INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION SELECTING THE ROOM • Do not install the refrigerator where temperatures will be below 55°F or above 110°F, because it will not maintain proper temperatures, and the refrigerator could develop high internal humidity. Warning: Make sure the room where the appliance is installed is large enough. There should be at least 1 m3 of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is stated on the rating plate in the appliance interior. > 90° 721903 INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE Appliance installation should be carried out by at least two persons to avoid any physical injury or damage to the appliance. • The appliance must stand level or tilted slightly to the back, stable on a solid max 30 mm base. At the front, the appliance is fitted with two adjustable legs that can be used to level the appliance. At the rear side, casters allow for easier installation of the appliance (only with some models). • There should be a clearance of at least 5 cm (2 ) between the appliance and any cupboard installed above it, in order to allow adequate cooling of the condenser unit. • The appliance is supplied with two spacers which should be installed on the lower part of the housing to prevent the installer from pushing the appliance too close to the wall. Appliance may also be installed without the spacers; however, this may increase power consumption. • Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight and do not place it near any source of heat. If this cannot be avoided, install an insulation panel. 10
