[. . . ] energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore ­ not be exposed to direct sunlight; ­ not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; ­ only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed. The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: each climate classification: If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance: ­ for electric cookers 3 cm; ­ for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm. If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance. If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance. "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 refrigerator by maintaining adequate distances from heat sources and by the use of a suitable thermal insulation plate. Press the alarm button to turn off the alarm light There is an ice pack in one drawer of the freezer. In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by several hours.

The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming. If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the FROSTMATIC function after 52 hours.
