Installation

Proper installation of the appliance is essential to en-

sure the best and most efficient performance of your

appliance.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and, there-

fore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than

perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the

appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with

an opening (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.

termine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem. do not

try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal com-

ponents of the appliance.

Levelling

The floor should be perfectly level; if not, you can adjust the

Earthing

Before making the electrical connection, check that the volt-

age shown on the data plate, that you will find on the bot-

tom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper, cor-

responds to that of your home and that the socket is earthed

in compliance with all current electrical regulations. If the

system is not earthed, the manufacturer declines all liability

for consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or

multiple sockets.

Position the appliance in such a way that you can access

the socket where it is plugged in.

Check the power load

The electrical socket must support the maximum power load

of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom

left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper).

Stand the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before

plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper per-
