Installation
Take utmost care when handling your
appliance so as not to cause any damages to
the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid
leakages.
• During normal operation, the condenser and
compressor at the back of the appliance heat up
considerably. Always ensure that there is adequate
ventilation as a failure to do this will result in
component failure and possible food loss. See
installation instructions.
•
Important:
if the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a special cord or assembly availa-
ble from the manufacturer or its service agent.
Positioning
• Unpack the cabinet and check that it is in good
condition and free of any transport damage.
• Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and
heat sources.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to
direct sunlight.
• For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be
as shown in Fig.
Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of
obstruction.
• It is necessary that the niche is provided with a
conduct of venti-lation having the following
dimensions:
Depth 50 mm
Width 540 mm
The climate classification can be found on the rating
plate, which is located inside the cabinet on the left
hand wall.

Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and
frequency shown on the serial number plate
correspond to your domestic power supply.
Voltage can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage.
For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized
auto-transformer must be used.
Important
The appliance must be earthed.
The power supply cable plug is provided with a
contact for this purpose.
If the domestic power supply socket is not
earthed. connect the appliance to a separate
earth in compliance with current regulations,
consulting a specialist technician.
The Manufacturer declines all
responsibility if the above safety
precautions are not observed.
This appliance complies with the following E.E.C.
Directives.
Attention!
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance
from the mains power supply; the plug must
therefore be easily accessible after installation.
