Installation
climate class displayed on the infor-
mation label. We do not recommend
operating your appliance out of the
stated temperature limits in terms of
cooling effectiveness.
Important installation instructions
This appliance is designed to work
in difficult climate conditions and is
powered with ‘Freezer Shield’ technol-
ogy which ensures that the frozen food
in the freezer will not defrost even if
the ambient temperature falls as low as
-15 °C. So you may then install your
appliance in an unheated room without
having to worry about frozen food
in the freezer being spoilt. When the
ambient temperature returns to normal,
you may continue using the appliance
as usual.

6.3 Installation warnings
Before using your appliance for the first
time, please pay attention to the follow-
ing points:
• The operating voltage for your appli-
ance is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• The plug must be accessible after
installation.
• Your appliance may have an odour
when it is operated for the first time.
This is normal and the odour will fade
when your appliance starts to cool.
• Before connecting your appliance,
ensure that the information on the
data plate (voltage and connected
load) matches that of the mains
electricity supply. If in doubt, consult
a qualified electrician.
• Insert the plug into a socket with an
efficient ground connection. If the
socket has no ground contact or the
plug does not match, we recommend
you consult a qualified electrician for
assistance.
• The appliance must be connected
with a properly installed fused socket.
The power supply (AC) and voltage
at the operating point must match
with the details on the name plate
of the appliance (the name plate is
located on the inside left of the appli-

for any damages that occur due to
ungrounded usage.
• Place your appliance where it will not
be exposed to direct sunlight.

cm away from stoves, gas ovens and
heater cores, and at least 5 cm away
from electrical ovens.
• If your appliance is placed next to a
deep freezer, there must be at least 2
cm between them to prevent humidity
forming on the outer surface.
• Do not place heavy items on the

• Clean the appliance thoroughly be-
fore use (see Cleaning and Mainte-
nance).
