ATTENTION! Before installing the appliance, compare the parameters of the local elec-
tricity mains supply with the technical data of the appliance (see the identification
plate on the rear of the appliance, Pic.2 - Section 8). Only connect the appliance to the
mains if the above-mentioned data correspond! All the safety instructions must be
complied with!
ATTENTION!
Ensure that the power supply cable does not come into contact with heat sources or sharp
edges and that it does not become blocked under the appliance. Ensure that the cable is laid
out properly, and not rolled up or bent;
The power supply cable must not be laid on carpets, tablecloths, mats or on other heat insu-
lating materials, nor covered or immersed in water or other liquids and it must be positioned
where it cannot be walked on;
Position the appliance so that the plug is always accessible;
Do not use extension cords, adapters or reducers;
Take care that the power supply cable does not cause tripping hazards.
5.2 Handling and positioning
The appliance must be positioned on a stable and level surface on the ground.
Ensure that, as regards the overall dimensions (see Table 1 - Section 9), the space provided for the
appliance allows its correct use and easy servicing as indicated in section 6.
ATTENTION!
Remove the appliance from the packaging, be sure to follow the instructions in section 4 (En-
vironmental notes) with regard to the storage and disposal of the packaging materials;
While always keeping the appliance level, move and position it on a stable and correctly lev-
elled surface (the height of the legs can be adjusted to compensate for any uneven surfaces).
In order to avoid damage to the compressor and cooling system, never tilt the
appliance more than 45° during transport and positioning.
After transport or handling, wait at least 4 hours after the appliance has been
positioned before switching it on. This will allow the compressor oil to level and
prevent it from entering the cooling circuit, causing irreversible damage to the
compressor and the evaporator.
Never place the appliance on a flammable surface (e.g. carpet, rugs, tablecloths, etc.);
Do not position the appliance near open flames, electric cookers, ovens or other sources of
heat, such as, for example, places exposed to direct sunlight. Heat can damage the surface of
the appliance and adversely affect its operation;
Position the appliance so that the sides and rear are always at least 5 cm from walls, furniture
and other objects, and the top has at least 30 cm of clearance. This is to ensure good air cir-
culation and easier access to all parts of the appliance as well as to provide the necessary space
for its operation;
