Installation
Positioning and connection
Proper installation of the appliance is essential to
ensure the best and most efficient performance
of your appliance.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and,
therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms
with less than perfect ventilation are not very suited
for installation of the appliance. Therefore, it should
be installed in a room with an opening (window
or French window) that provides the appropriate
amount of air recirculation. It is also important that
the room should not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or
obstruct the grates that allow proper ventilation of
the appliance.
For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must
leave:
– a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and
any cabinets above it;
– a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the
appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it
is directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook
top or the like.
Levelling
The floor should be perfectly levelled; if not, you can
adjust the feet at the front of the appliance.
Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or
freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and
baking soda. After having plugged the appliance in,
make sure that pilot lamp is light.
Set thermostat knob onto a medium position and
can place food in the fridge after only a few hours.
When the freezer has reached the optimum
temperature, you can place frozen food in the
freezer.
Earthing
Before making the electrical connection, check that
the voltage shown on the data plate, that you will
find on the bottom right hand side of the appliance
next to the crisper, corresponds to that of your mains
and that the socket is earthen in conformity with all
current electrical regulations. If the system is not
earthen, the manufacturer declines all liability for
consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters
or multiple sockets.
Check the power load
The electrical socket must support the maximum
power load of the appliance shown on the data plate
(on the bottom right hand side of the appliance next
to the crisper).
Before plugging the appliance to the mains
Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours
before plugging the appliance into the mains to
ensure proper performance.
