The warmth created by the evapor-ator is used to prevent condensation.The floor of the refriger-ator section is wet.The condensate drain hole is blocked.0003Clean the condensate channel and drain hole. 
						

							Noises42NormalnoisesWhat causes themBrrrrr ...A humming noise is made by the motor (compressor). This noisecan get louder for brief periods when the motor switches on.Blubb,blubb ...A gurgling noise can be heard when coolant is circulatingthrough the pipes.Click ...Clicking sounds are made when the thermostat switches themotor on and off.Crack ...A cracking sound can be heard when materials expand insidethe appliance.Remember that the noise of the compressor and the coolant circulating in thesystem is unavoidable.NoisesCause and remedyRattling, vi-bratingThe appliance is uneven.

							Electrical connection44The appliance is supplied with a powercable and moulded plug ready for con-nection to an AC 230 V 50 Hz supply.The fuse rating must be at least 10 A(13 A in the UK).This appliance must be connected to asuitable switched socket which is easilyaccessible. The electrical connectionmust comply with current local and na-tional safety regulations (BS 7671 in theUK).The accessibility of the plug must al-ways be ensured in order to be able toquickly separate the appliance from themains.If the mains socket is not accessibleafter the appliance has been built in, aseparator for each terminal must bepresent. There must be an all-pole con-tact gap of at least 3 mm in the switch(including switch, fuses and relays ac-cording to EN 60335).The plug and mains connection cablemust not come into contact with theback of the appliance as vibrations cancause damage to these components.This, in turn, could result in a short cir-cuit.Do not plug in other appliances behindthis appliance.
Do not connect the appliance to themains electricity supply by an extensionlead. Extension leads do not guaranteethe required safety of the appliance(e.g. danger of overheating).Do not connect the appliance to an in-verter such as those used with anautonomous energy source e.g. solarpower. When switched on, peak loadsin the system can cause the safetyswitch-off mechanism to be triggered.This can damage the electronic unit. The appliance must not be used withso-called energy-saving deviceseither. These reduce the amount of en-ergy supplied to the appliance, causingit to overheat.If the mains cable needs to be replacedthis must be done by a suitably quali-fied person. 
						

							Installation45Fire risk and danger of damage!Appliances which give off heat, suchas toasters, mini-ovens or doubleburner hobs, can catch fire.Do not place them on top of this re-frigeration appliance.
This refrigeration appliance mustnot be installed next to ("side-by-side") or on top of another refrigera-tion appliance as it does not have asuitable heater. This type of installation could causea build up of condensation betweenthe two appliances! Contact yoursupplier for advice about this type ofinstallation.
LocationThis appliance should not be installedwhere it is exposed to direct sunlight ordirectly adjacent to a heat-producingappliance such as an oven or a radiator.The higher the ambient temperature ofthe room, the longer the compressorwill run for and the higher the energyconsumption. The appliance should beinstalled in a dry, well ventilated room.When installing the appliance, pleasebe aware:
–The socket must be easily accessiblein an emergency, not concealed be-hind the appliance.–The plug and cable must not touchthe back of the appliance as theycould get damaged by vibrationsfrom the appliance.
–Do not plug in other appliances be-hind this appliance. In environments with high hu-midity condensation can build up onthe external appliance panels.This can lead to corrosion of thepanels.For prevention, it is advisable to in-stall the appliance with sufficientventilation in a dry and/or air condi-tioned room.After installation make sure that theappliance door closes properly, thespecified ventilation gaps have beenadhered to and that the appliancehas been installed in accordancewith these installation instructions. 
						

							Installation46Climate rangeThe appliance is designed for use withina certain climate range (ambient tem-peratures) and should not be used out-side this range. The climate range of theappliance is stated on the data plate in-side the appliance.
Climate rangeAmbient roomtemperatureSN+10 to +32 °CN+16 to +32 °CST+16 to +38 °CT+16 to +43 °C
Operating in a room which is too coldwill cause the compressor to switch offfor too long, causing the internal tem-perature in the appliance to rise with therisk of food deteriorating and going off.VentilationAir at the back of the appliance getswarm.
To ensure efficient ventilation theventilation gaps must not be coveredor blocked in any way. They shouldbe dusted on a regular basis.
Appliances supplied with wallspacersThe wall spacers supplied with someappliances must be used in order toachieve declared energy consumptionvalues. Appliance depth is increasedby approx. 35 mm with the wallspacers fitted. If the wall spacers arenot used the functionality of the appli-ance is not affected. Energy consump-tion is only slightly increased with lessdistance between the appliance andthe wall.
0003Fit the wall spacers onto the back ofthe appliance on the top left andright.  
						

							Installation47InstallationTwo people are required for in-stalling the appliance.The appliance must be emptybefore it is moved.0003Do not under any circumstancesremove the pouches (depending onmodel) located between the back ofthe appliance and the metal grille(heat exchanger). They are requiredfor the correct functioning of the ap-pliance. The contents are not poison-ous or dangerous.
0003Release the mains cable from theback of the appliance.0003Remove the cable clip from the backof the appliance.0003Check that all parts at the back of theappliance are unhindered. Carefullyremove any hindrance.0003Carefully push the appliance into po-sition.0003Position the appliance with the wallspacers (if fitted) or the back of theappliance against the wall.Aligning the appliance0003To align the appliance, adjust thefront feet using the spanner supplied  
						

							Installation48Building the appliance into akitchen runIf the ventilation gaps given arenot observed, the compressor willrun more frequently and for longerperiods.This will result in increased energyconsumption and a higher operatingtemperature for the compressor. Thismay, in turn, cause damage to thecompressor.It is essential to observe the ventila-tion gaps given.
0001Top box0002Appliance0003Housing unit0004Wall* The appliance depth is increased byapprox. 35 mm for appliances withwall spacers fitted.The appliance can be built into a kit-chen run and installed directly next to akitchen furniture housing unit. The frontof the appliance will protrude in front offurniture fronts by 34 mm* at the sidesand by 55 mm* in the middle. This en-ables the door to be opened and shutwithout being obstructed. To align theheight of the appliance with adjoiningkitchen units a suitable top box 0004 canbe installed above it.When installed next to a wall 0006 a dis-tance of at least 50 mm is required onthe hinge side between the wall 0006 andthe appliance 0005 so that there is enoughroom for the handle when the door isopen.
The larger the ventilation gap, themore economically the compressorwill work.–A ventilation gap of at least 50 mmdepth must be provided at the backof the appliance behind the wholewidth of the top box for air to circu-late.
–The cross-section of the air inlet andoutlet under the ceiling must be atleast 300 cm2 to ensure that air cancirculate without obstruction.
