dangerous for the user. The same applies
to changing the power cable.
Do not stand on the base, drawers or
doors or use them to support anything
else.
Do not allow flames or sources of ignition
to enter the appliance. When transporting
and cleaning the appliance, ensure that
the refrigerant circuit is not damaged. In
the event of damage, make sure that
there are no ignition sources nearby.
Keep the room well ventilated.
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge unless
they have been given initial supervision or
instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
Do not store explosives or sprays using
combustible propellants such as butane,
propane, pentane, etc. in the appliance.

Safety instructions and warnings
Children in the household
DANGER, RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT!
Before you throw away your old appliances:
Take off the door. Leave the shelves in place
so that children may not easily climb inside.
Never leave packaging materials with
children. There is a danger of poisoning or
suffocation by the cardboard boxes and
plastic sheets!
This appliance is in no way a toy for
children!
If you will no longer be using the
appliance, remove the doors and gasket
seals and store in a safe place. In this way
you will avoid the danger of children
becoming trapped inside the appliance.
Never allow children to operate, play with,
or crawl inside the appliance.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still
dangerous ... even if they will “just sit in
the garage a few days”.
Grounding instructions
This appliance must be grounded.
If the power socket of the home system is
not grounded in accordance with the
current legal regulations, connect the
appliance to the grounding lead itself after
consulting a specialized technician.
Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance
This appliance is equipped with a power
cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service
technician if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall
outlet, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
For best operation, plug this appliance
into its own electrical outlet to prevent
flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or
tripping of circuit breaker.
Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug with this
appliance.

Transporting and unpacking
If the appliance is transported in a
horizontal position, the oil from the
compressor may leak into the cooling
circuit. For this reason, allow the
appliance to rest in a vertical position for
12 hours before turning it on, so that the
oil flows back into the compressor.
Remove the external packaging, remove
the protective plastic film from the surface
of the appliance (if used) and clean the
external parts of the appliance with a
cleaner designed for this purpose. Do not
use steel wool or any coarse agents,
which could irreparably damage the
surface of the appliance. Carefully remove
all papers and adhesive tape from the
appliance, doors and other parts packed
in polystyrene. Remove documents and
accessories from inside the appliance.
The packaging material is recyclable and
is marked with a recycling symbol. For
disposal, follow the local regulations.
Packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) present a possible
source of danger and must be kept out of
the reach of children.
Carefully inspect the appliance. If you
discover any faults, stop the installation
and contact the vendor.

CAUTION
After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand
upright for at least 2 hours to allow the lubricant and
refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize.
Failure to do so may adversely affect performance and the
lifetime of this unit.

Installation instructions
Before installation of your appliance
The placement of the appliance must meet
the requirements in the section Operating
conditions on page 9 and must include a
stable floor with a load-bearing capacity
corresponding to the weight of the
appliance.
Level the appliance using the adjustable
feet. Ensure there is a gap between the
bottom edge of the appliance and the
ground, so that there is sufficient circulation
of air. This will ensure the optimal
performance of the cooling system.
Check whether any coolant circulation
pipes have been damaged during
installation.
Use the appliance only for the purposes for
which it has been designed.
The appliance must be located on a rigid
and even surface. In this way you will
ensure free circulation of the coolant and
effective operation of your appliance.
If possible, place the appliance in a cool,
well-ventilated and dry area.
Do not locate the appliance in direct
sunlight or in a room with a high ambient
temperature, or in the vicinity of any
sources of direct heat, such as a radiator or
oven. This would cause the compressor to
work harder, resulting in a substantially
higher power consumption level.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
While performing installations described in this section, gloves and safety glasses
or goggles should be worn.
Tools you will need
NOTE: For free standing installation, allow at least 4” of clearance at the back, sides
and top of the unit to permit the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and
condenser. Even for built-in installation, you should provide the following clearances
to ensure the best operation and proper ventilation: 3/16” on both sides, 2” at the
rear and 1/16” at the top. Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is
never covered or blocked in any way.
