•Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
•Maintain the ventilation openings in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure,
free of obstruction.
•Never use water to wash the compressor position,
wipe it with a dry cloth thoroughly after cleaning
to prevent rust.
•Handle the appliance always with at least two
persons because it is heavy.
•Install and level the appliance in an area suitable
for its size and use.
•Make sure that the electrical information on the

•The appliance is operated by a 220-240 VAC/50
Hz power supply. Abnormal voltage fluctuation
may cause the appliance to fail to start, or damage
to the temperature control or compressor, or
there may be an abnormal noise when operating.
In such case, an automatic regulator shall be

•Only for UK: The appliance’s power cable is fitted
with 3-cord (grounding) plug that fits a standard
3-cord (grounded) socket. Never cut off or
