Safety Information and Warnings
Installation
Electrical Safety
Heavy: This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it. To avoid back or other injury, consider
a two person lift or mechanical aid when installing it.
Location: The room for installing the appliance must be at least 1M ³per 8g of refrigerant. The
amount and type of refrigerant in the appliance can be found on the rating plate on the back of
the appliance.
Moisture: Install the fridge in an indoor area protected from wind, rain, water spray or drips.
Heat: Do not install it next to an oven, grill or other source of high heat.
Ventilation: To ensure proper ventilation, the front of the appliance must be completely
unobstructed. Keep any ventilation openings clear of obstructions. Choose a well-ventilated area
with temperatures above 16
˚C and below 43˚C.
Refrigerant circuit: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Level: Install the appliance on a level surface or adjust the feet to level the appliance and ensure
proper operation.
Pipes:Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installations.
Check for leaks after connection.
Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on
the appliance rating label. Plug the fridge into a 220-240V, 50Hz, 3-prong, power outlet with a
15A fuse at the mains. The outlet must be properly earthed to the ground.
Separate circuit: Do not use an adaptor; do not use an extension cord. We recommend you
connect the fridge to a separate circuit serving only this appliance. This provides the best
performance and prevents overloading the house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard
from overheating. Use a power point that cannot easily be turned off accidentally.
Power cord:Do not kink or damage the power cord. Do not leave it exposed or dangling. Secure
it behind the appliance so no one steps on or places anything on the cord or against it. Never
unplug the appliance by pulling the cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from
the power point.
Electrical work: If the installation of this appliance requires any electrical work, make sure it is
carried out by a qualified electrician.
