Avoid locating near anything which gives off heat, a cooker or radiator for example or in a position where sunlight is liable to shine directly onto the appliance. In such a position your appliance will have to work harder and will cost more to run and may be damaged by the heat.
If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate, or comply with the following minimum distances:
3cm to an electric cooker,
30cm to an oil or
If the appliance is installed next to another freezer or refrigerator, observe a minimum distance of 2cm between the appliances to prevent condensation.
Appliances with handles must be positioned 55mm, from the wall on the hinge side, so that the door can be opened by 90˚.
Make sure that the electrical socket is easily accessible, the best position is at the side of or above the appliance.
Air Circulation
The heated air must be able to escape through the rear of the appliance. If the air flow is obstructed, the refrigerating unit must work harder, which increases the power consumption. Therefore NEVER cover the ventilation slots.
Adjusting the Feet
Note: An unsteady appliance can cause problems.
The height adjustable feet have been fully screwed in at the factory. When installing the appliance use a screwdriver to adjust the feet. Unscrew the feet initially by 5mm, place the appliance in its final position and continue to adjust the feet until the appliance is standing firm and is level (use a spirit level to check).
Securing the Appliance
Once in its final position and level, the appliance must be fixed to the wall to prevent it from tilting forward.
●Place the metal lug (2) on the left or right side of the air grid and mark the fixing hole on the wall.
●Drill the hole and insert a wall plug (1).
●Insert the metal lug (2) into the air grid and screw to the wall (3).
(Size 5 wall plugs and screws are available from DIY stores).
