Risk of damage!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■ Always ensure the prescribed ambi-
ent temperature is maintained (see
"Intended use" on page EN-4).
To prevent a flammable gas-air mixture from
forming following a leak in the refrigeration
circuit, the installation space must have a
minimum size of 1 m
in compliance with standard EN 378. That
equates to a minimum space of 3.5 m
