1.2 Location.

 Stand the refrigerator away from 

sources of heat and protect it from direct 

sunlight to reduce its consumption.

Do not install the refrigerator in the open air

or exposed to rain.

The air must circulate around the rear of

the refrigerator. Leave a space of 25 mm

between the back of the refrigerator and the

wall. Do not block the space between the

refrigerator and the fl oor or the ceiling.

Level the refrigerator to prevent vibration and

noise. Bear in mind that if the refrigerator

is placed against the wall or a kitchen unit,

some noise may occur.

Also check the trays are placed correctly,

and place containers separately to prevent

vibration.

1.3 Mains connection. 

Leave the refrigerator to 

stand for at least 2 hours in vertical position 

before plugging it in. Check the data on 

the reference plate (220-240V with earth 

connection) (1.3.1, 1.3.2). 

Do not use adapters or extension leads.

Ensure the cable is not touching the motor or 

trapped underneath it.
