Before using for the fi rst time
∙ Remove any packaging materials including the adhesive
strips as well as any protective plastic foils found.
∙ Before it is connected to the mains, the unit must be
thoroughly checked for transport damage, including its
power cord.
∙ Clean the unit as described in the section De-frosting and
cleaning.
∙ Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30
minutes before it is connected to the mains.
∙ If the unit has been tilted more than 30° during transport,
allow it to stand upright for at least 4 hours before it is
connected to the mains.
∙ When the unit is fi rst switched on, a slight 'new' smell may
be noticed. However, this will disappear once the cooling
process has begun.
Installation
∙ The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry
room.
∙ It should be operated in conditions where the relative
humidity is no more than 70 %.
∙ The product data sheet contains details of the ambient
temperature range suitable for this appliance.
∙ Do not use the appliance outdoors. Ensure that the plug is
accessible and can be removed from the wall socket at any
time.
∙ Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight, and do not
position it next to any heat sources (radiators, cookers etc).
If this cannot be avoided, however, suitable insulation must be
in installed between the heat source and the unit.
∙ The unit must not be installed inside a cupboard; when
positioning the unit, also ensure that it is not placed directly
underneath a shelf or any other similar object.
∙ Ensure that there is suffi cient space in front for the door to
open to 160°.
∙ In the case of uneven fl oors, the adjustable feet at the front
can be used to compensate and ensure optimum stability.
Ventilation
Ensure that there is enough space around the unit so that the air
circulation round and behind it is not obstructed. (Rear and sides 5
cm, top 10 cm.)
Reversible door
The design provides for the door to be reversed, i.e. for right-
hinged (default installation) to become left-hinged.
Warning: Always disconnect the unit from the mains before
any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
