Installation and initial operation
Selection of Installation Places
Operating environment of the product is very important to ensure that your product operates without any problem.
When you are selecting the operating environment,
>Do not place your product outdoors so that it shall be
exposed to weather conditions. (on a street, lane, etc.)
>Do not place materials such as cardboards, boxes, etc.
in front of the lower blinds to ensure proper cooling of
your product.
>Place it at least one (1) meter away from heat sources.
(stove, radiator, electrical heater, etc.) (Figure 1)
>Do not expose to direct sunlight. Operation rate of your
appliance will be increased if sunlight hits the glass of
your cooler. And this causes an increase in the tem-
perature of the products inside the appliance and the
power consumption shall be increased. (Figure 2)
>Do not place it against A/C exhausts, under the fans
and directly in the door and window openings. (Figure 3)
>Air entrance and exit shall always be free and easy for
proper operation of the compressor section of your
appliance.
>Make sure that there is a clearance of 150 mm (15 cm)
between the wall and the rear side of your cooler when
you are bringing the product close to the wall.
The voltage and frequency of mains power should be the same as the values specified
on the label behind your appliance. If mains power is far below or above the specified
values, have the desired voltage by using a voltage regulator. You can get help from a
qualified electrician. The fuse of the mains socket should be maximum 16A.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that the floor and walls of the location of your cooler
shall not be damaged by water against the risk of flooding
of drainage water in very humid environments.
On installations performed by the authorized service,
customer shall be informed and advised about the proper
installation location, however final decision on the installa-
tion location shall be made by the customer.
Authorized Service specify the process mentioned above
on the relevant installation service form. Customer shall be
solely responsible for any damages that may occur due to
the installation location decided as per the final decision of
the customer.

Location
Possible Installation Locations:
1. Ensure that a clearance of 150 mm (15 cm) is available between the wall and your cooler so that solely the back of your
cooler faces the wall.
2. When you place it on the corner, leave a clearance of 150 mm (15 cm) on its back so that it faces the corner. You may
lean the side on the corner to the wall. (Figure 4)
The most important point for any kind of placement is that the ventilation of the compressor assembly is not blocked. Place
your product so that it is not inclined in any way and that it is standing on its legs or castors and then operate it. (Figure 5)
Your appliance shall operate more efficiently when the ventilation of the compressor assembly is better.
Installation
