Your appliance must be installed in compliance with the instructions given in this
"Operating and installation instructions manual" in order to keep your food under
optimum conditions and with optimal energy consumption.
- The appliance should be installed in a dry,
well-ventilated room.
- Avoid balconies, verandas, and patios: the
excessive heat in summer and the cold in
winter could prevent your appliance from
functioning properly, or may even damage it.
- Do not place your appliance near a heat
source such as an oven or radiator.
- Your appliance has been designed for opti-
mum functioning at a certain ambient temper-
ature; it is designed for a particular "climate
class". This climate class is clearly indicated on
the identification plate situated on the inside of
your appliance, low down on the left wall.
Outside of this temperature range, the perfor-
mance of your appliance may be reduced
.
- Maintain a minimum distance between your
appliance and the other units: 3 to 5cm at the
sides, or 10cm if your appliance is close to a
wall, and 10cm above to ensure good circula-
tion of air all around the appliance.
- Position the appliance at a suitable distance
from the wall using the spacers provided in the
accessories packet. The spacers should be
mounted on the back of the appliance (see
Drawing).
Once you have installed your appliance, adjust its feet so that it is tilting backwards slightly:
this helps the door to close correctly.
Before placing any food in your appliance, clean it inside and out with a bicarbon-
ate of soda solution (1 dessertspoon of bicarbonate to 4 litres of water). Do not
use alcohol, scouring powder or detergents, which could damage the surfaces.
