INSTALLATION (CHOICE OF POSITION FOR INSTALLATION)
Strictly avoid high ambient temperatures and direct sunlight. We advise you to place
your appliance in a cool, well aired, dry room. Installation in the immediate vicinity of
a heat source (heating, oven etc.) is highly inappropriate (increased compressor
performance would be necessary and, as a result, energy consumption would be
considerably higher).
If the installation near a heat source cannot be avoided, a suitable insulation plate
must be fitted between the appliance and the heat source (do not use asbestos), or
the following minimum distances must be observed:
• from gas or electric cooker
• from radiator or oven
• from a wall, piece of furniture or another appliance
•Never obstruct the ventilation grid
Larger chest freezers are equipped with a ventilation grille (k) located below on one
side. These appliances can be placed directly against a wall or a piece of furniture
but not with the side protected with the ventilation grille.
•Freezers without ventilation grid
Leave sufficient space between the rear of the appliance and the wall to ensure that
outward flow of warm air is able to escape.
The appliance must be placed horizontally and on a leveled base. Only this way can
an impeded circuit of the refrigerant and optimum function be ensured.
IMPORTANT!
Leave the appliance stand in the final position for at least 2 hours before
switching it on, so that the refrigerant circuit stabilizes and no operating
problems occur.
Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the inner area – especially the
corners – is absolutely dry.
