Ð only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature
corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is
designed.
The climate classification can...

Installation
34
Installation directly under a hob is not allowed. The temperatures of
the hob, which in part are quite high, may damage the appliance. 
If a hob is installed near the appliance, the corresponding installation
and safety instructions must be adhered to. Considering the numerous
installation conditions which are possible, there is no way of providing
detailed information here. 
It is necessary to avoid overheating of the appliance by maintaining
adequate distances from heat sources and by...

Installation

after reversing the door, the door seal seals right round. A badly fitting
door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power
consumption (see also ãWhat to do if...Ò).

Electrical connection

From a food safety point of view, +5¡C for the refrigerator com-
partment and -18¡C for the freezer compartment should be con-
sidered cold enough as a storage temperature.

(approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate
the current ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will
change from flashing to continuous illumination.
