UNPACKING
• Packaging materials: This appliance has been packaged to protect it against transportation
damage. Remove all packaging materials from around and inside the appliance and keep the
original packaging carton and materials in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if the
product needs to be transported in the future, and you can use it to store the appliance when it
is not in use. In the event the carton is to be disposed of, please recycle all packaging materials
where possible.
• Suffocation: Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children,
so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and disposed of safely.
• Power cord: Unwind the power cord to its full length and inspect it for damage. Do not use the
appliance if it or its cord have been damaged or are not working properly. In case of damage,
contact our after sales support line for advice on examination, repair or return of the damaged
product.
• Read the manual: Read this manual to familiarise yourself with the appliance. Pay particular
attention to the safety instructions on the previous pages.
• Clean: To remove any dust from transit and storage, clean the interior and exterior surfaces of
the appliance with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly. Important: do not use harsh
or abrasive detergents or powders as these will damage the finish.
• Two person installation: Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do
so can result in back or other injury.
• Freestanding design: This appliance is designed to be freestanding only, and should not be
recessed or built-in.
• Floor surface: This appliance must be properly positioned on a dry, sturdy, level surface that is
strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Ambient temperature: The ambient temperatures must correspond to the climate class ( ST/N )
indicated on the rating plate of the appliance: 16° C – 38° C
• Clearances: Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet, which is
necessary to cool the compressor and condenser. Allow at least 10cm clear space at the back,
10cm at the sides of the unit and 30cm between the top and any surface above (i.e. a bench
top). If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave sufficient space on the hinge
side to allow for the door to swing open.
Do NOT install/use the appliance in the following locations/situations:
• In moist areas or areas of high humidity.
• In a recreational vehicle, or for use with an inverter.
• In direct sunlight, near heat sources, next to an open flame, cooking or heating appliance, or near
any other source of high heat.
• Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase the unit's power
consumption. For best energy efficiency install the appliance in the coolest area of the room.
• In an area with extreme cold ambient temperatures.
• In an area with excessive moisture and high humidity. Make sure it is protected from elements
such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• In an area where petrol or other explosive and/or flammable liquids or fumes are used or stored.
The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
