2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION
If the appliance is transported in a horizontal position, the oil from the compressor may leak into the
cooling circuit. For this reason, allow the appliance to rest in a vertical position for 12 hours before
turning it on, so that the oil flows back into the compressor.
Remove the external packaging, remove the protective plastic film from the surface of the appliance (if
used) and clean the external parts of the appliance with a cleaner designed for this purpose. Do not use
steel wool or any coarse agents, which could irreparably damage the surface of the appliance.
IMPORTANT
For built-
in installation, certain clearances are necessary for optimal operation.In this case,allow 2.5mm(1/8”) on
left and right sides, 30-
50mm(1”- 2 1/8”) at the rear and 5mm(1/6”) at the top to ensure proper ventilation.
Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.
BEFORE INSTALLATING OF YOUR APPLIANCE
•
The placement of the appliance must meet the requirements in the section operating
conditions and must include a stable floor with a load-bearing capacity corresponding to the
weight of the appliance.
•
Level the appliance using the adjustable feet. Ensure there is a gap between the bottom
edge of the appliance and the ground, so that there is sufficient circulation of air. This will
ensure the optimal performance of the cooling system.
•
Check whether any coolant circulation pipes have been damaged during the installation.
•
Use the appliance only for the purposes for which it has been designed.
•
The appliance must be located on a rigid and even surface. In this way you will ensure free
circulation of the coolant and effective operation of your appliance.
•
If possible, place the appliance in a cool, well ventilated and dry room.
•
Do not locate the appliance in direct sunlight or in a room with a high ambient temperature,
or in the vicinity of any sources of direct heat, such as a radiator or oven. This would cause
the compressor to work harder, resulting in a substantially higher power consumption level.
