(the refrigerant circuit contains R134a) or
HFC
(the refrigerant circuit contains R600a –
ISOBUTANE). To check which gas your appliance contains, refer to the appliance data plate.
•
For appliances with ISOBUTANE (R600a)
Isobutane is a naturally occurring low environmental impact gas. Caution is required, however, because Isobutane is flammable.
Therefore, before connecting the appliance to the power supply, it is essential to ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.
INSTALLATION
- Appliance installation should be carried out by two persons in order to avoid injury to persons or damage to objects.
The appliance must be installed upright on a strong, sturdy surface. This is the only way to guarantee no obstacles in the refrigerant
circuit. Use the adjustable feet
(V)
to level the appliance.
- Do not expose the appliance to high ambient temperatures or direct sunlight.
Ideally, the appliance should be installed in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from sources of heat such as radiators, heaters or direct
sunlight. Do not place any heat-producing appliances (microwave ovens, toasters, etc.) on top of the refrigerator/freezer.
- For the climatic class of your appliance, refer to the data plate affixed to the rear of the appliance:

For appliances not equipped with an air vent, ensure sufficient space is left between the rear of the
freezer and the wall so as to allow hot air to exit freely.
Leave a space of at least 20mm between the rear of the appliance and the wall, and 100mm between the top of the appliance and any
overhead wall units. Use the spacers if supplied.
