[. . . ] If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at the back for the water line connections. If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 12 ½" (5. 08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open. See "3. 3 Positioning and levelling the appliance". 7 Instructions for the Installer The temperature conditions are listed in the table below: Class Ambient temperature SN (Subnormal) from + 50° F to + 89° F N (Normal) from + 61° F to + 89° F ST (Subtropical) from + 64° F to + 100° F T (Tropical) from + 64° F to + 109° F · · The refrigerator must be placed at least 1 1/6" from electric or gas cookers and at least 11 5/6" from combustion or radiation heating systems. To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the refrigerator must not be positioned too close to the wall. To prevent this, the appliance comes aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa complete with two plastic spacers which must be fitted to the top of the aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa condenser (pic. If the refrigerator is installed underneath a wall aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa cupboard, its distance from it must be at least 2". aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa pic. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) on position 0 (STOP) and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. 9 Instructions for the user 4. The light comes on even if the refrigerator thermostat is set on "0" (STOP), meaning that the refrigerator is switched off. 4. 8 Operating noise The refrigerator and freezer are cooled by means of a compressor system. In order to maintain the preset temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer sections, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes. Another normal refrigerator operating noise is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is perfectly normal and does not mean that the appliance is malfunctioning. If it is over-loud, there may be other causes. In this case, check that: · The refrigerator is properly leveled on the floor and does not vibrate when the compressor is in operation: adjust the feet provided as appropriate; · The drawers, shelves and door boxes are correctly fitted and securely in place: fit correctly; · Bottles and containers on the various shelves are stable and not touching: the vibration due to operation of the compressor may generate some noise; 11 Instructions for the user 5. REFRIGERATOR USE 5. 1 Using the controls The knob in the top right-hand corner of the refrigerator is used to set the operating temperature both in the refrigerator and in the freezer (pic. When the knob is turned to 0 (STOP), the appliance is switched off. These numbers do not mean temperatures, but just operating levels. The temperature inside the appliance gets reduced by increasing the operating level: The lowest temperature will therefore be reached by positioning the knob on 7. [. . . ] 3 Clean the refrigerator, wipe it and dry it well. 4 Tape rubber or wood blocks to the top of the door to prop it open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up. 6. 6. 2 Moving When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move: 1 Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry ice.
