3.1 Installation and Preparing to Use
the Appliance for the First Time
> Make sure there is enough space around the
refrigerator for it to operate properly. A free space
of 25/64'' (10 mm) is required behind the appliance
so that air can circulate and cool the compressor.
Space above the refrigerator should be at least 1
3/16" (30 mm).
> Make sure that the appliance is placed in a level
position by screwing in the 2 adjustable front legs.
3.2 Minimum distances from heat
sources
> from electric and gas ovens: 1 3/16'' (30 mm);
> from oil- or coal-fired ovens:11 13/16'' (300 mm);
> from built-in ovens: 1 31/32'' (50 mm).
Installation must be performed carefully and exactly
as specified, with nothing left to interpretation.
3.3 Connecting to the power supply
> Prior to connection, it is recommended to set the
temperature control knob to "OFF" or to another
position that shuts the appliance off from the power

> This appliance should be connected to an AC
110-120V 60HZ power outlet. The socket must

> It is a legal requirement that the appliance be
properly grounded. The manufacturer will not be
held liable for any damage or injury which may
result from failure to meet this requirement.

extension leads. If it is necessary to use an extension
lead, it must be equipped with a protection ring and
a single socket and must have a VDE/GS safety
certificate.
> If an extension lead is used (with a protection ring
and safety certificate), its socket must be located
at a safe distance, away from sinks, and must not
be in a place where it could be exposed to water or
wastewater.
