handles for lifting. To move the refrigerator on a flat level surface, tilt it slightly 
backwards and push backwards.

ensure there is adequate people

Installing and Switching on Your Appliance

Operating voltage for your appliance is 220-240V at 50Hz.

Before plugging in the power supply, ensure that the voltage on the rating label
corresponds to the working voltage of your electrical system in your home.

Insert the plug into an efficient Ground (Earth) connection. If the socket has no
Ground (Earth) contact or the plug does not match, we suggest you call an authorised
electrician for assistance.

Place your appliance in an area that is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Your appliance should be placed at least 10cm away from stoves, ovens and other
heating cores.

This appliance should never be used outdoors or left in the rain.

When your appliance is placed next to a chest freezer or freezer, there should be at
least 10cms between them to prevent humidity on the outer surface.

Do not place anything on your appliance and install the unit in a suitable place so that
there is at least 30cm clearance above the appliance.

If placing your appliance next to kitchen cabinets, leave 5cm between them.

The rear of the appliance should be at least 6cm away from the back wall.

The appliance must be used in the vertical position and on a flat surface.

To level the appliance ,use the adjustable feet on the appliance.

Do not place your appliance on a carpeted surface as this will prevent adequate
ventilation.
