Danger of fire
Do not use electrical appliances

make sure that no oil or grease
leaks onto the plastic parts of the
appliance. This can cause the
plastic to crack and break.

WARNING! Risk of injury and

Do not use mechanical devices or

recommended by the manufacturer.

The refrigerator defrosts automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator when
the compressor is running. There is no
need to remove it, since it will
evaporate automatically with the
warmth generated by the compressor.
The condensate is drained away
through a channel and drain hole, then
fed into an evaporation system at the
back of the appliance.

It is important to keep the

condensate channel and drain hole
clean and free of blockages so that
the condensate can flow away
properly.

Ventilation
WARNING! Danger of damage from
overheating. May restrict operation.
Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.

The ventilation gaps given must be

observed, otherwise the compressor
will run more frequently and for
longer periods. This will result in
increased energy consumption and
a higher operating temperature for
the compressor. This may, in turn,
cause the compressor to be

circulate without obstruction.
– Important. The appliance uses less

Adjusting the door hinge
The door hinges are factory set so that
the door can be opened wide.
However if the opening angle of the
door needs to be limited for any reason,
the hinge can be adjusted to
accommodate this.
If, for instance, when it is opened the
appliance door would hit an adjacent
wall, you should limit the opening angle
of the appliance door to 90°:

^ Insert the limit pins provided into the

hinges from above.
This will limit the opening angle of the
appliance door to 90°.

 Changing the door hinging

Always change the door hinge with

the assistance of another person.

 Installing the appliance
^ Push the appliance two-thirds of the
way into the installation space.
Ensure that the power cord does not
get caught.
Tip to help you push it into position:
Tie a piece of string around the plug to
"increase" the length of the power cord.
Then pull the cord by the end of the
string through the housing unit. It will
then be easier to connect once the
appliance is in the unit.
