The power socket should be in a readily

accessible position, adjacent to the Fridge

Freezer.

Place the Fridge Freezer in a dry and regu-

larly ventilated room.

Allowed ambient temperature depends on

the model (class) of the appliance and is

stated on the rating plate. 

In case the Fridge Freezer is exposed to

temperatures lower than +16°C, the opera-

tion of the refrigerator is normal, yet the

temperature in the freezer compartment is

raised, which shortens the storage time of

frozen foods.  Your Fridge Freezer has an

integrated switch for intensive cooling, refer

to instructions in the Controls section (page

7).

Never place the Fridge Freezer near heat  

emitting devices (eg. cooker, radiator, water

heater or similar devices) and do not

expose it to direct sunlight.  In such a posi-

tion your Fridge Freezer will have to work

harder and will cost more to run and could

be damaged by the heat.

Ensure that you provide adequate air

circulation around the Fridge Freezer.

Behind, there should be at least 200cm

2

of

free space and any units positioned above

the Fridge Freezer should be at least 5cm

away.

Place the Fridge Freezer on a solid base.

Some have adjustable feet at the front, use

them to level the Fridge Freezer.

Two spacers supplied with the Fridge

Freezer must be fitted onto the upper edge

of the condenser, preventing the Fridge

Freezer being installed too close to the wall.

You will need to adjust both spacers

depending on the distance of the condenser

from the wall. To adjust, turn spacers

accordingly and fix them to the condenser.

The appliance contains a small quantity of

the enviromentally-friendly but flammable

refrigerant R600a.

Ensure that the refrigeration tubing is not

damaged during transportation and

installation.  Leaking refrigerant may cause

eye injuries or ignite.

If refrigerant is leaking out:

-  Avoid naked flames and ignition sources

near the leakage.

- Unplug the appliance and ventilate the 

room for several minutes.
