The instructions apply to several models. Only carryout this step if it is relevant for your appliance.

Choose between the alternatives given.

Loosen the screws only, do not undo them all the way.

Check the screws and tighten if necessary.

u While changing over the door hinges, observe the safetyinstructions above and also the information in the symbolskey.

Change the hinges over as shown at the endof the book.
