INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
It's important that you read all through this handbook
before installing and using your new refrigerator.
SAFETY NOTE:
If this refrigerator is replacing a larger
one which is going to be scrapped, remove the door
before disposal to prevent children from becoming
trapped inside.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The refrigerator is equipped with an electrically heated
absorption cooling until which is virtually silent in
operation. The fridge is designed for free-standing
installation, but can be built-in if the following conditions
are complied with to ensure satisfactory operation and
maximum cooling efficiency.
1) The fridge must be level in both directions.
2) There must be an air duct at the back of the housing
to provide sufficient air-flow over the cooling unit to
carry away heat generated during the cooling
process. The entire cooling unit should project into the
duct and the air passing through the duct must not be
preheated by radiators, T.V. sets or any other sources
of heat. Two refrigerators should not be built-in, one
on top of the other, unless separate air ducts are
provided for each.
3) When built-in, for future servicing requirements, it
must be possible for the refrigerator to be easily
removed, without damaging the fitment in which it is
housed.
The illustrations on page 59 show four different ways of
building-in the refrigerator.
During installation, please ensure the mains plug is
accessible at all times.
With the refrigerator standing on a shelf - Figure 2
The opening at the back for the passage of air must be at
least
105 mm deep
. This can be achieved by using
105 mm spacers at the rear of the shelf, leaving an 105
mm opening immediately under the cooling unit.
Alternatively, the shelf can be supported on battens at the
sides, screwed to adjacent fitments, or on legs, leaving a
completely unobstructed opening underneath the cooling
unit for the full width of the refrigerator, allowing maximum
air-flow.
If a ventilation grill is fitted at the top, it must have a
free
space of at least 200 cm
2
for the ventilating air to escape
.
With the refrigerator built into a housing - Figs 3,4 and 5
The ventilation duct at the back of the recess must be
at
least 105 mm deep and extend the full width of the
refrigerator - 425 mm minimum.
If the inlet and/or outlet openings at the bottom and top of
the duct are fitted with decorative grilles, the free space
through each grille must not be less than 200 cm
2
so that
the air-flow is not restricted.
Door hang and outer door panel
The chosen position for your fridge may make it
preferable to change over the door hinges to reverse the
door hang. To do this, refer to page 20.
If you wish the outer door panel can be removed and
replaced by another to match existing decor in your room.
Instructions for doing this are also given on page 20.
Connecting to the mains
The refrigerator must only be connected to the electricity
supply using an earthed socket outlet, installed in
accordance with local regulations. Before connecting the
refrigerator, check from the data label inside the cabinet
that the voltage agrees with your mains supply.
