EN
please read these operating instructions carefully.
They contain important information for safe use, for
installation and for care of the appliance.

reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the
appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-
free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor
and condenser give off heat and require good
ventilation to operate correctly and save energy.
3. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of
heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the
refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front feet.

Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully
place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting
the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of
the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate
located on the right side of the horizontal surface in
the top compartment, under the thermostat (e.g.
150 W).
• The voltage is within the range of values indicated
on the data plate located on the right side of the
horizontal surface in the top compartment, under
the thermostat (e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it (see
Assistance). Do not use extension cords or
multiple sockets.

supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced
by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should
these safety measures not be observed.
