Installation

Before placing your new appliance into operation please read

these operating instructions carefully. They contain important
information for safe use, for installation and for care of the
appliance.

Please keep these operating instructions for future reference.

Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning

1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and

condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.

3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the

appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm
between the sides and any furniture/side walls.

4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct

sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the

appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in
the installation kit, following the instructions provided.

Levelling

1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by

tightening or loosening the front feet.

Electrical connections

After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the
electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical
socket ensure the following:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the

appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the
bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).

• The voltage must be in the range between the values

indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side
(e.g. 220-240V).

• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the

socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised
technician to replace it (

see Assistance

). Do not use

extension cords or multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable

and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

The cable must not be bent or compressed.

The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by

authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety

measures not be observed.

Accessories

SHELVES

•

large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.

FLEX COOL BOX
