Installation Conditions
2.1 Location
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.
Intended use: Install and use the appliance in indoor spaces only. Use the appliance only once installed.
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.
If the appliance is installed in a very humid environment, condensation can build up on the outside of the unit. Always ensure good airflow and ventilation in the installation location.
The more refrigerant there is in the appliance, the larger the space that it is installed in must be. If the space is too small, any leak may create a flammable mixture of gas and air. For every 8 g of refrigerant, the installation space must be at least 1 m³. Information regarding the coolant can be found on the serial tag inside the appliance.
2.1.1 Supporting floor
The floor of the installation site must be horizontal and even. If you are installing the unit in a cabinet standing on an uneven floor: level the cabinet.
2.1.2 Positioning
Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or near radiators or similar sources of heat.
You can install the appliance directly next to an oven. If the appliance is installed directly next to an oven, the energy consumption may increase slightly. This is dependent on the service life and usage intensity of the oven.
Only fit the appliance into solid kitchen units.
2.2 Installing multiple appliances
The appliances have been developed for different installation methods. If you wish to install several appliances next to each other or on top of each other, ensure that the following requirements are met:
- Only install appliances next to or on top of each other if they have been developed for this.
- Observe notices and the following table.
NOTICE: Risk of damage due to condensate! Do not place the appliance directly next to another cooling/refrigeration unit.
NOTICE: Risk of damage due to condensation! Do not place the appliance directly on top of another cooling/refrigeration unit.
2.3 Mains connection
WARNING: Danger of fire due to incorrect positioning! If the mains cable or plug touches the back of the appliance, 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 appliance when you position the appliance.
- Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors 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 distributors and other electronic devices (such as halogen transformers) at the back of the appliances.
