Installation
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the
appliance is installed correctly.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, there-
fore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than
perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the
appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with
an opening (window or French window) that provide the
appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important
that the room not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.
For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave:
- a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and any
cabinets above it;
- a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the appliance
and any adjacent cabinets/walls.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.

the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the gen-
eral switch in your home).

or remove the lock as a safety measure to protect children who
might lock themselves inside the appliance when playing. In
addition, if the appliance is a new one with a lock, keeo the
key out of the reach of small children.

attempt to repair the appliance by tampering with the internal
components.

one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases, the con-
nections are made using special terminals and in others a spe-
cial tool must be used to access the connections.
11. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for
food storage, if these are not those recommended by the
manufacturer.

the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located within the
freezer, corresponds to the mains voltage in your home and that
the socket is fitted with a standard earthing wire in accordance
with safety standards for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fit-
ted with an earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be held
liability for any damages and or injuries arising out of the use of
the appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access
the socket where it is plugged in.

power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating
plate located within the freezer.
