INSTALLATION

Install the appliance away from heat sources. Installation in a 
hot environment, direct exposure to the sun or installation 
near heat sources (heaters, radiators, cookers) will increase 
power consumption and should therefore be avoided.

If this is not possible, the following minimum distances must 
be respected:

• 30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves;

• 3 cm from electric and/or gas stoves.

Fit the spacers (if supplied) on the rear of the condenser 
positioned at the back of the appliance (see figure).

To optimize appliance efficiency, leave a 5 cm gap above the 
appliance and make sure that adjacent kitchen units are 
sufficiently distanced to allow air circulation.

Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place, and 
ensure it is level, using the front adjustment feet if necessary.

Clean the interior.

Fit the accessories.

Electrical Connection

Electrical connections must be made in accordance 
with local regulations.

Voltage and power consumption are indicated on the rating 
plate inside the appliance.

Regulations require that the appliance is

 

earthed. 

The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to 
persons or animals and for damage to property 
resulting from failure to observe the above 
procedures and reminders.

If the plug and socket are not of the same type, have the 
socket replaced by a qualified electrician.

Do not use extension leads or adapters.

Disconnecting the appliance

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance by unplugging it 
or by means of a two-pole switch fitted upline of the socket.
