Where to put your appliance.
Climatic Class can be found on the Rating
Plate and this specifies the ambient
temperatures at which the appliance may be
operated.
Climatic Class
Permitted Ambient
Temperature
SN +10˚C to 32˚C
ST +18˚C to 38˚C
Avoid locating near anything which gives off
heat, a cooker or radiator for example or in a
position where sunlight is liable to shine
directly onto the appliance. In such a position
your appliance will have to work harder and
will cost more to run and may be damaged by
the heat.
If installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate, or
comply with the following minimum
distances:
3cm to an electric cooker,
30cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
If the appliance is installed next to another
freezer or refrigerator, observe a minimum
distance of 2cm between the appliances to
prevent condensation.
Appliances with handles must be positioned
55mm, from the wall on the hinge side, so that
the door can be opened by 90˚.
Make sure that the electrical socket is easily
accessible, the best position is at the side of or
above the appliance.
Air Circulation
The heated air must be able to escape
through the rear of the appliance. If the air
flow is obstructed, the refrigerating unit must
work harder, which increases the power
consumption. Therefore NEVER cover the
ventilation slots.
Adjusting the Feet
Note: An unsteady appliance can cause
problems.
The height adjustable feet have been fully
screwed in at the factory. When installing the
appliance use a screwdriver to adjust the feet.
Unscrew the feet initially by 5mm, place the
appliance in its final position and continue to
adjust the feet until the appliance is standing
firm and is level (use a spirit level to check).
Securing the Appliance
Once in its final position and level, the
appliance must be fixed to the wall to prevent
it from tilting forward.
● Place the metal lug (2) on the left or right
side of the air grid and mark the fixing
hole on the wall.
● Drill the hole and insert a wall plug (1).
● Insert the metal lug (2) into the air grid
and screw to the wall (3).
(Size 5 wall plugs and screws are available
from DIY stores).
Clean before Using
We recommend before using your appliance
that you clean the interior and exterior (see
page 9).
Final check
Before you start using your appliance, check:
1. It is thoroughly dry inside,
2. Air can circulate freely,
3. The feet have been adjusted, ie. all four
are firmly on the ground
