Installation instructions
Before reading these instructions, please
unfold the pages with the illustrations.

Installation

• Install your combined
freezer-refrigerator in a dry, well
ventilated room. In a damp room the
moisture in the air will form
condensation on the outside of the
appliance.
• If the unit is placed next to a heat
source or another refrigerator, then the
following minimun lateral clearances
must be maintained (or an insulating
panel used):
from electric cookers
from oil or coal-fired cookers
from other refrigerators
• Since warm air generated at the back of
the refrigerator must be allowed to
escape unhindered, you must never
block the space between it and the wall
nor cover the ventilation grid at the
base.
• The appliance must stand firm and
level. To compensate for any
uneveness in the floor set the ajustable
feet at the front, fig s. Two rollers
underneath the appliance allow it to be
easily positioned in a niche.

Electrical connection

• The refrigerator must be connected to a
220-240 V (SN/N), 220-230 V (ST) AC
(50 Hz) supply only, and must be
protected by a 13 Amp fuse. The
connection must be made via a properly
installed socket with a non-fused
earthing contact.
