Instructions for the Installer

3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

3.1 Choosing the site

Always place the refrigerator in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside the refrigerator compartment), the appliance can be used in different temperature conditions:

Class

Ambient temperature

SN (Subnormal)

from +10°C to +32°C

N (Normal)

from + 16° C to + 32° C

ST (Subtropical)

from

+ 18° C to + 38° C

T (Tropical)

from

+ 18° C to + 43° C

 

 

 

Never place the refrigerator close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems.

To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the refrigerator must not be placed too close to the wall. To prevent this, the appliance comes complete with two plastic spacers which must be fitted to the top of the condenser. If the refrigerator is installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm.

Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum. If necessary, when positioning slide the refrigerator over pieces of wood or a mat to the point decided for connection to the electrical mains.

3.2 Positioning and levelling the appliance

Place the fridge on a stable and level floor. In case the floor is not perfectly level, use the two adjustable feet on the front part of the fridge (pict. 1). To ensure major stability, easier movement and a correct positioning of the product, two additional wheels (pict. 2) are present at the rear. In any case we recommend to move the fridge very carefully in order to avoid floor damage (especially in case of wooden floor).

3.3 Electrical connection

Before switching the refrigerator on for the first time, leave it vertical for at least two hours. Then connect the appliance's power supply lead to a mains socket with earth contact, installed in accordance with electrical safety regulations. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate inside the refrigerator compartment. The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in compliance with the relevant regulations and requirements. The appliance is able to withstand short fluctuations in voltage of no more than 15% less or 10% more than the rated voltage stated on the nameplate. If the power supply lead has to be replaced, this operation must only be carried out by an authorised Smeg technical service engineer.

The socket must be accessible after the appliance has been placed.
