If the appliance is transported in a
horizontal position, the oil from the
compressor may leak into the cooling
circuit. For this reason, allow the appliance
to rest in a vertical position for 12 hours
before turning it on, so that the oil flows
back into the compressor.
Remove the external packaging, remove
the protective plastic film from the surface
of the appliance (if used) and clean the
external parts of the appliance with a
cleaner designed for this purpose. Do not
use steel wool or any coarse agents,
which could irreparably damage the
surface of the appliance. Carefully remove
NOTE: Models CL24WC2, CLFD24WC, CL242WBV, CL15WC and CL151WBV can be installed as
either built-in or free-standing units. For free-standing installation, allow at least 4" of
clearance at the back, sides and top of the unit to permit the proper air circulation to
cool the compressor and condenser. Even for built-in installation, certain clearances
are necessary for optimal operation. In this case, allow 3/16" on both sides, 2" at the
rear and 1/16" at the top to ensure proper ventilation. Take care that the air vent at
the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.
Before installation of your appliance
The placement of the appliance must meet the requirements in the section Operating
conditions on page 7 and must include a stable floor with a load-bearing capacity
corresponding to the weight of the appliance.
Level the appliance using the adjustable feet. Ensure there is a gap between the bottom edge
of the appliance and the ground, so that there is sufficient circulation of air. This will ensure
the optimal performance of the cooling system.
Check whether any coolant circulation pipes have been damaged during the installation.
Use the appliance only for the purposes for which it has been designed.
The appliance must be located on a rigid and even surface. In this way you will ensure free
circulation of the coolant and effective operation of your appliance.
If possible, place the appliance in a cool, well ventilated and dry room.
Do not locate the appliance in direct sunlight or in a room with a high ambient temperature, or
in the vicinity of any sources of direct heat, such as a radiator or oven. This would cause the
compressor to work harder, resulting in a substantially higher power consumption level.
Transportation and unpacking
Installation instructions
all papers and adhesive tape from the
appliance, doors and other parts packed in
polystyrene. Remove documents and
accessories from inside the appliance.
The packaging material is recyclable and
is marked with a recycling symbol. For
disposal, follow the local regulations.
Packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) must be kept out of
the reach of children, because they
present a possible source of danger.
Carefully inspect the appliance. If you
discover any faults, stop the installation
and contact the vendor.
