appliance falls over during transport
and installation work, it can cause
serious injuries. At least two people are
required to install the appliance safely.
Keep the doors of the appliance shut
until the appliance is positioned and
level at its installation location.
Installation location
The appliance should be placed in a
dry room that can be ventilated. The
installation location should not be
directly exposed to the sun and should
not be near a heat source such as a
stove or radiator. If installation next to a
heat source is unavoidable, use a
suitable insulating plate or maintain the
following minimum distances from the
heat source:
n 3cm from an electric or gas
cooker,
n 30cm from oil or solid fuel cookers.
If the appliance is being installed next
to another refrigerator or freezer,
maintain a minimum distance between
the sides of the two appliances of
25mm. This prevents the formation of
condensation.
If there is a cover or cupboard above
the appliance, there must be a gap of
10mm to enable the appliance to be
pulled out if necessary.
The heated air must be able to escape
unimpeded from the rear of the
