IMPORTANT!
This appliance must be left to
stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours
before being switched on for the first time.
•
Remove all packaging and securing tape from the
appliance.
•
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm
water containing a small amount of bicarbonate
soda (5ml to 0.5 litres of water).
•
Your appliance should never be used outdoors.
•
Position the appliance in a dry atmosphere and out
of direct sunlight.
•
Do not position next to a cooker or other sources of
heat, i.e. radiator.
•
If positioned next to another fridge or freezer, leave
a minimum gap of 2cm between the appliances in
order to avoid condensation.
•
A clearance of 150mm should be left above the ap-
pliance. If this cannot be achieved you should ensure
a clearance of 25mm is maintained on each side of
the appliance.
•
Please ensure that there is a small ‘air-gap’ between
the condenser on the rear of the appliance and the
rear wall.
•
Do not place or store heavy items on the top of this
appliance.
•
Ensure that the appliance is positioned on a firm flat
floor.
•
This appliance must be level. Adjust the level by
screwing the adjustable feet up or down (use your
fingers or a suitable spanner).
•
Ensure that the appliance is upright and both feet
are in firm contact with the floor so that the cabinet
is stable.
•
Connect the plug to an adjacent 13amp socket
outlet and ensure that the appliance is not standing
on the supply cable.
•
The appliance may give off an odour when it is
operated for thefirst time. This odour will fade away
as your fridge starts to cool.
