12
Space Requirement
Select a location without direct exposure to sunlight.
Select a location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily.
Select a location with level (or nearly level) flooring.
Allow sufficient space to install the refrigerator on a flat surface.
Allow a clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power
consumption and reduce your energy bills.
Keep a 50mm clearance by the two sides and rear.
Positioning
Install this appliance in a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class
indicated on the rating plate of the appliance. For refrigerating appliances with climate class:
- extended temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C;(SN)
- temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging
from 16 °C to 32 °C;(N)
- subtropical: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging
from 16 °C to 38 °C;(ST)
- tropical: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from
16 °C to 43 °C;(T)
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct
sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best
performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance
between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 50 mm. Ideally, however, the
appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall units. Accurate leveling is ensured by
one or more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.
This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.
Warning! It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power
supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to
your domestic power supply. The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is
provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed,
connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, and consult a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions
are not observed. This appliance complies with EEC Directives.
