Climate class
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain climate class (room
temperature) and should not be used
outside this range. The climate class for
your appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.

Operation in a room which is too cold
will cause the compressor to switch off
for too long. This may result in increased
temperatures inside the appliance and
can cause the food to spoil.
Ventilation
WARNING! Danger of damage from
overheating. May restrict operation.
Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
The size of the ventilation gaps
indicated below must be observed,
otherwise the compressor will run
more frequently and for longer
periods of time. This will result in
increased energy consumption and
a higher operating temperature for
the compressor. This may, in turn,
damage the compressor.
The air at the back of the appliance
gets warm. The cabinet unit must
therefore be constructed to allow
sufficient space for ventilation (see
"Installation dimensions"):
– Air intake a occurs via the plinth at
the bottom of the appliance and the
air escapes at the top b at the back
of the cabinet.
– A ventilation gap at least 1,6'' (40
mm) deep must be provided behind
the appliance for air to circulate.
–
The size of the ventilation openings in
the plinth, cabinet unit and above the
appliance must always be at least 78
3/4 in
2
(200 cm
2
) to ensure that warm
air can escape without a problem.
–
Important! The wider the ventilation
openings, the less energy used by
the appliance during operation.
The ventilation openings must not
be covered or blocked in any way.
They should also be dusted on a
regular basis.
