PUTTING INTO OPERATION

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT!
Never move the appliance by grasping the handle of the lid.

Position the device where it is protected from sunlight and other heat sources, since operation may be disturbed if the ambient temperature exceeds +25°C.

• The appliance should not be operated in rooms where the temperature drops below +10°C since this disrupts the lubrication of the compressor.

Leave at least 10 cm space between the appliance’s sidewalls/roof/back and neighboring surfaces such as other devices, walls, furniture, and ceiling to provide free air flow behind the device to enable proper operation. If the furnishing of the room allows positioning only close to the heat source the following minimum clearances must be kept:

•  Put a 0.5-1 cm thick insulation board between two devices if they are 3 cm or less apart.
•  Min. 30 cm from oil or coal-fired ovens.

IMPORTANT!
If the humidity is above 60%, condensation may occur on the glass.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance may be connected to 220-240 V, 50 Hz mains via a properly mounted grounded socket. Check if the voltage meets the local voltage and make sure that the connecting cable isn’t stuck anywhere.
A fuse/circuit breaker of 10 A is required for the operation of the appliance.

• If the connection cable is damaged or it has to be extended, the job must be done by a qualified electrician to avoid dangerous situations.

Do not use an extension cord! The appliance must be positioned in a way that the main plug is easily accessible.
