4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Always place the refrigerator 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 refrigerator
compartment), the appliance can be used in different temperature conditions:
Class
SN (Subnormal)
N (Normal)
ST (Subtropical)
T (Tropical)
Never place the refrigerator close to heat sources unless strictly necessary. 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 refrigerator must not be placed too close to the wall. Leave
a gap of at least 5 cm between the back of the appliance and the wall. There must be an opening of at
least 200 cm
distance between the two must be at least 5 cm.
Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum.
4.1 Positioning and levelling the appliance
Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface. To compensate for any unevenness in the floor, the
appliance has two adjustable feet at the back. To adjust them, turn the screw as shown in figure 1 to level
the appliance.
Once it has been levelled, the appliance can be fixed in place by turning the screws on the front wheels
as shown in figure 2. The two screws are supplied separately. To fit them, screw them into the hole as
shown in figure 3.

4.2 Electrical connection
Before switching the refrigerator on for the first time, leave it standing upright for about two hours. Then
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 refrigerator compartment. 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 brief
voltage fluctuations of not more than 15% below or 10% above the rated value. If the power supply lead
has to be replaced, this operation must only be carried out by an authorized Smeg technical service
engineer.
