INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
This unit can be installed as either built-in or free-standing unit. 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. For built-in installation, certain clearances are necessary for
optimal operation. In this case, allow 1/4” on both sides, 2” at the rear and 1/4” at the top to ensure
proper ventilation. Make sure that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or
blocked in any way.
BEFORE INSTALLATING OF YOUR APPLIANCE
The placement of the appliance must meet the requirements in the section operating
conditions 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 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 effective operation of your appliance.
If possible, place the appliance in a cool, well ventilated and dry room.
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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 115 Volt (AC only) 60 Hz grounded electrical supply equipped with a 15- or 20- amp fuse or circuit
breaker is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be
provided. Use outlets that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Connect this appliance to a
3-prong power supply outlet that has a ground terminal. If you only have a 2-prong outlet, have it
replaced by a qualified technician with an outlet that meets the local codes. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD. Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate. The
connection to the power supply and grounding has to be made according to current local standards
and regulations.
BUILT-IN INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS (MM/IN)
