2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the external packaging, remove the protective plastic film from the surface of the appliance 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.
IMPORTANT
This unit can be installed as either as a built-in or free-standing unit. In a 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. Make sure that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never
covered or blocked in any way.
BEFORE INSTALLATING OF YOUR APPLIANCE
•
The placement of the appliance must meet the requirements in the section operating conditions 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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
The appliance shall not be exposed to rain (indoor model only)
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 115 Volt / 60 Hz grounded electrical supply equipped with a 15 or 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker is required.
The unit should be connected to a dedicated electrical circuit. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a
switch or pull chain. Connect this appliance to a 3-prong power supply outlet that has a ground terminal. If you
only have a 2-prong outlet, have it replaced by a qualified technician with an outlet that meets local codes and
regulations . DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the
rating label. The connection to the power supply and grounding must meet current local standards and
regulations.
