SETTING UP AND INSTALLATION
Where to place the fridge/freezer
For safety reasons the fridge/freezer must not be installed
outdoors; it must be placed in a dry room. Never place the
appliance close to sources of heat such as cookers or radiators, and
avoid placing it in direct sunlight. The surface on which the
appliance is placed must be level and sturdy. The small wheels
mounted at the rear of the fridge/freezer make it easy to place it in
the required position.
Important Note: The use of other gas appliances inside the
building, such as cook tops, ovens and heaters may create extra
moisture in the air, along with places that experience general high
humidity. This may cause the refrigerator/freezer to build up an
excess of ice on the evaporator plate causing the drip tray at the
back to overflow with water during the defrost process. To help
eliminate excess moisture, a dehumidifier or ventilation unit is
recommended.
The fridge/freezer can be set up free-standing against a wall or
built into a kitchen cabinet.
It is important that the appliance stands completely level and that
there is good air circulation over, under and around it. The
fridge/freezer can be adjusted by turning the two adjusting screws
on the plinth. After adjustment, the feet and the two rear wheels
must be in contact with the surface on which the appliance stands.
It is extremely important that the fridge/freezer’s adjustable feet are
set correctly to avoid movement or future distortion of the cabinet.
It is also advantageous, but not necessary, that
the fridge/freezer is tilted slightly towards the
rear to allow the door to close on it’s own.
Models with table top (KS150/FS120/KF130)
are suitable for building in under a worktop or
in a continuation of a worktop if the kitchen
elements have a standard height of 850mm.
Before fitting, attach the ventilation grill
supplied, to the top of the fridge/freezer. (1)
