Installation 
Installation location 
Install the appliance in a dry, well  
ventilated room. The installation location 
should neither be exposed to direct  
sunlight nor 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 observe 
the following minimum distances to  
a heat source: 
– 3 cm to an electric cooker.
– 30 cm to an oil or solid-fuel cooker.
The floor on which the appliance is to  
be installed must be rigid. If required, 
reinforce the floor. To ensure that the ice 
maker functions correctly, the appliance 
must be upright.  
Observe ambient temperature  
and ventilation 
The atmosphere grade is written on the  
identification plate. It states the room 
temperature within which the appliance  
can be operated. Ventilation 
Never cover the ventilation openings  
in the base panel. The cooling motor  
otherwise has to increase ist output,  
and this increases the electricity 
consumption.Fixing 
For secure installation, the appliance  
screwed to neighbouring kitchen 
furniture and/or units.  
It is very important therefore that all  
bordering furniture and/or units are fixed  
securely to the floor and/or walls.  
If making structural changes fix the 
appliance in place again corresponding 
to the the installation instructions. 
Installation surface 
A load-bearing base is necessary  
because of the heavy weight of the fully 
laden appliance.  
The weight of the appliance when fully  
loaded:  
– 45.7 cm appliance 250 kg
– 61.0 cm appliance 350 kg
– 76.2 cm appliance 425 kg
In case of doubt, consult an architect  
or structural engineer. 
Installing and connecting  
the appliance 
Caution
 
 
 
 
 
After installing the appliance, wait at  
least ½ hour until the appliance starts 
up. During transportation the oil in the  
compressor may have flowed into the  
refrigeration system. 
Before switching on the appliance for  
the first time, clean the interior of the 
appliance (see “Cleaning the appliance”, 
page 16).Electrical  
connection 
Do not use an extension lead or a multi- 
plug socket. 
The plug to secure the appliance must  
be freely accessible. Connect the  
appliance to a 220 –
240 V/50 Hz ac 
current via a plug which has been  
properly installed. The socket must be  
fused with a 10 A fuse or higher. 
For appliances operated in non- 
European countries, the identifi-
cation plate should be checked  
whether the electric supply and the  
current model stated match the vales 
of the mains supply. The rating plate 
is situated in the bottom left-hand 
side of the appliance. Any necessary  
exchanging of the mains lead should  
carried out by a specialist electrician.  Warning
Never connect the appliance to  
electronic energy saver plugs or to 
power inverters which convert the 
direct current to 230 V alternating  
current (e.g. solar equipment,  
power supplies on ships).
