Installation and connection
Choosing the site
•
Always place the freezer in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to
direct sunlight or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class, the appliance can be
used in different temperature conditions:
•
Never place the freezer close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating
panel must be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the
appliance at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers and at least 30cm from combustion or
radiation heating systems.
•
To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the freezer must not be placed too close to the
wall.
•
Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or
linoleum. If necessary, when positioning slide the refrigerator over pieces of wood or a mat
to the point decided for connection to the electrical mains.
Positioning and levelling the appliance
Place the freezer on a stable and level floor. In case the floor is not perfectly level, use the two
adjustable feet on the front part of the freezer. To ensure major stability, easier movement
and a correct positioning of the product, two additional wheels are present at the rear. In any
case we recommend moving the fridge very carefully in order to avoid floor damage (especially
in case of wooden floor).
The following space requirement are recommended:
Clearance around the chest freezer
Sides ...... 10cm
Back ....... 10cm
Top......... 70m
Electrical connection
Before switching the freezer on for the first time, leave it
vertical for at least two hours. Then connect the appliance's power supply plug to a mains
socket with earth contact, installed in accordance with electrical safety regulations. The rated
voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate on back of the freezer. The appliance must
be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in compliance with the relevant regulations
and requirements.
The appliance is able to withstand short fluctuations in voltage of no more than 15% less or
10% more than the rated voltage stated on the nameplate. If the power supply cord has to be
