• Appliance installation should be carried out by at least two
people to avoid any personal injury or damage to the
appliance.
• The appliance must stand level or tilted slightly to the back. It
should be stable and placed a solid base. At the front, the
appliance is fitted with two adjustable feet that can be used to
level the appliance. At the rear side, casters allow for easier installation of the appliance (only
with some models).
• After you have levelled the appliance using the adjustable feet, adjust the additional foot for extra
stability of the appliance.
• There should be a clearance of at least 5 cm between the appliance and any cupboard installed
above it, in order to allow adequate cooling of the condenser unit.
• Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight and do not place it near sources of heat. If this
cannot be avoided, install an insulation panel.
Electrical Connection
Connect the appliance to the power main using the supplied power cord. The wall outlet should be
fitted with a ground contact (safety socket). Nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the
rating label with basic information on the appliance.
The appliance must be connected to the power mains and grounded in compliance with the effective
standards and regulations. The appliance will withstand short-term deviations from the nominal
voltage, but not more than +/- 6%.
Reversing the Door Swing of your Appliance
CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect your appliance from the main power source before reversing the
direction of the door swing.
If the appliance has to be tilted to allow access to parts on the bottom, ask another person for
assistance or gently place the appliance on some soft padding to prevent damaging it. To reverse
the opening direction, proceed as follows:
1.
Place the appliance in an upright position. Open the top door, and
remove the door racks (to prevent damaging them during this
procedure). Close the door.
2.
Remove the top hinge cap (1). Be particularly careful not to
damage the connector (A). Unplug the connector (A).
