- Before it is connected to the mains, the unit must be thoroughly checked for transport
damage, including its power cord.
- Clean the unit as described in the section De-frosting and Ceaning.
- To ensure proper functioning, wait for around 3 hours before connecting the unit and
switching it on once it has been positioned.
- When the unit is first switched on, a slight smell may be noticed. However, this will
disappear once the cooling process has begun.
Installation
The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry room. It should be operated in an
ambient temperature of 16 to 32 °C and a relative humidity of max. 70 %. Do not expose the
appliance to direct sunlight, and do not position it next to any heat sources (radiators,
cookers etc). If this cannot be avoided, however, suitable insulation must be installed
between the heat source and the unit.
- The rear should have a minimum clearance of 10 cm from the wall.
- The clearance at the sides should be at least 20 cm.
- The clearance above the unit should be at least 30 cm.
- Ensure that there is sufficient space in front for the door to open to 160°.
If the floor is uneven, the adjustable feet can be used to compensate and ensure optimum
stability. The unit should be installed at a slight angle in such a way that it leans to the rear:
this will ensure that the door will close automatically and cannot be left open by mistake.
Ensure, however, that both front feet are set to the same height.
Ventilation
The heated air around the unit must be able to circulate freely. Therefore, ensure that the
circulation is not obstructed.
Reversible door
The design provides for the door to be
reversed, i.e. for right-hinged (default
installation) to become left-hinged.
1. Remove the four screw covers (11) and
the screws (10).
2. Remove the entire top panel (9), and the
cover plate (8).
3. Remove the two threaded bolts (6)
securing the upper hinge plate (5) on the
right-hand side.
4. Carefully lift up the door and place it on a
suitable surface to protect it from
scratches.
5. Take off the plug (7) and re-position it in
the corresponding hole on the right-hand side, pushing it firmly down.
6. Remove the two threaded bolts (6) securing the lower hinge plate (2) on the right-hand
side.
7. Take out the adjustable feet (4) and re-position them on the opposite sides.
8. Replace the door in its new position. Ensure that the hinge pin is inserted into the guide
bushing (hole) on the lower part of the housing.
9. Mount the upper hinge plate (5), removed earlier in step 3, on the left-hand side. Ensure
