INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do not connect other equipment plugs behind this
appliance. If the humidity level is high where the
appliance is being used, its exterior surfaces may
become corroded. To prevent corrosion, keep the
installation room dry and well-cleaned.
To prevent the risk of electric shock:
•
Connect the plug to a grounded outlet.
•
Do not remove plug's grounding prong.
•
Do not use adapters.
•
Do not use extension cords.
CAUTION
Do not connect the grounding cable to the
gas line. Please have the grounding
checked by a qualified electrician if you are
not sure about the grounding of the
appliance. Do not install a fuse on the
neutral line or on the grounding circuit.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in fire, electric shock or death.
Connecting
conductor in the wrong place may lead to
electric shock. Please have the grounding
checked by a qualified electrician or service
technician if you have any doubt about the
proper
grounding
Installation, repairs and other procedures
performed by unqualified persons may give
rise to hazards. Before installing the
appliance, make sure that the voltage, load
and circuit current parameters on the data
plate are in compliance with the power
supply in your house.

VENTILATION
The heat removed from the cooling compartment needs to
be dissipated into the air around the appliance. Incorrect
ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure,
excessive power consumption and total system failure, and
it may invalidate the warranty provided with the appliance.
There should be an air intake somewhere inside the
cabinet to allow air into flow freely in.
A cut-out should be made in the base beneath the
appliance and this finished neatly around the air vent grille.
Alternatively, a thin section of the base can be removed to
allow air into the unit (600 x 10 mm).
The top of the cabinet needs to be vented into the room.
If the cabinet does not allow air to flow freely into the room,
then a base vent or other means of ventilation needs to be
provided to ensure a natural flow of air.
There should be space at the rear of the cabinet to allow
cool air to be drawn over the condenser.
Recommended: 500 x 50 mm.
The clearance at the rear of the appliance is clearly shown.
In order for the appliance to operate properly, it is important
that the top of the housing cabinet not be blocked off. A
channel depth of 40-50 mm is normal for most units.
A ventilation hole is required in the base of the cabinet; this
allows for air to be drawn over the compressor and for heat
exchange.
As a rule, the more air can get in and out, the better and
more efficiently the product operates.
NOTE
The air vent at the front of the appliance
must never be covered or blocked in any
way.
