3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location
When selecting a location for your appliance you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the
room is well ventilated. A distance between your device and the wall of 10 cm must be respected.
An average ambient temperature must be observed.
This temperature is specific according to the climatic class of the device:
N-ST: This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10
°C to 38 °C
Avoid locating your fridge near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler or radiator. Also, avoid direct sunlight
in out-buildings or sun lounges. If you are placing your fridge in an out-building such as a garage or
annex ensure that the Fridge is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur
on the cabinet.
Never place the fridge in a wall recessed or into fitted cabinets or furniture when your fridge is
working, the grille at the back may become hot and the sides warm. It must therefore be installed so
that the back of the fridge has at least 10 cm of free space and the sides have 10 cm.
Do not drape the fridge with any covering.
Recommendation combination:
The following combination of drawers, baskets, and shelves is recommended for energy to be used
as efficiently as possible by the refrigeration unit.
Leveling the fridge
If the fridge is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected and may cause you
fridge to work incorrectly. Once the fridge is placed in its final location, adjust the leveling feet at the
front by turning them.
Cleaning before use
Wipe the inside of the fridge with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water
using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in warm soapy water and dry
completely before replacing in the fridge.
Before plugging in
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the fridge.
DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FRIDGE.
The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30 minutes
before switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.
Before filling your fridge
Before storing foods in your fridge, turn the fridge on and wait for 4 hours, to make sure it is
working properly and to allow the fridge to fail to the correct temperature.
