person, as per the information contained in Baumatic's
installation instructions.

appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant
gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation
process to settle.

contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid
detergent and water.

lukewarm water. The interior and accessories

process has been completed.

hours after switching on the appliance for the first time.

operating position.
