HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR
Electrical connection
This refrigerator is set to work at the nominal voltage indicated on the rating plate inside
the product. Voltage fluctuations should not be greater or less than 10% of the nominal
voltage.
Before connecting the appliance ensure that the data to be found on the rating plate is the
same as the mains supply. The rating plate is to be found inside the product.
In the case of incompatibility between the socket and the plug of the appliance, replace the
socket with another, recommended one by a qualified electrician, who will also verify that
the capacity of the socket wiring is adequate for the power absorbed by the appliance.
The use of multiple socket adapters and/or extension cables is not recommended. The
supply socket of the refrigerator must be properly earthed. This fundamental safety requi-
rement must be verified and, if there are any doubts, the installation should be thoroughly
checked by a professional electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by the appliance not
being earthed.
INSTALLATION
For models where the feet are not already fitted, screw these into the relative threaded
holes under the refrigerator. Ensure that the two front feet are not quite fully screwed
home, so that the refrigerator leans slightly backwards.
Where applicable, fit the appropriate spacers (fig. 1) in order to obtain proper air circula-
tion between the refrigerator and the wall behind: it is also recommended not to block any
ventilation or heat dispersal openings or grilles, leaving a space of at least 5 cm.
Do not install the refrigerator close to sources of heat. Furthermore, do not install the refri-
gerator anywhere where the temperature will be below +16°C or above +38 for long
periods.
Should the cabinet be installed below a wall unit a minimum gap of a 5 cm must be left
either on the back or on the top of the unit to allow air circulation.
