Installation

Connection

Do not install the appliance:

- outdoors,

- in an environment with dripping

water,

- in rooms which are at risk of frost.

The appliance is very heavy - for empty weight see following table:

Bottom Freezer (2-door, 3-door) approx. 430 Ibs/195 kg

Installation room

The appliance should be installed in a dry, well ventilated room.

The ambient temperature should not drop below 55 °F (13 °C) or rise above 110 °F (43 °C), otherwise

malfunctions may occur.

The installation location should not

be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat source, such as

an oven, radiator, etc.

If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable

insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances from the heat source:

- 1.2" (3 cm) from an electric

cooker,

- 12" (30 cm) from an oil or

solid-fuel cooker.

Furnitu re/fixtu res

The new appliance will be mounted securely to adjacent and overhead

furniture/fixtures. For this reason it is essential that all

attachable furniture/fixtures are connected securely to the base or

the wall by suitable means.

Base

To ensure that the appliance is installed securely and functions properly, the base must be fiat and

level. The base must be made of a hard,

rigid material. The installation area must be the

same height as the rest of the room. On account of the heavy weight of

a fully loaded appliance, a load- bearing base is required.

The fully-loaded weight for this appliance is approx. 1110 Ibs/ 500 kg.

If in doubt, contact an architect or

a building expert.

Installing and connecting the appliance

to the power supply

Do the ice cubes have

an unusual odor?

Ice is a porous material which can

absorb odors from the environment.

Ice cubes which have been in the ice

cube container for a long time may absorb such odors, stick together and slowly become smaller.

We recommend that these ice cubes are no longer used.

Other means of preventing odors:

- The ice cube container should be cleaned occasionally with warm

water. Make sure that you switch off the ice maker before cleaning the container. Rinse out and wipe dry.

- Check the contents of the freezer for spoilt or out-of-date food. All

odorous foods should be wrapped thoroughly or stored in

airtight containers to prevent the

build-up of odors.

- The water filter may have to

be replaced in some models.

- In some cases the quality of the water connection in the house

should be checked.

Operating noises

Quite normal noises

Grumbling - refrigerating unit is running. Fan in the recirculating air system is running.

Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises - refrigerant is flowing through the tubes. Water is flowing

into the ice maker. Clicking - motor is switching on or

off. Solenoid valve on the water connection is opening/closing.

Rumbling - ice cubes are falling into the ice cube container.

Noises which can

easily be eliminated

The appliance is not level Level the appliance with the aid of

a spirit level. Use the height-adjustable feet or

piace something underneath. Drawers, baskets or storage areas

wobble or stick Check the removable parts and,
