allow for proper ventilation of the appliance. For proper ventilation of the
appliance, leave a space of at least 10 cm between the sides of the
appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Electrical and Earth Connection
The appliance should not be turned on right after transportation. Two
hours is the advised time so that the oil from the motor-compressor gets
back to its original position.
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure that the
voltage indicated on the rating plate, located in the back of the appliance,
corresponds to the mains voltage in your home and that the socket is
fitted with a standard earth wire in accordance with safety standards. If
the socket is not fitted with an earth wire, the manufacturer will not be
held liability for any damages and or injuries arising out of the use of the
appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access the socket
where it is plugged in.
Insufficient power
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum power load of
the appliance, which is indicated on the rating plate located inside the
appliance.
C Thermometer

Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods.
Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the
cooler and cause condensation to form.
Avoid opening the cooler lid when not necessary.
