INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

3.1 Choosing the site

Always place the appliance in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight
or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside), the appliance can
be used in different temperature conditions:
Class
SN (Subnormal)
N (Normal)
ST (Subtropical)
T (Tropical)
Never place the appliance close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must
be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from
electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems.
To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the appliance must not be placed too close to the wall. To
prevent this, fit the two spacers "D" (supplied in the accessories bag) as shown below. If the appliance is
installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm.
Position the appliance so that the door can be opened fully. Take care not to scratch or damage the
floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum. If necessary, when positioning slide the
appliance over pieces of wood or a mat to the point decided for connection to the electrical mains.

3.2 Positioning and levelling the appliance

Place the appliance on a firm, level surface. To compensate for
any unevenness in the floor, the appliance has four adjustable feet.
This gives it added stability and makes it easier to move around and
position. Take great care when moving the appliance not to
damage the floor (for example, when installing on a parquet floor).

3.3 Electrical connection

Connect the appliance's power supply lead to a mains socket with earth contact, installed in accordance
with electrical safety regulations. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate inside the
appliance. The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in compliance with the
relevant regulations and requirements. The appliance is able to withstand short fluctuations in voltage of
no more than 15% less or 10% more than the rated voltage stated on the nameplate. If the power supply
lead has to be replaced, this operation must only be carried out by an authorised Smeg technical service
engineer. The power plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.
