Ventilation
Fig. R
The air on the rear panel of the
appliance heats up. The warm air must
be able to escape. Otherwise, the
refrigerator must work harder. This will
increase the power consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block
ventilation openings!
Usable capacity
Information on the usable capacity can
be found inside your appliance on the
rating plate.
Connecting the
appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at
least
1
/
2
hour until the appliance starts
up. During transportation the oil in the
compressor may have flowed into the
refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for
the first time, clean the interior (see
Cleaning).
The socket should be easily accessible.
Connect the appliance to 220–240 V/
50 Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket. The socket
must be fused with a 10 A fuse or
higher.
If the appliance is to be operated in
a non-European country, check
on the rating plate whether the
indicated voltage and current type
correspond to the values of your
mains supply. The rating plate is
located in the appliance at the bottom
left-hand side. The mains connection
cable may be replaced by an
electrician only.
