Installation of the Refrigerator
This appliance is designed to be free standing only and should not be recessed or built-in
(fully recessed).
Place the appliance on a flat surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
To level the appliance, adjust the levelling legs at the bottom of the unit.
Allow 125mm of space between the back and sides of the unit which allows sufficient air
circulation to cool the compressor.
Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform
properly.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, earthed wall outlet. Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or remove the third (earth) prong from the power cable. Any questions
concerning power and/or earthing should be directed to a certified electrician.
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before
placing items in the compartment.
Electrical Connection
This
unit
should
be
properly
earthed
for
safety
reasons.
To
minimi
s
e
the
possibility
of
electrical
shock,
the
power
cable
of
this
unit
is
equipped
with
a
three-prong
plug
which
fits
a
standard
three
prong
wall
outlet.
This
unit
requires
a
standard
220~240V
AC
~/50Hz
electrical
outlet
with
three-prong
earth.
Have
the
wall
outlet
and
circuit
checked
by
a
qualified
electrician
to
make
sure
the
outlet
is
properly
earthed.
When
a
standard
2-prong
wall
outlet
is
encountered,
it
is
your
responsibility
and
obligation
to
have
it
replaced
with
a
properly
earthed
3-prong
wall
outlet.
Under
no
circumstances
should
this
appliance
be
connected
to
a
2-prong
outlet.
To
prevent
accidental
injury,
the
cable
should
be
secured
behind
the
unit
and
not
left
exposed
or
dangling.
The
unit
should
always
be
plugged
into
its
own
individual
electrical
outlet
which
has
a
voltage
rating
that
matches
the
rating
label
on
the
appliance.
This
ensures
the
best
performance
and
prevents
overloading
of
circuits
that
could
cause
a
fire
hazard.
Never
unplug
the
unit
by
pulling
the
power
cable.
Always
grip
the
plug
firmly
and
pull
straight
out
from
the
receptacle.
Repair
or
replace
immediately
all
power
cables
that
have
become
frayed
or
otherwise
damaged.
Do
not
use
a
cable
that
shows
cracks
or
abrasion
damage
along
its
length
or
at
either
end.
When
moving
the
unit,
be
careful
not
to
damage
the
power
cable.
Extension Cable
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cable with this unit. However, if you must use an extension cable, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a 3-wire earthed type appliance extension cable with an earthed plug and outlet
and that the electrical rating of the cable is 220~240V / 13A.
Warning
Improper use of the earthed plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cable is
damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
