NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to work properly.
•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, the appliance can be used in different temperature conditions.
•The climate class is specified on the nameplate of the fridge, which is positioned in the bottom lefthand corner of the body of the refrigerator.
•Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
•To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2" (12.70 mm) space on each side. Allow 3" (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1" (25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and the wall. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at the back for the water line connections.
•If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.
•Level the refrigerator. See “3.3 Positioning and levelling the appliance”.
