Installation and connection

Selecting the room

Installing the appliance

• The appliance should be installed in a dry and well ventilated room. The appliance will operate correctly if the environment temperature is within the ranges listed in the table below. The appliance class is indicated on the label with the basic information on the appliance.

Class Temperature

SN (subnormal) from +10°C to +32°C N (normal) from +16°C to +32°C ST (subtropical) from +16°C to +38°C T (tropical) from +16°C to +43°C

Appliance installation should be carried out by at least two persons to avoid any physical injury or damage to the appliance.

• The appliance should stand ﬁ rmly in an upright position on a sufﬁ ciently solid base. At the front, the appliance is ﬁ tted with two adjustable legs that can be used to level the appliance (only with some models). Rear side of the appliance is ﬁ tted

with wheels (certain models only) facilitating the positioning of

the appliance at the preselected place.

• If there is a kitchen furniture element above the appliance, there should be a clearance of at least 5 centimeters between this element and the refrigerator, to ensure sufﬁ cient cooling of the condenser unit.

• Two spacers attached to the appliance must be ﬁ tted onto the upper edge of the condenser, thus preventing the appliance from being installed too close to the wall (only some models have it). Spacers are manufactured for all-purpose function depending on the distance of the condenser from the appliance. Therefore turn spacers correspondingly and ﬁ x them to the appliance.

• Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight and do not place it near sources of heat. If this cannot be avoided, install an insulation panel.

• Handles are ﬁ tted under the housing at the front side to make moving the appliance easier (only with some models). The appliance may stand freely or it can be placed next to a kitchen furniture element or a wall. Mind the space required to open the door and pull out the drawers and shelves (see installation diagram).

Remark:

* Applies to OLD TIMER appliances.

Connecting the appliance

260437

• Use the power cord to connect the appliance to the power mains. The wall outlet should be ﬁ tted with a ground contact (safety socket). Nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the label with basic information on the appliance.

• The appliance should be connected to the power mains and grounded in compliance with the relevant effective standards and regulations. The appliance will withstand short-term deviations from the nominal voltages, but not more than from -6 % to +6%.

Changing the door opening direction
