Installing the

appliance

Transporting

The appliance is heavy and must

besecured during transportation and

installation.

Because of the weight/dimensions of

the appliance and to minimise the risk

of injuries and damage to the

appliance at least two persons are

necessary to setup the appliance

securely.

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well

ventilated room. The installation

location should neither be exposed to

direct sunlight nor near a heat source,

e. g. a cooker, radiator, etc.

Ifinstallation next to a heat source is

unavoidable, use a suitable insulating

plate or observe the following

minimum distances to a heat source:

−3cm to electric or gas cookers.

− 30cm to an oil or solidfuel cooker.

If installing the appliance next to

another refrigerator or freezer, there

must be a minimum gap of 25mm

between the appliances in order

toprevent condensation.

If a panel or cupboard is installed

above the appliance, ensure that a gap

of 30mm is left so that the appliance

can be pulled out of the recess if

required.

The air heated on the rear side of the

appliance must be allowed to escape

unhindered.

Subsurface

!

Attention

The appliance is very heavy.

Model with dispenser 143kg

The floor of the installation location

must not give way; if required,

reinforce floor.

To ensure that the doors can open

allthe way, observe lateral minimum

distances when installing the appliance

in a corner or recess (see chapter

Installation dimensions").

If the depth of the adjacent kitchen

equipment is more than 60 cm,

observe lateral minimum distances in

order to utilise the full door opening

angle (see chapter Door opening

angle).

Observe ambien t

temperature and ventila tion

Ambient temperature

The climatic class can be found on

therating plate. It states the room

temperaturewithin which the

appliance can be operated.

Climatic class

Permitted ambient

temperature

SN +10°C to 32°C

N +16°C to 32°C

ST +16°C to 38°C

T +16°C to 43°C

Note

The appliance is fully functional within

the room temperature limits of the

indicated climatic class.

If an appliance of climatic class SN is

operated at colder room temperatures,

the appliance will not be damaged up

to a temperature of +5°C.

Ventilation

The air on the rear panel of the

appliance heats up. Conduction of the

heated air must not be obstructed.

Otherwise, the refrigeration unit must

work harder. This increases power

consumption. Therefore: Never cover

or block the ventilation openings!

Place the enclosed spacers in the

designated holders on the back of the

appliance. This ensures that there is

aminimum distance between the

appliance and the wall.

Unpacking the appliance

A to 16 A or higher.

In the case

of appliances operated

outside of Europe, check whether the

voltage and type of current specified

on the rating plate conform to the

values of your electricity grid. The

rating plate is at the bottom right inside

the appliance. If the power cord needs

to be replaced, this must only be

carried out by a skilled professional.

!

Warning

with photovoltaic systems that are

connected directly to the national grid.

Sinusoidal−communicated inverters

must be used with standalone

applications (e.g. on ships or mountain

huts) that do not have a direct

connection to the national grid.

Unscrewing the doors

If the appliance will not fit through the

house door, the appliance doors can

be unscrewed.

Caution!

Should it be necessary to remove the

doors, this must only be carried out by

our aftersales service. Your local

aftersales service will quote you a

price for removing the doors.

When switching on your

new appliance, observe

the following

When the appliance has been

connected, there are still air bubbles in

thelines.

Run off drinking water and pour away

until water can be dispensed without

bubbles. Pour away the first 5glasses.

When using the ice maker for the first

time, do not use the first 3040ice

cubes for reasons of hygiene.

Operating the ice maker

When the freezer compartment has

reached its freezing temperature, water

flows into the ice maker and freezes

into ice cubes. When the ice cubes

areready, they are automatically

discharged into the ice cube container.

Occasionally the sides of the ice cubes

stick together. When they are

conveyed to the outlet opening, they

usually break away from each other.

When the ice cube container is full, ice

making switches off automatically.

The ice maker can make approx.

100ice cubes within 24hours.

Do not place bottles or food in the

cube container in order to cool them

quickly. Theice maker may block

and be damaged.

When the appliance has been

switched on, it takes approx.24hours

until the first batch of ice cubes are

ready.

Drinking water quality

All materials used in the drinks

dispenser are odourless andtasteless.

If the water has an aftertaste, this may

be caused by:

− Mineral and chlorine content of the

drinking water.

− Material of the domestic water line

orconnection line.

− Freshness of the drinking water

(ifwater has not been dispensed for

a long time, the water may have a

stale" taste. Inthis case dispense

approx.15glasses of water and

pour away).

Taste and odour of the water may be

improved by installing the enclosed

water filter.

The enclosed water filter will filter

only particles out of the supply

water, not bacteria or microbes.
