IMPORTANT NOTES AND
PRECAUTIONS
Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, please
read carefully the instructions for use which describe the
appliance and its correct and safe use. The instructions
apply to several appliance types/models; thus, settings or

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
459922
SELECTING THE ROOM
• Install the appliance in a dry and well ventilated room. The appliance will operate correctly
if the environment temperature is in the interval specified in the table. The appliance class is
indicated on the rating plate / label with the basic information on the appliance.
Description Class Ambient temperature range
°C
Relative humidity
Extended temperate SN +10 to +32
75%
Temperate N +16 to +32
Subtropical ST +16 to +38
Tropical T +16 to +43
Warning: Make sure the room where the appliance is installed is large enough. There
should be at least 1 m3 of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is
stated on the rating plate in the appliance interior.
INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Appliance installation should be carried
out by at least two persons to avoid any
physical injury or damage to the appliance.
• This appliance is not intended to be used
as a build-in appliance.
• The appliance must stand level or tilted
slightly to the back, stable on a solid
base. At the front, the appliance is fitted
with two adjustable legs that can be used
to level the appliance. At the rear side,
casters allow for easier installation of the
appliance (only with some models).
• There should be a clearance of at least 5 cm
between the appliance and any cupboard
installed above it, in order to allow adequate
cooling of the condenser unit.
• The appliance is supplied with two
spacers which should be installed on
the lower part of the housing to prevent
from pushing the appliance too close to
the wall. Appliance may also be installed
without the spacers; however, this may
increase power consumption.
• Do not expose the appliance to direct
sunlight and do not place it near any
source of heat. If this cannot be avoided,
install an insulation panel.

459922
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
• To set the desired temperature, rotate the
Adial in clockwise direction, i.e. to the
right.
• A change in the environment temperature
will aect the temperature in the
appliance. Adjust the setting with the A
dial accordingly. Positions towards the
thicker part of the sign mean a lower
temperature in the appliance (cooler).
Settings towards the thinner part of
the sign mean a higher temperature
(warmer).
