INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using your Appliance

· Remove the exterior and interior packing.
CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at least 2 hours to
allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure
to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of the unit.
· Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Install the handle on the door, if it is not already attached. (See Installing the Stainless Steel
·
Handles.)

Installation of your Appliance

· The appliance is designed for built-in, recessed or free standing installation for indoor use.
CAUTION: This appliance is not designed for the storage of medicine or other medical products.
· Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level
the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
· For free standing installation, 5" (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit, and
4" (102mm) at the top, are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the
compressor and condenser. Even for built-in installation, it is better to keep ¼" (6.35mm) space
on each side and at the top and 2" (51mm) at the rear. Take care that the air vent at the front of
the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other
heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Don't install in a location where the temperature will fall below 61°F
(16°C). For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the
base grille.
· Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
· Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet.
Built-in Under-counter Instructions
Make sure your installation does not block the front ventilation
grille. The unit is designed to fit under worktops.
If the unit is fully integrated to be installed for fitting kitchen
plinth, make sure that the ventilation gaps in the plinth are at
least 300 square centimeters and remove the ventilation
grilles, so that warm air can disperse unhindered. Otherwise
the appliance has to work harder, resulting in an increase in
electricity consumption.
NOTE: When pushing the appliance into the niche, make sure
that the mains cable does not get trapped.
