therefore be easily accessible after installation.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your domestic
power supply.
The appliance must be earthed.
The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is
not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a
qualified electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed.
This appliance complies with the E.E.C. Directives.

Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class
indicated on the rating plate of the appliance (see below also).
For refrigerating appliances with climate class:
-Extended Temperate (SN): this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient
temperatures ranging from 10
'C to 32'C;
-Temperate (N): this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 16'C to 32'C;
-Subtropical (ST): this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 16'C to 38'C;
-Tropical (T): this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging
from 16'C to 43'C;
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc.
Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet.
To ensure best performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance
between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 100 mm. Ideally, however, the appliance should
not be positioned below overhanging wall units as this impairs the flow of hot air from the rear of the appliance.
Accurate leveling is ensured by one or more adjustable feet at the front base of the cabinet
This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance so under no circumstances should it
be enclosed in any unit and never be placed behind a door.
