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.

•

Install the refrigerator in a dry, well-ventilated place.

•

Clean the interior (see “How to clean and defrost the 

freezer”).

•

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 adaptors.

Disconnecting the appliance

Electrical disconnection must be possible either by unplugging 

the appliance or by means of a double-pole switch located upline 

from the socket.

Fit the spacers
