50mm

To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space on
both sides and above the appliance.

The distance between the rear of the appliance and the
wall behind the appliance should be at least 50mm.

A reduction of this space will increase the Energy
consumption of product.

1.2. INSTALLING TWO APPLIANCES

During installing the freezer
together ensure that the freezer is located on the left
and the fridge on the right (as shown on the drawing).
Left side of refrigerator is equipped with special device
in order to avoid condensation problems between
appliances.

We recommended installing two appliances together
using the linking-kit

2.4. DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer should be defrosted once or twice a year or
when excessive frost is present (3 mm thickness).
The formation of frost is normal.
The amount and rate at which frost accumulates
depends on room conditions and how often the door
is open.

3.1. HOW TO INCREASE FREEZER STORAGE
CAPACITY

You can increase storage capacity in the freezer
compartment by:

• removing the baskets / flaps* to allow the storage of
big products.

shelves.

• removing bottle rack*.

3.2. NOTES

• Do not block the air outlet area (on the back wall
inside the product) with food products.
