heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat
sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold or hot ambient
temperatures may also cause the appliances not to perform properly.

directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized products service
center.

connect a damaged appliance. Inform your retailer or point of sale of any
damage. In such a case, keep the packaging.
• It is recommended that the appliance be allowed to settle for at least 24 hours
before connecting the electrical power supply, so that the compressor fluid
feed is correct.
• Proper air circulation is necessary to avoid overheating. To ensure sufficient
ventilation, observe the installation recommendations provided.
• In order to avoid fire risk, wherever possible, ensure that the appliance is not
in contact with walls or with any hot element (compressor, condenser).
Observe the installation recommendations.
• The appliance should not be placed close to radiators or cooking hot plates
or gas rings.
