Your refrigerator should be installed at
least 30 cm away from heat sources
such as hobs, ovens, central heaters
and stoves and at least 5 cm away from
electrical ovens and should not be
located under direct sunlight.

refrigerator and the wall in order to allow for free
air circulation.

switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached.
