• Installed under the chest cover are the spacers that protect the cover gasket from transport
damage.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, let the appliance rest in a vertical position
for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of operation faults due to the effect of
transport on the cooling system.

warm water to which you have added some vinegar.
• The appliance must be connected to the power mains and grounded in compliance with the
effective standards and regulations.
