Installation information
Do not place any devices that
produce heat (such as a toaster or
microwave) on top of the appliance.
This would increase the energy
consumption of the appliance!
If the room is too cold, it will cause the
cooling system in the appliance to
switch off for too long. This may lead to
higher temperatures in the appliance
and the frozen food may even start
thawing!
This fridge/freezer should not be
placed side-by-side with a second
model.
Because the appliance does not
have heated side walls, a
side-by-side arrangement can lead
to the build-up of condensation
water.
Contact your dealer for advice.

The appliance should not be installed
directly next to a heat source (such as
a kitchen range or a heater) or in direct

installation.
