INSTALLATION AND OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE
APPLIANCE
Positioning:
•
This appliance can be installed in a dry, well ventilated indoor where the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the
appliance.
Do not install this appliance in areas that are too humid or too colds, such as
the construction appendices, garages or wine cellars. Place the appliance
away from heat sources such as kitchen stove/oven, radiators, or direct
sunlight. The appliance must not touch any pipes for heating, gas or water
supply, or any other electrical devices.
Minimum distances from the heat sources:
- from the electric gas and other ovens - 30 mm,
- from oil or coal fired ovens - 300 mm,
- from built-in ovens - 50 mm
If there is no possibility of ensuring the above- mentioned distances, provide an
appropriate insulation board.
•
Do not cover the ventilation holes at the top of the appliances – it
must be a good air circulation around the appliance. There should
be a gap of at least 10 cm between the top of the appliance body
and any furniture that may be above it. If this requirement is not
followed, the appliance consumes
more electrical energy and its
compressor may overheat.
•
The appliance must stand on a level
surface and must not touch the
wall. If necessary, regulate the
height of the appliance by adjusting
the levelling feet: by turning them
clockwise – the front of the appliance rises, by turning
them counter clockwise – it comes down. If the
appliance is tilted slightly backward – the doors will close
by themselves.
•
If you are positioning the refrigerator in a corner, leave
a gap of at least 1 cm between the wall and the body of
the appliance so that the refrigerator door opens enough
to enable the fruit and vegetable tray to be pulled out.
•
Preparing for operation:
•
It is recommended to prepare the appliance for operation with a helper.
•
Remove package. Lift the appliance away from foamed polystyrene base. Tear off
adhesive tapes. Remove all red-coloured parts from the shelves and coloured adhesive
tapes from the door trays
•
When placing, moving, lifting the appliance, do not hold the door handles, do
not pull the condenser at the rear part of the refrigerator and do not touch
the compressor unit.
