Installation
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to reduce energy consumption, it is important that the appliance is installed correctly.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the appli- ance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with an open- ing (window or French window) that provide the appropriate amount of air
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 appliance must be level. To level the appliance properly, first adjust the front plastic feet and then unscrew the foot situated beneath the lower door hinge until it adheres to the floor completely (Fig. 1).
Electrical Connection and Earthing
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the bottom left near the vegetable crisper, corresponds to the mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted with a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety standards for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with an earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be held liability for any dam- ages and or injuries arising out of the use of the appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access the socket where it is plugged in.
Insufficient power?
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.
Before making the electrical connection ...
After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions prop- erly.
