Your new appliance is a FULLY FROST FREE model designed exclusively for domestic use, i.e. both

refrigerator and freezer compartments are provided with an automatic defrosting function.

This manual contains indications and warnings for correct and safe installation of the appliance – please

read it carefully before starting any installation.

Keep this manual for future consultation. If you sell the appliance please give it to the new buyer.

Because of the weight of the appliance, at least 2 people are required to safely move/install it.

Installation of the appliance must be carried out by a qualified engineer.

Your refrigerator was packed carefully for shipment.

Remove and discard shelf packaging and tape. Do not remove the serial plate.

Measuring the Opening

When installing your refrigerator, please measure carefully.

One-half inch (1.5 cm) of air space should be provided for the top and back of the refrigerator.

Note: 60 cm deep models

Trim corners of countertop to a 45° angle if countertop has 25 mm overhang. Provide 5 mm clearance on

both sides of refrigerator, and allow 7 mm on top for ease of installation and leveling. No minimum

clearance is required at the rear of the cabinet.

Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than

anticipated. Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling procedure (see Leveling. P23).

IMPORTANT: If the refrigerator is to be installed into a recess where the top of the refrigerator is

completely covered, Measure the dimension from floor, to top of hinge cap to ensure proper clearance.

Transporting Your Refrigerator

• NEVER transport the refrigerator on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay the refrigerator

on its back. Allow the refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 2 hours before plugging it in to allow

the coolant to return into the compressor. Plugging the refrigerator in immediately may cause damage

to internal parts.

• Use an appliance dolly when moving the refrigerator. ALWAYS truck the refrigerator from its side or

back–NEVER from its front as the doors will be damaged.

• Protect outside finish of the refrigerator during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting

padding between the refrigerator and dolly.

• Secure the refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through handles

when possible. Do not overtighten. Overtightening the restraints may dent or damage outside finish.
