Ventilation
The compressor and conden ser generate heat and,
therefore, need to be ventil ated properly. Rooms with
less than perfect ventilation are not very sui ted for in-
stallation of the applian ce. Therefore, it should be i n-
stalled in a room with
an opening (window or French window) that provides
the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also
important that the ro om should not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct
the grates that allow proper ventilation of the appli-
ance. For proper ventil ation of the appliance, you
must leave:
- a space of at least 1 0 cm between the top part and
any cabinets above it;
- a space of at least 5 cm between the si des of the
appliance and any adjacent cabinets/w alls.

Avoid positioning the appliance in a plac e where it is
directly exposed to sunli ght or near an oven, cook top or the
like.

the feet at the front of the appliance.

ability for consequen t damages or losses. Do n ot use
