14. INTRODUCTION

To ensure satisfactory operation, it is essential that the refrigerator is installed and used as directed in this instruction booklet. The ventilation openings above and below the refrigerator must not be reduced in size or obstructed in any way otherwise the performance of the cooling unit may be impaired.

Levelling

When the refrigerator is operating, liquid refrigerant trickles theough the pipework of the cooling unit under the influence of gravity. To enable a satisfactory flow to take place, the unit must be reasonably level, from side to side and from front to back, otherwise refrigerant can accumulate in pockets instead of flowing back to the bottom, and the cooling process may be impaired or cease.
