3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location
When selecting a position for your fridge you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the
room is well ventilated. An average ambient temperature must be observed. This temperature is
specific according to the climatic class of the device:
• N: This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C
to 32 °C
• ST: This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C
to 38 °C
Avoid location near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler or radiator. Also, avoid direct sunlight in out-
buildings or terraces/outside seating areas. If you are placing your appliance in an out-building such
as a garage or annex ensure that it is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will
occur on the cabinet.
Never place the appliance in a wall recessed or into fitted cabinets or furniture when it is working,
the metal grid at the back may become hot and the sides warm.
The device is supplied with two plastic spacers. After installing these spacers, the unit cannot be
pushed against the wall to ensure adequate ventilation. Insert the spacers into the corresponding
openings on the back of the device, then screw the spacers firmly. Place the device against a wall
whose free distance does not exceed 75 mm and exceeds it by more than 50 mm.
Transport and start-up
When transporting this device, hold it by the base and gently tilt the device up to a maximum of 45°.
Do not lift the appliance by the door handle. Do not place the device in a completely horizontal
position or upside down. Push the refrigerator on the roller feet to move it.
Leveling the fridge
If the fridge is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be
affected and may cause you fridge to work incorrectly. Once the fridge
is placed in its final location, adjust the leveling feet at the front by
turning them.
