1.2 Installation warnings

Before using your fridge for the first time, 

please pay attention to the following points:

• 

The operating voltage for your fridge is 

220-240 V at 50Hz.

• 

The plug must be accessible after 

installation.

• 

Your fridge may have an odour when it is 

operated for the first time. This is normal 

and the odour will fade when your fridge 

starts to cool. 

• 

Before connecting your fridge, ensure 

that the information on the data plate 

(voltage and connected load) matches 

that of the mains electricity supply. If in 

doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

• 

Insert the plug into a socket with an 

efficient ground connection. If the socket 

has no ground contact or the plug does 

not match, we recommend you consult a 

qualified electrician for assistance.

• 

The appliance must be connected 

with a properly installed fused socket. 

The power supply (AC) and voltage at 

the operating point must match with 

the details on the name plate of the 

appliance (the name plate is located on 

the inside left of the appliance).

• 

We do not accept responsibility for any 

damages that occur due to ungrounded 

usage.

• 

Place your fridge where it will not be 

exposed to direct sunlight.

• 

Your fridge must never be used outdoors 

or exposed to rain.

• 

Your appliance must be at least 50 cm 

away from stoves, gas ovens and heater 

cores, and at least 5 cm away from 

electrical ovens.

•  If your fridge is placed next to a deep 

freezer, there must be at least 2 cm 

between them to prevent humidity 

forming on the outer surface.

• 

Do not cover the body or top of fridge 

with lace. This will affect the performance 

of your fridge.

• 

Clearance of at least 150 mm is required 

at the top of your appliance. Do not place 

anything on top of your appliance.

• 

Do not place heavy items on the 

appliance.

• 

Clean the appliance thoroughly before 

use (see Cleaning and Maintenance).

• 

Before using your fridge, wipe all parts 

with a solution of warm water and a 

teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate. Then, 

rinse with clean water and dry. Return all 

parts to the fridge after cleaning.

• 

Use the adjustable front legs to make 

sure your appliance is level and stable. 

You can adjust the legs by turning them 

in either direction. This must be done 

before placing food in the appliance.

• 

Install the two plastic distance guides (the 

parts on the black vanes 

-condenser- at the rear) 

by turning it 90° (as 

shown in the figure) to 

prevent the condenser 

from touching the wall.

• 

The distance between 

the appliance and back wall must be a 

maximum of 75 mm.
