INSTALLATION ONLy
The room must be well ventilated and not used as a bedroom.
Further the room should have a window (which can be opened)
or a door to the outside.
For best performance also at high ambient temperatures there
must be a free air circulation over the cooling unit at the rear
of the refrigerator. Ensure that there is a free space of at least 4
inches (100 mm) above the refrigerator and that the ventilation
opening on the top of the cabinet is not covered in any way.
Do not place the refrigerator in a space where air circulation is
restricted. A clearance of at least 1-inch (25 mm) should be left
between the rear and sides of the refrigerator and the surround-
ing walls.
This freestanding refrigerator requires accessibility to the back
for servicing the gas equipment. If allowed by the Local Au-
thorities, the accessibility can be obtained by using a certified
Flexible Metal Connector of Gas Hose Assembly, which would
allow the refrigerator to be withdrawn without disrupting the
gas supply. However, if the Local Authorities require a rigid
gas supply connector the refrigerator should be located with
sufficient space at the back for servicing or, if located against a
wall, a removable panel of a minimum size of 16" x 20" should
be provided in the wall to allow access to the rear of the refrig-
erator. The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position
in both directions. Use the feet on the refrigerator to adjust its
position.
