4/ BEFORE FIRST USE
UNPACKING
1. Unpack all of the parts.
2. Immediately after unpacking, check for completeness and any damage
sustained during shipping. If your package is damaged or incomplete, please
contact our After-Sales department.
CHOOSING AN APPROPRIATE PLACE
Warning! Position your appliance such that it is not directly exposed to sunlight.
This appliance must not be used outside or be exposed to rain.
Warning! It must be separated by a distance of at least 50 cm between sources
of heat, such as cookers, ovens, radiators and other stoves, and at least 5 cm from
electric ovens.
Warning! When you move the appliance, take care not to roll it over the power
cable or damage it.
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated area, on a dry, stable and flat surface,
away from direct sunlight and any other heat source.
2. Please leave room at the back of the appliance for air to flow. Do not place
it against a wall to avoid noise caused by vibrations. Make sure that air can
always flow freely around the appliance. Insufficient ventilation could cause the
appliance not to work properly and may increase energy consumption. Leave a
space of at least 10 cm between the refrigerator and the wall, and a space of at
least 30 cm between the top of the appliance and the ceiling.
3. If the appliance is placed on an unstable surface, you may adjust the balance of
the appliance by using the levelling foot (3). That will ensure proper operation
free from vibrations.
4. Turn the foot clockwise to raise the appliance. Turn the foot anti-clockwise to
lower the refrigerator (3).
5. Be sure to leave enough space to be able to access and open the door easily. If
necessary, you can change the direction in which the door opens as described
below.
REVERSING THE DOOR OPENING DIRECTION
Warning! During this process, keep all of the parts together and out of the reach of
children.
Tools Required: Philips screwdriver, flat-bladed screwdriver, hexagonal spanner,
socket wrench.
Notes:
■ Ensure the appliance is unplugged and empty.
■ To remove the door, it is necessary to tip the appliance backwards. Rest the unit
on something solid so that it will not slip during the door reversal process.
■ All parts removed must be saved as they are required to reinstall the door.
■ Do not lay the appliance flat as this may damage the coolant system.
■ This is a 2-person task as it will take more than 1 person to handle the appliance
during assembly.
■ This appliance is not designed to be a built-in unit.
