Installation
Stability bracket
WARNING: To prevent the fridge from tilting forwards,
it must be held in place with the stability bracket
supplied.
This is the responsibility of the customer.
Fixed to the floor or wall at the rear of the fridge, the
stability bracket hooks onto the compressor mounting
plate holding the fridge secure.
The stability bracket must be installed securely in
accordance with these instructions BEFORE using
the fridge.
Note: The fridge is heavy so care must be taken
when moving it.
1. Position the fridge in its chosen location.
2. Looking from the front of the fridge, mark the position
of the left hand panel.
3. Move the fridge far enough away to get clear access
to the back wall.
4. In order to clear components on the compressor
mounting plate, the stability bracket must be
positioned on the floor between 100 - 200mm to the
right of the left hand panel mark.
5. Mark and drill the fixing holes and insert suitable
fixings to hold the bracket firm.
6. Carefully re-position the fridge. Make sure that the
compressor mounting plate locates into the stability
bracket.
Position stability racket
100 - 200mm away from left
hand panel mark.

! Before placing your new appliance into operation
please read these operating instructions carefully. They
contain important information for safe use, for installation
and for care of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the
appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free
room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of
the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5
cm between the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat
(direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the
appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers
supplied in the installation kit, following the instructions
provided.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the
refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front feet.
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully place
it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it
to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the
electrical socket ensure the following:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located
on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
• The voltage must be in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left
side (e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance).
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
