Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free
room.

condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part
of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at
least 5 cm between the sides and any furniture/side
walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat
(direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between
the appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers
supplied in the installation kit, following the instructions

with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located
on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
• The voltage must be in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left
side (e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance).
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, make the
necessary adjustments by tightening or loosening the
single foot at the front of the appliance.
