Before operating your
refrigerator
Before starting to use your refrigerator
check the following:
1. Is the interior of the refrigerator dry
and can the air circulate freely in the
rear of it?
2. Insert the 2 plastic wedges onto the
rear ventilation as illustrated in the
following figure. Unscrew the existing
ones and use the screws given in the
same bag of wedges. Plastic wedges
will provide the required distance
between your refrigerator and the wall
in order to allow the air circulation.
Electric connection
Connect your refrigerator to a
grounded socket which is being
protected by a fuse with the
appropriate capacity.
Important:
• The connection must be in
compliance with national regulations.
• The power cable plug must be easily
accessible after installation.
• Voltage and allowable fuse protection
are specified in the “Technical
Specifications” section.
• The specified voltage must be equal
to your mains voltage.
• Extension cables and multiway plugs
must not be used for connection.
B
A damaged power cable must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
B The appliance must not be operated
before it is repaired! There is danger
of electric shock!
Disposing of the packaging
The packing materials may be
dangerous for children. Keep the
packing materials out of the reach
of children or dispose them of by
classifying them in accordance
with the waste instructions. Do not
dispose them of along with the normal
household waste.
The packing of your refrigerator is
produced from recyclable materials.
Disposing of your old
refrigerator
Dispose of your old machine without
giving any harm to the environment.
• You may consult your authorized
dealer or waste collection center of
your municipality about the disposal
of your refrigerator.
3. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as
recommended in the “Maintenance
and cleaning” section.
4. Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet.
When the door is open the respective
interior light will come on.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
even if the compressor is not running
and this is quite normal.
6. Front edges of the refrigerator may
feel warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
