APPLIANCES
545433
• Install the appliance as specified in the instruction manual.
• Do not open the door more often than necessary.
• Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is unobstructed.
• Condenser unit on the rear wall should be kept clean (see chapter Cleaning the
appliance).
• If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for other reasons, have it
replaced as soon as possible.
• Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.
• Before placing the food in the appliance, cool it to room temperature.
• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.
• Remove the drawers from the freezer compartment as described in the instruction
manual, in order to make use of the entire interior.
• Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3-5 milimeter (1/8 to 1/4 inch)
layer of frost or ice has built up on the refrigerated surfaces.
• Make sure the layout of shelves in the compartment is uniform and that the food
is placed so that the air can freely circulate in the appliance interior (observe the
recommended placement of food as described in the instructions).
• In appliances with a fan, do not block the fan slots.
• If you do not need the fan or the ionizer, switch them o to reduce power consumption.

INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION
545433
SELECTING THE ROOM
• Do not install the refrigerator where temperatures will be below 55°F or above 110°F,
because it will not maintain proper temperatures, and the refrigerator could develop
high internal humidity.
Warning: Make sure the room where the appliance is installed is large enough. There
should be at least 1 m3of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is stated
on the rating plate in the appliance interior.
INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Appliance installation should be carried
out by at least two persons to avoid
any physical injury or damage to the
appliance.
• The appliance must stand level or tilted
slightly to the back, stable on a solid
base. At the front, the appliance is fitted
with two adjustable legs that can be used
to level the appliance. At the rear side,
casters allow for easier installation of the
appliance (only with some models).
• There should be a clearance of at least 5
cm (2 ) between the appliance and any
cupboard installed above it, in order to
allow adequate cooling of the condenser
unit.
• The appliance is supplied with two
spacers which should be installed on the
lower part of the housing to prevent the
installer from pushing the appliance too
close to the wall. Appliance may also be
installed without the spacers; however,
this may increase power consumption.
• Do not expose the appliance to direct
sunlight and do not place it near any
source of heat. If this cannot be avoided,
install an insulation panel.
