1.2 Installation warnings
Before using your fridge for the first time,
please pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge is
220-240 V at 50Hz.
• The plug must be accessible after
installation.
• Your fridge may have an odour when it is
operated for the first time. This is normal
and the odour will fade when your fridge
starts to cool.
• Before connecting your fridge, ensure
that the information on the data plate
(voltage and connected load) matches
that of the mains electricity supply. If in
doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
• Insert the plug into a socket with an
efficient ground connection. If the socket
has no ground contact or the plug does
not match, we recommend you consult a
qualified electrician for assistance.
• The appliance must be connected
with a properly installed fused socket.
The power supply (AC) and voltage at
the operating point must match with
the details on the name plate of the
appliance (the name plate is located on
the inside left of the appliance).
• We do not accept responsibility for any
damages that occur due to ungrounded
usage.
• Place your fridge where it will not be
exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your fridge must never be used outdoors
or exposed to rain.
• Your appliance must be at least 50 cm
away from stoves, gas ovens and heater
cores, and at least 5 cm away from
electrical ovens.
• If your fridge is placed next to a deep
freezer, there must be at least 2 cm
between them to prevent humidity
forming on the outer surface.
• Do not cover the body or top of fridge
with lace. This will affect the performance
of your fridge.
• Clearance of at least 150 mm is required
at the top of your appliance. Do not place
anything on top of your appliance.
• Do not place heavy items on the
appliance.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly before

• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts
with a solution of warm water and a
teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate. Then,
rinse with clean water and dry. Return all
parts to the fridge after cleaning.
• Use the adjustable front legs to make
sure your appliance is level and stable.
You can adjust the legs by turning them
in either direction. This must be done
before placing food in the appliance.
• Install the two plastic distance guides (the
parts on the black vanes
-condenser- at the rear)
by turning it 90° (as
shown in the figure) to
prevent the condenser
from touching the wall.
• The distance between
the appliance and back wall must be a
maximum of 75 mm.
