Installing the appliance

Have a technician install and connect the appliance according to the enclosed installation instructions.

,WARNING:

Do not install this appliance:

■outdoors,

■in an environment with dripping water,

■in rooms where there is a risk of frost.

Transporting

The appliances are heavy and must be secured during transportation and installation.

Because of the weight/dimensions of the appliance and to minimise the risk of injuries and damage

to the appliance at least two persons are necessary to set-up the appliance securely.

Installation location

A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation location. The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances from the heat source:

■to electric or gas cookers 11/4” (3 cm).

■to an oil or coal-fired cooker 1113/16” (30 cm).

The floor of the installation location must not give way; if required, reinforce floor. To ensure that the ice maker functions correctly, the appliance must be upright.

Ventilation

The refrigeration unit is ventilated only via the ventilation grille in the base. Never cover

the ventilation grille or place anything in front of it. Otherwise the refrigeration unit must work harder, increasing the power consumption.

a qualified electrician or service technician.

The socket must be near the appliance and also freely accessible following installation of the appliance.

The appliance complies with protection class I. Connect the appliance to 115 V/60 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed socket with protective conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.

The appliance comes with a UL registered 3-wire power cord. The appliance requires a 3-pole socket.

Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or

in mountain lodges) which are not connected directly to the national grid.
