Installation

! 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, make the

necessary adjustments by tightening or loosening the
single foot at the front of the appliance.

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.
