Installation Dimensions

Transport the appliance upright. Use two people to transport the appliance.

During first use: Transport the appliance packaged.

When transporting appliances after initial commissioning (e.g. moving or cleaning): Empty the appliance. Secure the door against unintentional opening.

* For appliances with supplied wall spacers, the dimensions must be increased by 15 mm.

Ventilation Requirements

NOTICE: Danger of overheating due to insufficient air ventilation! The compressor may be damaged if there is insufficient air ventilation.

Take care to ensure adequate air ventilation. Observe the ventilation requirements.

If the appliance is integrated into a fitted kitchen, the following ventilation requirements must be adhered to:

• There are spacer fins at the back of the appliance to provide sufficient ventilation. Make sure that these are not positioned in recesses or openings.
• As a rule, the larger the ventilation space the more efficiently the appliance can run.

Transporting Appliance

Note when transporting the appliance:

• Transport the appliance upright.
• Use two people to transport the appliance.

Unpacking the Appliance

Before you connect the appliance, report any damage immediately to the delivery company.

• Check the appliance and the packaging for damage during transport. Contact the supplier immediately if you suspect any level of damage.
• Remove all materials from the back or the side walls of the appliance that may prevent proper installation or ventilation.
• Remove all protective films from the appliance. Do not use sharp or pointed objects for this.
• Take the power cable from the rear of the appliance. Remove the cable brackets when you do this, otherwise there will be noise caused by vibrations!

Disposing of Packaging

WARNING: Danger of suffocation due to packing material and plastic film! Do not allow children to play with packing material.

The packaging is made of recyclable materials:

• corrugated board/cardboard
• expanded polystyrene parts
• polythene bags and sheets
• polypropylene straps
• nailed wooden frame with polyethylene panel*

Take the packaging material to an official collecting point.

Door Hinge Change

WARNING: Danger of injury due to door falling out! If the bearing parts are not screwed on tightly enough, the door may fall out. This can result in serious injuries. In addition, the door may not close with the result that the appliance does not cool properly. Screw on the bearing brackets/bearing pins tightly with 4 Nm. Check all screws and retighten them if necessary.

NOTICE: Risk of damage! If the door seal is damaged, the door may fail to close properly and the cooling will be inadequate. Do not damage the door seal with the screwdriver!

These sections apply for appliances without a soft stop mechanism:
