Installation
Important installation instructions
This appliance is designed to work in
difcult climate conditions and is pow-
ered with ‘Freezer Shield’ technology
which ensures that the frozen food in the
freezer will not defrost even if the am-
bient temperature falls as low as -59°F.
So you may then install your appliance
in an unheated room without having to
worry about frozen food in the freezer
being spoilt. When the ambient tem-
perature returns to normal, you may
continue using the appliance as usual.
