grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized
products service center.
To ensure proper electrical connection, follow the recommendations given in
the present manual.
Unpack the appliance and visually check that it is not damaged. Do not
connect a damaged appliance. Inform your retailer or point of sale of any
damage. In such a case, keep the packaging.
It is recommended that the appliance be allowed to settle for at least 24
hours before connecting the electrical power supply, so that the compressor
fluid feed is correct.
Proper air circulation is necessary to avoid overheating. To ensure sufficient
ventilation, observe the installation recommendations provided.
In order to avoid fire risk, wherever possible, ensure that the appliance is not
in contact with walls or with any hot element (compressor, condenser).
Observe the installation recommendations.
The appliance should not be placed close to radiators or cooking hot plates
or gas rings.
Check that electrical sockets remain accessible when the appliance is
installed.
When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or
damaged.
Power saving
To limit the electricity consumption of your appliance:
Install it in an appropriate place (see “Installation instructions”).
Leave the doors open as little time as possible.
To ensure that the appliance operates properly, clean the condenser
regularly (see “Maintenance”).
Regularly inspect the door seals and ensure that they are still closing
properly. If this is not the case, contact your after-sales service.
