2. Installation Instructions
When you first unpack the unit, check the overall condition and any accessories that are present. Any
damage during transport or incomplete accessories should be reported immediately.
Whilst carrying or moving the unit, do not tilt it to one side more than 45° from the upright position as there
is the possibility of damaging the compressor. If it is necessary to tilt the fridge when moving, such as to fit
under a door frame, please wait 12 hours before powering the unit on to ensure all oils have drained into
their correct place.
The installation location should meet the following conditions:
•
Ambient temperature between 10°C and 28°C
•
Low relative humidity of the ambient air below 60%
•
Do not use in highly dusty environments
•
The unit should be placed on a stable, level surface
•
The unit should be placed at least 100mm away from the wall
•
The height of the room should be at least 300mm greater than the height of the unit
•
If the unit is an under-bench model, the bench should be at least 100mm from the unit and the
bench should be vented for airflow
•
The unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight
•
The unit should be kept away from heat sources
•
The unit is not designed to be built in without adequate ventilation
•
The unit should be plugged into a surge protector to protect against over-voltage and damaging
power spikes
If you don’t comply with the above recommendations, the unit will not run optimally and you may affect the
overall life of the unit. You may also lose your warranty.
If it is not possible to locate the unit in a place that fully complies with the above conditions, make sure that
at least the following points are followed:
•
If the room temperature is higher than recommended, monitor the temperature in the room using
an additional temperature sensor. If the room temperature exceeds 45°C, a thermal protection
switch will activate to protect the compressor against mechanical or thermal damage.
•
If the room temperature is lower than the recommended limit, under no circumstances should you
turn the refrigerator on as this may damage the compressor.
•
In highly humid or tropical environments, manual defrosting of the evaporator and chamber walls
often is recommended.
Note:
After positioning, secure it by locking the castor wheels (if they are provided on your model) or
extending the adjustment screw feet located underneath the front of the unit.
