Installation
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the
appliance is installed correctly.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore,
need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than perfect
ventilation are not very suited for installation of the appli-
ance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with an open-
ing (window or French window) that provide the appropriate
amount of air re-circulation. It is also important that the room
not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.
For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave:
- a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and any
cabinets above it;
- a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the appliance
and any adjacent cabinets/walls.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.
Levelling
The appliance must be level. To level the appliance properly,
first adjust the front plastic feet and then unscrew the foot
situated beneath the lower door hinge until it adheres to
the floor completely (Fig. 1).

Electrical Connection and Earthing
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure
that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the
bottom left near the vegetable crisper, corresponds to the
mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted with
a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety standards
for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with an earthing
wire, the manufacturer will not be held liability for any dam-
ages and or injuries arising out of the use of the appliance.
Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access
the socket where it is plugged in.
Insufficient power?
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating
plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.
Before making the electrical connection ...
After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical
upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the
plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions prop-
erly.
