Fire risk and danger of damage
from appliances which give off heat.
Appliances which give off heat can
catch fire and set fire to the
refrigeration appliance.
Do not place appliances which give
off heat, such as mini-ovens, double
burner hobs or toasters on the
refrigeration appliance.
Fire risk and danger of damage
from open flames!
Open flames can set fire to the
refrigeration appliance.
Keep open flames (e.g. a candle)
away from the refrigeration
appliance.
Risk of damage due to
condensation on the external
appliance panels.
In environments with high humidity,
condensation can build up on
external appliance panels, which can
cause corrosion.
To prevent this, it is advisable to
install the appliance with sufficient
ventilation in a dry and/or air
conditioned room.
After installation, make sure that the
appliance door closes properly, that
the specified ventilation gaps are
adhered to, and that the appliance
has been installed in accordance
with these installation instructions.
Climate range
This refrigeration appliance is designed
for use within specific ambient
temperatures (climate range). Do not
use in ambient temperatures for which it
is not designed.
A lower room temperature leads to the
compressor switching off for longer
periods. This can cause the internal
temperature in the appliance to rise with
the risk of food deteriorating and going
off.
The climate range is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
Climate range Ambient room
temperature
SN +10 to +32°C
N +16 to +32°C
ST +16 to +38°C
T +16 to +43°C

Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation!
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the
compressor will run more frequently
and for longer periods. This will
result in increased energy
consumption and a higher operating
temperature of the compressor. This,
in turn, can result in damage to the
compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps. The ventilation gaps
must not be covered or blocked in
any way.
Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm.
Fitting the supplied wall spacers
The wall spacers supplied must be
used in order to achieve the stated
energy consumption values and to
prevent the build-up of condensation
at high ambient temperatures.
Appliance depth is increased by
approx. 15mm with the wall spacers
fitted. If the wall spacers are not used,
the functionality of the appliance is not
affected. However, energy
consumption is slightly increased with
less distance between the appliance
and the wall.
Fit the wall spacers onto the back of
the refrigeration appliance on the
bottom left and right.

Limiting the opening angle of the
door
The door hinges are set at the factory to
enable the door to be opened up to
115°. If the appliance door hits an
adjacent wall when opened, for
example, the opening angle can be
limited toapprox. 90°:
The door opening angle limiter should
be fitted before the refrigeration
appliance is installed.
Fitting the door opening angle limiter
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
switch off the mains circuit breaker.
–Removing the soft-close
mechanism
Open the appliance door.
Slide off the right outer cover.
Remove cover from the door hinge
and cover from the soft-close
mechanism.
Click the red safety device
(supplied with the appliance) into
place in the opening.
The safety device prevents the soft-
close mechanism and the hinge plate
from snapping shut.
Do not remove the red safety device
until instructed to do so.
Push the pin out of the door
hinge and remove it.
Move the hinged arm of the soft-
close mechanism away from the door
hinge.

Undo and remove the screw on
the soft-close mechanism and
insert a screwdriver behind the soft-
close mechanism.
Remove the soft-close
mechanism.
–Fitting the door opening angle
limiter
Press a door opening angle limiter
in from above and below as shown.
–Fitting the soft-close mechanism
Insert the soft-close mechanism
on the door hinge side (at an angle
initially) until it clicks into position.
Then press the other end of the soft-
close mechanism into the opening.
Secure the soft-close mechanism
with the screw.
Push the hinged arm into the
opening on the door hinge.
Insert the pin into the door hinge
from above. Turn this with a
screwdriver (by approx. ¼ turn) until
both lugs on the pin click into
position correctly in the grooves.
Pull out the red safety device.
Useful tip: Keep the red safety device
in case you want to change the door
hinging again at a later date.

Slide on the outer cover.
Close the appliance door.
If you intend to install your appliance
side by side with another refrigeration
appliance, please ensure that you
observe the instructions in “Installation
in a side-by-side combination”. The
necessary installation parts are
supplied with your appliance.

Installation
Two people are required for
installing the appliance.
The appliance must be empty to
be installed.
Move the appliance carefully on
floors that are sensitive to scratching
to prevent damage.
For easier installation there are
transport handles on the back at the
top and transport wheels underneath
the appliance.
Prepare the appliance for installation
as close as possible to its intended
installation location.
Connect the appliance to the
electricity supply as described in
“Electrical connection”.
Move the appliance carefully to its
intended installation location.
Position the appliance with the wall
spacers (if used) or the back close to
the wall.
Aligning the appliance
To align the appliance, adjust the
front feet using the spanner supplied.

Supporting the appliance door
Risk of damage and danger of
injury due to the appliance door
swinging open or the refrigeration
appliance tipping over.
If the additional adjustable foot on
the lower hinge plate is not sitting
correctly on the floor, the appliance
door may swing open or the
refrigeration appliance may tip over.
Ensure that you unscrew the
adjustable foot with the supplied
spanner until it sits on the floor.
Then unscrew it by a further quarter
turn.
Installing the appliance in existing
kitchen units
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation!
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the
compressor will run more frequently
and for longer periods. This will
result in increased energy
consumption and a higher operating
temperature of the compressor. This,
in turn, can result in damage to the
compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps. The ventilation gaps
must not be covered or blocked in
any way.

* The appliance depth is increased by
approx. 15 mm for appliances with
wall spacers fitted.
The appliance can be built into a run of
kitchen units and installed directly next
to a kitchen furniture unit. The
appliance front must protrude in front of
furniture fronts by at least 65mm. This
enables the doors to be opened and
shut without being obstructed. To
match the height of the kitchen units in
the run, the appliance can be fitted with
a suitable top box.
When installed next to a wall a
distance of at least 40mm must be
maintained on the hinge side between
the wall and the appliance.
The larger the ventilation gap, the
more economically the compressor
will work.
- A ventilation gap of at least 50mm
depth must be provided at the back
of the appliance behind the whole
width of the top box for air to
circulate.
- The ventilation gap under the ceiling
must be at least 300cm2 to ensure
that the warm air can escape
unhindered.

Installation in a side-by-side
combination
To avoid a build-up of condensation
and resulting damage, refrigerators
and freezers should not generally be
installed directly next to other such
appliances (side by side). Your
appliance has side wall heating and
can therefore be installed side by side
with another refrigeration appliance.
Risk of damage!
The assembled side-by-side
combination is very heavy. Incorrect
moving of the combination can
cause the appliances to become
dented.
Please observe the following notes
when moving a side-by-side
appliance combination.
It is essential that all installation work
is carried out by two people.
All fixings required for side-by-side
installation are supplied with the
appliance:
