Installation
Unpacking
When the refrigerator is installed or in
use, all packaging material should be
dispose of properly.
Choosing the location
Place the refrigerator close to a
grounded outlet. Do not use any
adaptor or extension.
Install the refrigerator in a well-
ventilated area, away from direct
sunlight and from heat sources, such
as ovens and burners, from
inflammable materials, and from areas
where water is frequently used, such
as sinks. The minimum distance of the
freezer all around should be 10cm
from walls or any objects.
Leveling the refrigerator
Install the refrigerator on a completely
level and solid surface. The door must
be closed when leveling the refrigerator
Use a level with glass-enclosed bubble
to verify whether the refrigerator is
properly leveled, with the four feet firmly
on the floor.
If the refrigerator needs to be adjusted,
carefully lean it and turn the front
adjustable leveling feet until it is firmly
installed.
Proper leveling prevents movement,
vibration and other problems.
Do not substitute the original
19
refrigerator legs.
Wait at least 2 hours before plugging the
refrigerator in this will prevent operating
problems.
Electrical installation
Before turning on the refrigerator, check
to see if the voltage of the outlet to be
used is the same as that indicated on the
tag located close to the plug (along the
power cord) or on the refrigerator's
identification label.
Check to see that the refrigerator's plug
is not connected on top of the power
cord.
Connect the refrigerator to its own
outlet. Do not use an extension cord or
adaptor plug.
For your safety, ask an electrician to
verify the condition of the electric wiring
in the area where the refrigerator will be
installed.
The wires leading to the outlet into which
the refrigerator will be plugged should
be made of copper and be at least 2,5
2
mm wide. For greater safety, consult
the legislation on electrical installations
in your country.
