Location and Installation

• The cabinet should be placed in a room that is dry and sufficiently ventilated. To operate efficiently it should not be positioned in direct sunlight or near warm appliances. Please note that optimal cabinet performance is obtained at an ambient temperature between +16 °C and +35 °C.
• Freezer, Refrigerator: By placing the cabinet in an environment with high air humidity, it may be necessary to acquire extra equipment for the evaporation of the drip water in the pan near the compressor.
• The cabinet can be installed freestanding against a wall.

Important
The cabinet must have sufficient ventilation and free air circulation beneath, above, and behind the cabinet. The legs under the cabinet will help ensure sufficient air space.

• Remove the appliance from the packaging. Make sure that all protective plastic film and coatings are thoroughly removed from all surfaces. To prevent injury or damage to the unit, we recommend that the appliance should be unpacked and set up by two people.
• The appliance should be placed on a solid level floor to reduce noise and vibration. Level the appliance by adjusting the screw feet.
• Check that the power supply and voltage used comply with the details on the rating plate. The plug must be accessible after installation
• Correctly connect and disconnect the plug. When inserting ensure the plug is fully engaged. When unplugging do so by holding the body of the plug. Never pull the supply cord directly.
• If the appliance is to be shut down for a long period, switch it off and disconnect the plug from the socket outlet. Clean the appliance and leave the door open to prevent odor.
• Important! For your safety, this appliance must be properly grounded (earthed). This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly grounded and installed. Consult a qualified electrician or service center if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions. If doubt exists whether the appliance is properly grounded, have a qualified electrician check the circuit to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
• If the cable does not reach the nearest socket, either rearrange your store layout or ask a qualified electrician to fix a new socket.
• If power is cut off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the appliance to avoid damaging the compressor.

Note: If the unit has not been stored or moved in an upright position, let it stand upright for approximately 12 hours before operation.
Note: Before using the appliance for the first time, clean the shelves and interior with soapy water.

Power Requirements

The cabinet is intended for connection to an alternating current. The connection voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) are shown on the nameplate in the cabinet. The power connection is made using a three-pin plug to a wall socket. Any requirement for earthing from the local power supply must be met. The cabinet plug and wall socket should then give the correct earthing. If you are in doubt, contact your local supplier or authorized electrician. Warning – This appliance must be earthed
The flexible cord fitted to this appliance has three cores for use with a 3-pin 13 Amp plug. If a B.B. 1363 (13 Amp) fused plug is used, it should be fitted with a 13 Amp fuse or a molded right-angled Schuko plug. Note the plate with a hole in it between and above the two pins – this connects to French and Belgian sockets, which have an earth pin that sticks out. Running in a slot coming from that plate is a continuation strip from the plate. Other European countries use a socket with a scrolled metal connector emerging from the side which mates with that strip. This ensures that the Schuko can be used in most mainland European countries.
