Installation instructions

9.2

Positioning the appliance and making sure it's level

Place the fridge on a stable and level floor. To compensate for uneven flooring and to allow greater
stability of the product, the refrigerator has two adjustable front legs (

1

). To ensure easier movement and

correct positioning of the appliance, four wheels are fitted (

2

). In any case, we recommend moving the

fridge very carefully in order to avoid damaging the floor (especially in the case of wooden floors).

The exterior of the appliance and internal accessories should be cleaned with a solution of water and
liquid soap; the inside of the appliance with baking soda dissolved in warm water. Replace all the
accessories after they have dried.

9.3

Electrical connection

Before switching the refrigerator on for the first time, leave it in a vertical position for at least two hours.
Connect the supply cable of the appliance to an earthed electrical socket, installed in accordance with
electrical safety standards. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate inside the
refrigerator compartment. The appliance must be connected to the power grid and earthed in accordance
with the applicable standards and requirements. Check that the voltage rating on the nameplate is the
same as the mains supply. If the supply cable needs to be changed, this procedure must only be carried
out by an 

authorised technician from Smeg's technical support service.

The plug must be accessible when the appliance is installed.
It is possible that you may detect a smell when the appliance is first switched on. This smell will fade when
the appliance begins to cool.
