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 clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help
reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
• It is advisable to keep at least 10mm gap at two sides.
Positioning
Install this appliance at 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;
-
temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient
temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C;
-
subtropical: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient
temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C;
-
tropical: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient
temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C;
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 100 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.
Warning!
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains
power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after
installation.
