Installing And Operating Your Fridge; Before Using Your Fridge - Smeg UK35PX4 Instruction Booklet

Installing and Operating your Fridge

• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• W e do not take the responsibility of the damages that occur due to ungrounded
usage.
• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves,
ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from
electrical ovens.
• It should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should
be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer
surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a
suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on the upper
side.
• If you will place your fridge next to your kitchen cabinets, leave a
space of 2 cm between them.
• Fit the plastic wall spacers to the condenser at the back of the
refrigerator in order to prevent leaning to the wall for good
performance.
• Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black vanes
at the rear) by turning it 90° to prevent the condenser from
touching the wall.
• The adjustable front legs should stabilized in an appropriate height to allow your
fridge operate in a stable and proper way. You can adjust the legs by turning them
clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should be done before placing food in
the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water added with a tea spoonful of
sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts after
cleaning.

Before Using your Fridge

• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep
your fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to
allow efficient operation. Otherwise, you may damage the
compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade
away when your fridge starts to cool.
