INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
498628
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.
Class Temperature
SN (subnormal) from +10°C to +32°C
N (normal) from +16°C to +32°C
ST (subtropical) from +16°C to +38°C
T (tropical) from +16°C to +43°C
Warning: Make sure the room where the appliance is installed is large enough. There
should be at least 1 m3of 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.
• The appliance must stand level and 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.

498628
CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE
• Connect the appliance to the power mains using a connection cable. The wall outlet
should be fitted with a ground contact (safety socket). Nominal voltage and frequency
are indicated on the rating plate/label with basic information on the appliance.
• The appliance must be connected to the power mains and grounded in compliance
with the eective standards and regulations. The appliance will withstand short-term
deviations from the nominal voltage, but not more than +/- 6%.
