3. INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Before installing the appliance, carefully review the safety information (chapter 1).
1. Unpack
Remove the packaging materials and dispose of them properly. Check that the appliance is not damaged. Do not
connect the appliance if it is damaged. Report any damage immediately to the salesperson via customer service. In
that case, keep the packaging.
2. Location
•
The location where you place your appliance should be well ventilated.
•
Always move the appliance with two people. Use two hands when moving, lifting or turning the appliance.
•
Do not place the appliance near a heat source, such as a stove or boiler, and avoid direct sunlight, so as to
guarantee the cooling effect and save on energy consumption.
•
Do not place the appliance in a damp place so that it cannot rust and there is no leakage current.
•
Do not use the appliance outdoors. This appliance is only intended for use indoors.
3. Installation of the appliance
•
This appliance is not intended for use as a built-in appliance.
•
Use only the original accessories provided for the installation.
•
To reverse the direction in which the door opens, go to section 3.2.
•
During operation, the appliance emits heat to the environment. Therefore there must
be at least 3 cm clearance on the top, at least 10 cm on both sides and at least 5
cm on the back of the appliance (see also section 2.1).
•
Use the front adjusting legs to level the appliance. If the appliance is not level, it is
possible that the door may not close properly, reducing the cooling performance of
the appliance. If the appliance is not level, this can also lead to malfunctions.
•
Make sure that the power cable is not stuck or damaged during installation or
positioning the appliance.
•
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. The plug
must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
•
Always place the appliance on a moisture-resistant and dry surface.
•
Place the appliance on a firm and flat surface (floor) so that it is stable, otherwise
vibrations and noise may occur. When placing the appliance on floor coverings such
as carpets, straw mats or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), place a solid sheet or cover under
the appliance to prevent colour change due to heat dissipation.
4. Clean
Before putting the appliance into use, clean the interior and all associated accessories with lukewarm water and
neutral soap. Dry everything carefully. Do not use solvents or abrasive powders; these may damage the coating.
5. Wait
On first installation (or after turning the door) wait at least four hours before plugging in the appliance. This allows
the oil to flow back into the compressor.
6. Switch on
Before plugging in the power cable, check that the voltage and frequency of the type plate match your power
supply network. Only connect the appliance to an earthed power socket. After one hour, open the door of the
appliance. If the temperature in the appliance is noticeably lower, this indicates that the cooling system is operating
normally.
7. Storing food
See Section 4 "Use".
