1. INSTALLATION

1.1 Location

When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the

room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. stove, boiler or radiator.

Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient

temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in

a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.

When installing the unit, be sure that 7¾ in. of free space is left at both sides, 7¾ in. at the rear

and 12 in. at the top of the unit. This will allow cold air to circulate around the appliance and

improve the efficiency of the cooling process.

◆ Adjust the two leveling feet to their highest position.

◆ To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the unit on

something solid so that it will not slip during the door reversing process.
