Installing and operating your fridge freezer

Before using your fridge freezer for the first time, please pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• Your fridge freezer may have an odour when it is operated for the first time. This is normal
and the odour will fade when your fridge freezer starts to cool.
• Before connecting your fridge freezer, ensure that the information on the data plate
(voltage and connected load) matches that of the mains electricity supply. If in doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
• Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient ground connection. If the socket has no
ground contact or the plug does not match, we recommend you consult a qualified
electrician for assistance.
• The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. The power
supply (AC) and voltage at the operating point must match with the details on the name
plate of the appliance (the name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).
• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge freezer where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your fridge freezer must never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• Your appliance must be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and
heater cores, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Do not cover the body or top of fridge freezer with lace. This will affect the
performance of your fridge freezer.
• Top clearance required for the appliance can be derived from dimensions provided in
chapter Dimensions.
• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
• Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance is level and stable. You can
adjust the legs by turning them in either direction. This must be done before placing
food in the appliance.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly before use (see Cleaning and Maintenance).
• Before using your fridge freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a
teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate. Then, rinse with clean water and dry. Return all parts
to the fridge freezer after cleaning.
• Install the two plastic distance guides (the parts on the black vanes
-condenser- at the rear) by turning it 90° (as shown in the figure) to
prevent the condenser from touching the wall.
• If you position the appliance against a wall in a freestanding installation,
install the rear spacers in order to guarantee the maximum possible
distance
