PART 3: INSTALLATION
Space requirement
• Select a location without direct exposure to sunlight;
• Select a location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily;
• Select a location with level (or nearly level) ooring;
• Allow sucient space to install the refrigerator on a at surface;
• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption
and keep your energy bills lower.
• Keep at lest 50mm gap at two sides and back.
Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated
on the rating plate of the appliance:
Climate class Ambient temperature
SN +10°C to +32°C
N +16°C to +32°C
ST +16°C to +38°C
T +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. Accurate leveling is ensured by one or more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.
WARNING!
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must
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 qualied electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed.
This appliance complies with the E.E.C. Directives.
