2. INSTALLTION
2.1 Location
When selecting a position for your unit, please make sure the floor is flat and firm. The room
should be well ventilated with an ambient room temperature between 61°F and 100°F. Avoid
locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it
may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold temperatures may cause the unit not to
perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape
the unit with any covering.
Please keep a clearance of 8 inches on both sides, 6 inches in the rear and 8 inches above the unit.
This allows for proper air circulation around the refrigerator and improves the unit’s cooling
efficiency. The door can be opened to the right or the left, depending on what better suits the
location. Please ensure there is adequate space for the door to fully open.
