Installation.

WARNING: THE APPLIANCE SHOULD ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN COMPLIANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CURRENT STAN- DARDS AND REGULATIONS.

Before Fitting:

Before connecting to the electricity supply leave the appliance to stand for 2 hours to allow the cooling system to settle.

Please read through this section before starting any work.

Choosing a location:

The power socket should be in a readily accessible position, adjacent to the Fridge Freezer.

Place the Fridge Freezer in a dry and regu- larly ventilated room.

Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is stated on the rating plate.

In case the Fridge Freezer is exposed to temperatures lower than +16°C, the opera- tion of the refrigerator is normal, yet the temperature in the freezer compartment is raised, which shortens the storage time of frozen foods. Your Fridge Freezer has an integrated switch for intensive cooling, refer to instructions in the Controls section (page 7).

Never place the Fridge Freezer near heat emitting devices (eg. cooker, radiator, water heater or similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight. In such a posi- tion your Fridge Freezer will have to work harder and will cost more to run and could be damaged by the heat.

Ensure that you provide adequate air circulation around the Fridge Freezer. Behind, there should be at least 200cm2 of free space and any units positioned above the Fridge Freezer should be at least 5cm away.

Placing the Fridge Freezer:

Place the Fridge Freezer on a solid base. Some have adjustable feet at the front, use them to level the Fridge Freezer.

Two spacers supplied with the Fridge Freezer must be fitted onto the upper edge of the condenser, preventing the Fridge Freezer being installed too close to the wall. You will need to adjust both spacers depending on the distance of the condenser from the wall. To adjust, turn spacers accordingly and fix them to the condenser.

WARNING:

The appliance contains a small quantity of the enviromentally-friendly but flammable refrigerant R600a.

Ensure that the refrigeration tubing is not damaged during transportation and installation. Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries or ignite.

If refrigerant is leaking out:

-Avoid naked flames and ignition sources near the leakage.

-Unplug the appliance and ventilate the room for several minutes.

WARNING: KEEP VENTILATION OPEN-

INGS IN THE APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE, OR IN THE BUILT-IN STRUCTURE, CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTION.
