Installation instructions
Before installation of your appliance
The placement of the appliance must meet
the requirements in the section
Operating
conditions
on page 9 and must include a
stable floor with a load-bearing capacity
corresponding to the weight of the
appliance.
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 sufficient circulation
of air. This will ensure the optimal
performance of the cooling system.
Check whether any coolant circulation
pipes have been damaged during
installation.
NOTE: For free standing installation, allow at least 4” of clearance at the back, sides
and top of the unit to permit the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and
condenser. Even for built-in installation, you should provide the following clearances
to ensure the best operation and proper ventilation: 3/16” on both sides, 2” at the
rear and 1/16” at the top. Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is
never covered or blocked in any way.
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
effective operation of your appliance.
If possible, place the appliance in a cool,
well-ventilated and dry area.
Do not locate the appliance in direct
sunlight or in a room with a high ambient
temperature, or in the vicinity of any
sources of direct heat, such as a radiator or
oven. This would cause the compressor to
work harder, resulting in a substantially
higher power consumption level.
