Your appliance must be installed in compliance with the instructions given in this
"Operating and installation instructions manual" in order to keep your food under
optimum conditions and with optimal energy consumption.
•
The appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
•
Avoid balconies, verandas, and patios:
the excessive heat in summer and the
cold in winter could prevent your ap-
pliance from functioning properly, or
may even damage it.
•
Do not place your appliance near a heat
source such as an oven or radiator.
•
Your appliance has been designed for
optimum functioning at a certain am-
bient temperature; it is designed for a
particular "climate class". This climate
class is clearly indicated on the identi-
fication plate situated on the inside of
your appliance, low down on the left
wall. Outside of this temperature ran-
ge, the performance of your appliance
may be reduced
.
•
Leave a minimum distance between your
refrigerator and your other units of 3 to
5cm at the sides and 10cm at the top, to
maximise air circulation around the ap-
pliance.
•
Position the appliance at a suitable dis-
tance from the wall using the spacers
provided in the accessories packet. The
spacers should be mounted on the back
of the appliance (see Drawing).
Once you have installed your appliance, adjust its feet so that it is tilting backwards slightly:
this helps the door to close correctly.
Before placing any food in your appliance, clean it inside and out with a bicarbo-
nate of soda solution (1 dessertspoon of bicarbonate to 4 litres of water). Do not
use alcohol, scouring powder or detergents, which could damage the surfaces.
See the section on "Cleaning your Appliance".
