Installation
Space requirements
• Door opening:
Place the unit so there is
enough space for the door to open easily
(Fig. 1).
• Clearances:
Ensure that air can
circulate freely around the back of the
cabinet, which is necessary to cool the
compressor and condenser. Allow at
least 12cm clear space at the back and
5cm at the sides of the unit.
• Overhanging wall units:
To ensure best performance, if the appliance is positioned
below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the
cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 10cm. Ideally, however, the appliance
should not be positioned below overhanging wall units.
Levelling
The appliance must be installed level in order to work
properly. If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic
seal alignments will not be covered properly.
• To level the unit, adjust one or both levelling feet at
the front base of the cabinet (Fig. 2).
Electrical connection
•
WARNING!
It must be possible to disconnect the
appliance from the mains power supply; the plug
must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
•
Before plugging in your new fridge, let it stand
upright for at least 4 hours.
This will allow the refrigerant gases to settle into the
compressor and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.
• The appliance must be earthed. The plug of the power supply cord is equipped
with a contact for this purpose. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third (earth) prong from the power cord. If the plug does not fit your outlet, consult a
licensed electrician for advice to have the outlet changed.
• Plug the unit into a dedicated, properly installed and earthed wall outlet. Ensure
that your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on
the appliance rating label.
• Secure the power supply cord behind the unit. Do not leave it exposed or dangling
to prevent injury and accidental disconnection from the power supply.
• Adjust the temperature control as described on page 9.
•
When first starting up, and after a period out of use, allow the unit to cool
down on the MAX setting for at least 2 hours before placing food in the fridge.
