Installation

Choosing the location

In order to ensure that heat dissipates rapidly and 
that  the  refrigerator  operates  efficiently,  with  low 
energy  consumption,  we  recommend  leaving  the 
following  minimum  distances  between  the 
refrigerator and the walls and ceiling:

Top: 30cm
Sides: 20cm
Door side: 30cm
Back: 10cm

Check to be sure that there is enough space in front 
of the refrigerator to open the door (160°).

Install  the  refrigerator  in  a  well-ventilated  area, 
away from direct sunlight and from heat sources, 
such  as  ovens  and  burners,  from  inflammable 
materials, and from areas where water is frequently 
used, such as sinks.

Do not install the refrigerator outdoors.

Outside

Clean  the  outside  of  the  refrigerator  with  a  damp 
cloth dipped in warm water and mild soap.
Once  every  6  months,  clean  the  back  of  the 
refrigerator with a vacuum cleaner or a duster.  The 
dust that accumulates there interferes with proper 
functioning of the condenser, and therefore of the 
refrigerator, leading to higher energy consumption.  
Disconnect the refrigerator before cleaning and do 
not touch the condenser or the compressor, as they 
may be hot.
The drainage tray should be cleaned at least once a 
year.
Water  will  enter  the  refrigerator  if  the  drainpipe 
becomes blocked; if this happens, disassemble the 
light protector and wash out the drain pipe.

Door Seals

The rubber door seals should be carefully cleaned 
with a damp cloth.  Rinse and dry them carefully to 
avoid damage.

Substituting the Light

Before  changing  the  light,  first  unplug  the 
refrigerator, otherwise you may receive an electric 
shock or be injured.

1.  

Remove the screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

2. 

Remove  the  lamp  cover  by  gently  turning  it 

downwards.

3.  

Unscrew the lamp.

4. 

Place a new 10 W refrigerator bulb of the same 
type and size.

5.  

Replace light cover and screws.
