Location
The location for the placement of the appliance must meet the requirements in the paragraph "Operating
conditions" and must have a stable fl oor with a load bearing capacity corresponding to the weight of the
appliance.
Furthermore you must maintain distances and dimensions of the appliance, so that correct operation
is ensured:
1. Top part at least 20 cm;
2. Rear part at least 10 cm;
3. The wall on the side where the door opens at least 30 cm.
Level the appliance using the adjustable feet, ensure there is a gap between the bottom edge of the appliance
and the ground, so that there is suffi
cient circulation of the cooling air, by which you will ensure the optimal
performance of the cooling circuit.
Check whether any cooling circulation pipes have been damaged during the installation.

Use the appliance only for the purposes for which it has been designed.

The appliance must be located on a rigid and even surface.
In this way you will ensure free circulation of the coolant and eff ective operation of your appliance.

If possible, place the appliance into a cool, well ventilated and dry room.

Do not locate the appliance in direct sunlight, or in a room with a high temperature, in the vicinity of any
sources of direct heat, such as heating, an oven, a stove, etc. – this would mean that the compressor would
need to work a lot harder resulting a substantially higher power consumption level.
If it is not possible to prevent the installation in the vicinity of a heat source, we recommend the insertion of an
appropriate insulating board (do not use asbestos) between the appliance and the heat source; or at least to
maintain the following minimum distances:

From a gas or electric stove 3 cm;

From a heater or oven, etc. 30 cm;

From another cooling appliance 2 cm.
Do not place any appliances on the appliance, which release heat on to the appliance, such as microwave
ovens, toasters, etc.
Never cover the ventilation grill. Pull out the power plug by pulling on the plug itself, never pull on the cord
when disconnecting the appliance.
Before turning on the appliance allow it to stand in its fi nal location for 12 hours, the coolant circuit
will stabilise in this way and no operating problems will occur. Before connecting the appliance to the
power grid check that it is perfectly dry inside – especially in the corners.
Danger warning
The coolant may be highly fl ammable, depending on its composition. The coolant circuit was
hermetically closed and sealed and was tested many times for possible leaks. Any unqualifi ed
tampering with the product may cause a fi re hazard. Check that there is no mechanical interruption
or eff ect on the coolant circulation, namely in the accessible parts around the compressor.
Only professionally qualifi ed persons may work on the cooling system.
