Installation Safety

• To prepare the product for use, see the information in the user and installation manual and make sure the electric and water utilities are as required. If not, call a qualified electrician and plumber to arrange the utilities as necessary.
• Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, problems with the product, or injury.
• Before starting the installation, switch off the fuse to de-energise the power line to which the product is connected.
• The product should be installed by two or more people. Use protective gloves while removing the product from the packaging and installation.
• This product is designed for use at a maximum altitude of 2000 metres above sea level.
• Keep children away from installation area.
• Check for any damage on the product before installing it. Do not have the product installed if it is damaged.
• Always use personal protective equipment (gloves, etc.) during product installation, maintenance and repair. Risk of injury.
• Do not install or leave the product in places where it may be exposed to external ambient temperatures.
• Place the product on a clean, level and hard surface and balance it with the adjustable legs (by rotating the front feet to the right or left). Otherwise, the refrigerator may tip over and cause injuries.
• Proceed with care to prevent causing any damage to the floors (tiling etc.) while moving the product. Install the product on a floor, or provide sufficient support depending on the size, weight and the use-case of the product. Ensure that the product is not near a heat source, and all four feet are stable and leaning against the floor. Install the product as necessary, and ensure that it is horizontal, using a bubble level. To ensure the complete efficiency of the refrigerant circuit, wait for at least two hours before operating the product.
• The product shall be installed in a dry and ventilated environment. Do not keep carpets, rugs or similar covers under the product. This may cause risk of fire as a result of inadequate ventilation!
• Do not block or cover ventilation holes. Otherwise, power consumption increases and your product may be damaged.
• Leave sufficient space by the sides and above to ensure adequate ventilation. The gap between the back panel and the wall behind the product must be a minimum of 50mm in order to prevent hot surfaces. Reducing this distance may increase the energy consumption of product.
• When placing the product, make sure that the supply cable is not damaged or pinched.
• The product must not be connected to supply systems and power sources which may cause sudden voltage changes (i.e. a portable solar-energy power source). Otherwise, damage to your product may occur as a result of the abrupt voltage fluctuations!
• The more refrigerant a refrigerator contains, the bigger its installation room shall be. In very small rooms, a flammable gas-air mixture may occur in case of a gas leak in the cooling system. At least 1 m³ of volume is required for each 8 grams of refrigerant. The amount of the refrigerant available in your product is specified in the Type Label.
• The product must never be placed in such a way that power cables, the metal hose of the gas stove, metal gas or water pipes come into contact with the product's rear wall (or the condenser).
• The installation place of the product must not be exposed to direct sunlight and it shall not be in the vicinity of a heat source such as stoves, radiators, etc. If you cannot prevent installation of the product in the vicinity of a heat source, use a suitable insulation plate and make sure the minimum distance to the heat source is as specified below:
• At least 30 cm away from heat sources such as stoves, ovens, heating units and heaters, etc.,
• And at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your product has the protection class of I.
• Plug the product in a grounded socket that conforms with the Voltage, Current and Frequency values specified in the type label. The socket must have a 10A – 16A fuse. Our firm will not assume responsibility for any damages due to usage without earthing and without power connection in compliance with local and national regulations.
• The product’s power cable must be unplugged during installation. Otherwise, risk of electric shock and injury may occur!
• Do not plug the product to loose, broken, dirty, greasy sockets or sockets that have come out of their seats or sockets with a risk of water contact. These types of connections may overheat and cause fire..
• Place the power cable and hoses (if any) of the product so that they shall not cause a risk of tripping over.
• Penetration of humidity and liquid to live parts or to the power cord may cause short circuit. Thus, do not use the product in humid environments or in areas where water may splash (e.g. garage, laundry room, etc.) If the refrigerator is wet by water, unplug it and contact an authorized service.
• Do not ever connect your refrigerator to power saving devices. These systems are harmful for the product.
• There is a risk of contact with electrical parts when removing the electronic board cover and the compressor rear cover (if fitted). Do not remove the electronic board cover and the compressor rear cover (if fitted). There is a risk of electrocution!
