Section 1. Installation
-
IMPORTANT!
This appliance must be left to stand in an upright position for
at least 4 hours before being switched on for the first time.
-
Remove all packaging and securing tape from the appliance.
-
Wash the interior of the appliance with luke warm water containing a small
amount of bicarbonate soda (5ml to 0.5 litres of water).
-
Position the appliance in a dry atmosphere and out of direct sunlight.
-
This appliance should not be sited in a cold atmosphere, i.e. cellar, garage
or shed. Doing so may cause condensation to form on the exterior of the
unit. N.B. Condensation or related problems such as rust on exterior
panels are not covered under the manufacturers guarantee.
-
Do not position next to a cooker or other sources of heat, i.e. radiator.
-
If positioned next to another fridge or freezer, leave a minimum gap of
2cm between the appliances in order to avoid condensation.
-
A clearance of 50mm should be left above the appliance. If this cannot be
achieved you should ensure a clearance of 25mm is maintained on each
side of the appliance.
-
Please ensure that there is a small ‘air-gap’ between the condenser on the
rear of the appliance and the rear wall.
-
Do not place or store heavy items on the top of this appliance.
-
Ensure that the appliance is positioned on a firm flat floor.
-
This appliance must be level. Adjust the level by screwing the adjustable
feet up or down (use your fingers or a suitable spanner).
-
Ensure that the appliance is upright and both feet are in firm contact with
the floor so that the cabinet is stable.
-
Connect the plug to an adjacent 13amp socket outlet and ensure that the
appliance is not standing on the supply cable.
N.B. If you site this appliance in a garage, out-building or a cold
room where the ambient temperature may fall below 6 to 8 degrees
C, condensation may form on the outer cabinet and ‘pool’ under the
appliance. This is quite normal and does not indicate that there is a
fault with the appliance.
To prevent condensation building up on the outer cabinet ensure that
the ambient temperature is above 8 degrees C.
