Proper installation of the appliance is essential to
ensure the best and most efficient performance of
your appliance.
Ventilation
The c om pressor and c ondenser generate heat and,
therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Room s with
less than perfec t ventilation are not very suited for in-
stallation of the applianc e. Therefore, it should be in-
stalled in a room with
an opening (window or Frenc h window) that provides
the appropriate am ount of air re-c irc ulation. It is also
im portant that the room should not be too hum id.
During installation, m ake sure not to c over or obstruc t
the grates that allow proper ventilation of the appli-
anc e. For proper ventilation of the applianc e, you
m ust leave:
- a spac e of at least 10 c m between the top part and
any c abinets above it;
- a spac e of at least 5 c m between the sides of the
applianc e and any adjac ent c abinets/walls.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the applianc e in a plac e where it is
direc tly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, c ook top or the
like.
Levelling
The floor should be perfec tly levelled; if not, you c an adjust
the feet at the front of the applianc e.
Earthing
Before m aking the elec tric al c onnec tion, c hec k that the
voltage shown on the data plate, that you will find on the
bottom left hand side of the applianc e next to the c risper,
c orresponds to that of your m ains and that the soc ket is
earthed in c onform ity with all c urrent elec tric al regulations. If
the system is not earthed, the m anufac turer dec lines all li-
ability for c onsequent dam ages or losses. Do not use
adapters or m ultiple soc kets.
Check the power load
The elec tric al soc ket m ust support the m axim um power load
of the applianc e shown on the data plate (on the bottom
left hand side of the applianc e next to the c risper).
Before plugging the appliance to the mains
Set the applianc e upright and wait at least 3 hours before
plugging the applianc e into the m ains to ensure proper per-
form anc e.
