5 Installation

⚠ WARNING! Fire hazard

Damage to the refrigerant circuit at the back of the cooling device causes a fire hazard as the cooling agent is highly flammable. To avoid a damage to the refrigerant circuit due to instability of the cooling device, always fix the cooling device in accordance with the instructions.
When positioning the device, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the device.
A NOTICE! Risk of damage When carrying the cooling device handle it with special care.
Carry the cooling device with two people.
Only carry the cooling device upright.
Be careful not to damage the technical components located at the backside.

NOTICE! Risk of damage Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prong) adapters.

The cooling device is designed for free-standing installation, but can be built-in if the following conditions are complied with to ensure satisfactory operation and maximum cooling efficiency.

The cooling device must be levelled carefully to ensure proper function.
For the glass door version: When ambient humidity is above 65 % in 25 °C ambient temperature, moisture will condense on the door.
The socket outlet for the mains connection must be freely accessible.
When the cooling device is positioned, the supply cord must not be trapped or damaged.
Ventilation (fig. 3, page 4)
Ventilation must be provided as shown in alternatives A, B, C or D.
Ventilation grills (1), if used, must have openings of at least 200 cm² each.
The minimum clearance between the cooling device`s back and the surrounding structure should be as follows:
The ventilation duct must at least measure 105 mm x the width of the cooling device.
Only the entire cooling unit must project into the ventilation duct as shown.
Air passing through the ventilation duct must not be preheated by any source of heat.
The ventilation duct must be kept free from any obstacles. Especially portable multi socket outlets or portable power supplies, which can get warm, must not be kept at the rear of the cooling device.
