							Do not place any items that produce
heat on top of the appliance (such
as a toaster or microwave). This will
increase the amount of energy the
appliance consumes.
This fridge/freezer should not be
placed in a side-by-side formation
with a second model. Because the
appliance does not have heated
side walls, a side-by-side
arrangement can lead to the
build-up of condensation water.
Contact your dealer for advice.
Location
The appliance should not be installed
directly next to a heat source (such as
a stove/oven or a radiator), or in direct
sunlight. The higher the adjacent
temperature, the more energy the
appliance requires to keep cool.
Choose a dry, well-ventilated room for
installation.
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain temperature range
(room temperature), and should not be
used outside this range. The climate
range is stated on the model plate
inside the appliance.

If the room is too cold, it will cause the
cooling system in the appliance to
switch off for too long. This can cause
the internal temperature to rise.
Proper ventilation

warm. In order to ensure adequate
ventilation, you must ensure that the
vents are not covered or blocked in any
way. Also, the vents must be
dusted/cleaned on a regular basis.
