The installation locationshould neither be exposed to directsunlight nor near a heat source, e. g.a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation nextto a heat source is unavoidable, usea suitable insulating plate or observethe following minimum distances to aheat source:■ 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.Observe ambienttemperatureand ventilationAmbient temperatureThe appliance is designed for a specificclimatic class. Depending on the climaticclass, the appliance can be operated atthe following room temperatures.The climatic class can be found onthe rating plate, Fig. 1.NoteThe appliance is fully functional withinthe room temperature limitsof the indicated climatic class. Ifan appliance of climatic class SNis operated at colder room temperatures,the appliance will not be damaged up toa temperature of +5 °C.VentilationThe air on the rear panel ofthe appliance heats up. Conduction ofthe heated air must not be obstructed.Otherwise, the refrigeration unit mustwork harder. This increases powerconsumption. Therefore: Never coveror block the ventilation openings!Connectingthe applianceAfter installing the appliance, wait at least1 hour until the appliance is switched on.During transportation the oil inthe compressor may have flowed intothe refrigeration system.Before switching on the appliance forthe first time, clean the interior ofthe appliance (see chapter “Cleaningthe appliance”).Climatic class Permitted ambienttemperatureSN +10 °C to 32 °CN +16 °C to 32 °CST +16 °C to 38 °CT +16 °C to 43 °C
