Dangers from the refrigerant!
■ Do not damage the refrigeration cir-
cuit, for example by piercing the re-
frigerant channels of the condensate
vaporiser with sharp objects, cutting
off the tubing, etc.
■ To prevent the formation of a flam-
mable gas-air mixture in the event of
a leakage in the refrigeration circuit,
the installation space must have a
minimum size of 1 m
3
per 8 g of refrig-
erant in compliance with the EN378
standard. The amount of refrigerant
in your appliance can be found on the
type plate of your appliance.
■ Refrigerant is flammable when spurt-
ing out and can damage the eyes. In
this case, rinse your eyes in clean wa-
ter and seek medical assistance im-
mediately.
To prevent the formation of a flammable gas-
air mixture in the event of a leakage in the
refrigeration circuit, the appliance must be
installed in a space measuring at least 9 m³.
Suitable locations are dry, well-ventilated are-
as that are as cool as possible. Unsuitable lo-
cations are ones with direct sunlight or which
are directly next to an oven, hob or radiator.

The following minimum distances must be
maintained:
– from electrical hobs 10 cm
– from oil and coal burning stoves 10 cm
– from other cooling appliances 10 cm
– from washing machines/
dishwashers 10 cm
If underfloor heating is installed at the set-up
location, place the cooling appliance on an
insulation plate made from solid material.
The use of energy depends on the appliance
location selected. The use of energy can in-
crease if the temperature is higher or lower
than the prescribed room temperature.
About climate categories
• Always ensure the prescribed ambient temperature is maintained (see ‘Intended use’ on
page EN-7).
Climate category means that the appliance is intended for operation at the specified ambient
temperature.
Zone description
Code Definition
Extended temperate zone SN This refrigerator is designed for use at ambient temper-
atures of +10 °C to +32 °C.
Temperate zone N This refrigerator is designed for use at ambient temper-
atures of +16 °C to +32 °C.
Subtropical zone ST This refrigerator is designed for use at ambient temper-
atures of +16 °C to +38 °C.
Tropical zone T This refrigerator is designed for use at ambient temper-
atures of +16 °C to +43 °C.
If the room temperature drops significantly below this, the unit will not switch on as often. This
indicates that an unwelcome increase in temperature may occur.
