GB
contain important information for safe use, for

Positioning and connection

Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-
free room.

compressor and condenser give off heat and
require good ventilation to operate correctly and
save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top
part of the appliance and any furniture above it,
and at least 5 cm between the sides and any
furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources
of heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between
the appliance and the wall behind it, fit the
spacers supplied in the installation kit, following
the instructions provided.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the
refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front
feet.

place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting
the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate
located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150
W).
• The voltage must be in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left
side (e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it ( see Assistance ).

supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.

authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

safety measures not be observed.
