4. DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE (fig.1)
A1 B G A B D E C G
The label showing the serial number and the technical data is placed inside the refrigerator.
The first four digits of the serial number identify the year and the week of manufacture.
5. INSTALLATION
Installation key: the presence of the letters I and L in the model code indicate the version
relating to the type of installation envisaged
Ensure that the refrigerator is not damaged when opening the packaging after receiving
the product. Any transportation damage must be reported promptly to the reseller and,
in any case, within 24 hours of taking delivery of the appliance.
Handle the product with the utmost care and attention.
When positioning the refrigerant unit (in refrigerator models with a remote refrigerant
system), take precautions to avoid obstructions and breaking the connection pipes.
Always position the refrigerator and the remote refrigerant unit (in the versions with such
a solution) on a horizontal surface that can support the weight of the appliance and its
22 ENG
eventual contents. Once installation has been completed, check that the refrigerator
is not resting on a power cable. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced
immediately by someone from the technical service centre or by someone suitably
qualified, in order to avoid any risk.
Place the refrigerator away from heat sources ensuring that it has enough ventilation as
in the following installation examples.
Once the refrigerator has been positioned, wait at least one hour before switching it on.
ENG 23
The recess must respect the minimum distances between the appliance and the
surrounding structure and it must have suitable ventilation openings communicating
directly with the open space in the room, in order to obtain correct air circulation by
means of the chimney effect, as indicated in annex 2 - figure 2
The recess must ensure that all possible live parts of the appliance are not directly
accessible as well as the ventilation openings, by fitting them with suitable grilles.
The grilles must have openings with max. dimension of 5 mm.
The envisioned ventilation openings are:
1. with dimension no less than 120 mm in height for the dimension of the refrigeration
in width if positioned behind, which must always be associated to another opening
of at least 120x12 mm positioned on the side of the condenser (anx.2 - fig.2).
La distanza minima tra le varie parti dell’apparecchio e la struttura di incasso non deve
essere inferiore a 75mm. (anx.2 - fig.2)
For recess situations in spaces where the minimum distance of 75mm is respected only
in the rear part of the appliance, make the ventilation openings on the same side
respecting the indications for the position, number and dimensions shown in fig.2.
For recess situations with surfaces in contact with the upper and lower parts of the
appliance, make the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the appliance as
indicated in fig.2.
In all the situations of the described ventilation openings, only the minimum distance of
75mm from the sides of the appliance may not be observed.
24 ENG
Appliance recess for campers, caravans and motor-homes.
To install the refrigerator or fridge units in a caravan, camper van, motor home etc.
make the recess space in the vehicle with ventilation vents directly on the outside, fitted
with suitable grilles to ensure that all possible live parts of the appliance are not directly
accessible (thermostat, electronic module and fan).
The grilles must have openings with max. dimension of 5mm and be on at least one side
(see annex 2 fig. 1-2-3).
6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
ATTENTION (only for models with alternating current):
The operator must be able to disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity.
Make sure that there is an access point to the mains electricity and/or that the plant has
a 6A differential magnetothermal switch with minimum 3 mm opening of the contacts.
Before connecting the product, make sure that the voltage corresponds to that shown
on the identification label or that shown on the label on the compressor.
IMPORTANT: by law, the appliance must be grounded. Make sure that the grounding
system for the electrical network is working perfectly.
We accept no responsibility whatsoever for any injury to people or damage to property
deriving from the failure to properly comply with this regulation.
The use of adaptors, multiple sockets and extension cords is not recommended.
In the event that the appliance’s plug and the socket are not compatible, replace the
plug with a suitable one.
This operation must be done by a suitably qualified person who must ensure that the
cable section of the plug is appropriate to the power absorbed by the appliance.
Do not interconnect any other type of appliance to the refrigerator.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION FOR 12-24Vdc and 12-24 Vdc / 100-240 Vac 50/60Hz models
It is recommended to connect the 12Vdc or 24Vdc power supply line directly to the
battery by following the corresponding instructions of the supplied control unit (see
annex 4).
ENG 25
Prepare the alternating current power supply line using three-pole cable with minimum
section per wire of 1 mm2 and suitable isolation for the methods and environment of use
and compliant with the regulations in force.
Make the connection to the AC power line by means of a plug connection with an
adequate flow rate compliant with current regulations or prepare an omnipolar
magnetothermal differential switch with a capacity of 6 amps and with contact opening
of at least 3 mm or nevertheless in compliance with current regulations.
Once installation has been completed, check the continuity of the earth circuit and
carry out all the electrical safety tests provided for by current regulations.
Protect and lock the cables in order to prevent accidental pulling of the cable from
disconnecting it from the connections or coming into contact with hot parts with a
temperature above 50°C or with sharp parts.
It is recommended that the installation of the power supply lines is carried out by qualified
personnel who will check the compliance of the unit with the regulations in force and
issue the relative certifications of conformity.
7. START-UP
Once the plug is connected to the power outlet, the fridge will start-up automatically in
thermostat mode and no further operations are required for its correct operations.
For a reasonable arrangement and storage of food follow the table below:
