Installation

Installation location
The appliance should be installed in a dry,
well ventilated room, but not exposed to
direct sunlight and not placed 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 comply with the following minimum
distances to a heat source:
3 cm to an electric cooker
30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
If the appliance is installed next to another
refrigerator or freezer, observe a minimum
distance of 2 cm to prevent condensation.

Electrical connection
Connect the appliance only to 220–240 V/
50 Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket. The socket must
be fused with a fuse ≥10 A.
If the appliance is to be operated in a non-
European country, check on the rating
plate whether the supply voltage and current
type correspond with the values of your
mains supply. The rating plate is located in
the bottom left-hand side of the refrigerator
F
compartment. Figure .
The mains connection cable may be
replaced only by an electrician.
Warning! NEVER connect the appliance to
electronic energy saver plugs (e.g. Sava
plug) or to power inverters which convert
the direct current to 230 V alternating
current (e.g. solar equipment, power
supplies on ships).
Ventilation
4
Figure
The heated air must be able to escape
through the rear of the appliance. If the air
flow is obstructed, the refrigerating unit must
work harder which increases the power
consumption. Therefore, NEVER cover the
ventilation slots.
Following delivery ...
The appliance can be switched ON
immediately.

The fully automatic No-Frost system
prevents ice from forming in the
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Defrosting is therefore no longer required.
Function:
The food is frozen by a flow of cold air.
The evaporator in the NO FROST system
cools the air inside the appliance. The cold
air is circulated by a fan. A second fan
provides for air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.The moisture in the air
condenses on the evaporator which is
defrosted fully automatically whenever
necessary.
The thawed water is directed to the
refrigerating unit where it evaporates. The
freezer section and the frozen food inside
are kept free from ice.
