8.Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal, remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent chil- dren who might play in or around the appliance from being locked inside.

9.Before calling for service/assistance in the case of malfunc- tion, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem? to de- termine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem. do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal com- ponents of the appliance.

INSTALLATION

Proper installation of the appliance is essential to en- sure the best and most efficient performance of your appliance.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and, there- fore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with an opening (window or French window) that provide the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important that the room not be too humid.

During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance. For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave:

-a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and any cabinets above it;

-a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.

Levelling

The floor should be perfectly level; if not, you can adjust the feet at the front of the appliance.

Earthing

Before making the electrical connection, check that the volt- age shown on the data plate, that you will find on the bot- tom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper, cor- responds to that of your home and that the socket is earthed in compliance with all current electrical regulations. If the system is not earthed, the manufacturer declines all liability for consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or multiple sockets.

Position the appliance in such a way that you can access the socket where it is plugged in.

Check the power load

The electrical socket must support the maximum power load of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper).

Before plugging the appliance to the mains

Stand the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper per- formance.
