Installing the appliance
Have a technician install and connect the appliance
according to the enclosed installation instructions.
Transporting
The appliances are heavy and must be secured during
transportation and installation.
Because of the weight/dimensions of the appliance
and to minimise the risk of injuries and damage
to the appliance at least two persons are necessary
to set-up the appliance securely.
Installation location
A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation
location. The installation location should not be
exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat
source, e.g. a cooker, 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:
3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
■
30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
■
The floor of the installation location must not give way;
if required, reinforce floor. To ensure that the ice maker
functions correctly, the appliance must be upright.
Ventilation
The refrigeration unit is ventilated only via
the ventilation grille in the base. Never cover
the ventilation grille or place anything in front of it.
Otherwise the refrigeration unit must work harder,
increasing the power consumption.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until
the appliance starts up. During transportation the oil in
the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration
system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time,
clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter
"Cleaning the appliance").

WARNING:
Never connect the appliance to electronic
energy saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains and
sine-controlled inverters. Mains-controlled
inverters are used for photovoltaic systems
which are connected directly to the national grid.
Sine-controlled inverters must be used for
isolated applications (e.g. on ships or
in mountain lodges) which are not connected
directly to the national grid.
