SELECTING THE ROOM

• Do not install the refrigerator where temperatures will be below 55°F or above 110°F,

because it will not maintain proper temperatures, and the refrigerator could develop

high internal humidity.

Warning: Make sure the room where the appliance is installed is large enough. There

should be at least 1 m

of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is stated

on the rating plate in the appliance interior.

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

Appliance installation should be carried

out by at least two persons to avoid

any physical injury or damage to the

appliance.

• The appliance must stand level or tilted

slightly to the back, stable on a solid

base. At the front, the appliance is ﬁ tted

with two adjustable legs that can be used

to level the appliance. At the rear side,

casters allow for easier installation of the

appliance (only with some models).

• There should be a clearance of at least 5

cm (2 ) between the appliance and any

cupboard installed above it, in order to

allow adequate cooling of the condenser

unit.

• The appliance is supplied with two

spacers which should be installed on the

lower part of the housing to prevent the

installer from pushing the appliance too

close to the wall. Appliance may also be

installed without the spacers; however,

this may increase power consumption.

• Do not expose the appliance to direct

sunlight and do not place it near any

source of heat. If this cannot be avoided,

install an insulation panel.
