INSTALLATION

•

Install the appliance away from heat sources.

•

Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place.

•

Ensure that the appliance is level. Adjust the front feet if 

necessary.

•

Leave at least 5 cm clearance above the appliance.

•

The sides of some models are extended at the rear so the 

appliance can be placed directly against the rear wall. 

Otherwise, fit the spacers (if supplied) on the upper part of 

the condenser at the rear of the appliance. For models 

without spacer walls, the distance between the unit and the 

wall must be at least 4.5 cm.

•

Clean the inside (see the chapter “Care and Maintenance”).

•

Fit the accessories supplied.

Electrical connection

•

Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local 

regulations.

•

Ensure that the voltage indicated on the appliance data plate 

corresponds to the domestic supply voltage.

• Regulations require that the appliance is earthed. The 

Manufacturer declines all liabilities for injury to persons 

or damage to property resulting from failure to observe 

these regulations.

•

If the plug and socket are not of the same type, have the 

socket replaced by a qualified electrician.

•

Do not use extension cables, multiple sockets or adapters.

Disconnecting the appliance

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance by unplugging 

it or by means of a two-pole switch fitted upline of the socket.
