Installation3.5.2004 Rev. 1.05. Installation5.1 General information5.2 Transport and storageEnsure that installation is performed according to the instructions given under chapter"Recommendations on how to best operate the appliance (2000/40/EC)", "Installationtips". We remind you that insufficient airflow will certainly result in appliance malfunctionor damage.Once the appliance has been installed, ensure that it is not resting on the power cord.In the event of damage, the power cord should only be replaced by qualified personnelwith a special cable or cable assembly available from the manufacturer.Ensure compliance with all local safety rules in force at the time of installation.Prior to plugging in the appliance, ensure that the power distribution network ratingsmatch the values shown on the appliance’s rating plate.It is absolutely necessary that the appliance be connected to an effective earth (ground)connection. To this end, the power cord plug is equipped with a grounding contact. If thepower socket (outlet) of the system is not grounded (earthed), connect the appliance to aseparate grounding (earthing) system in compliance with applicable regulations in force.Ask for a qualified technician’s advice.The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of non-compliance with this accidentpreventionrule.You must always be able to disconnect the appliance from power supply; therefore, oncethe appliance has been installed the power socket (outlet) should be easily accessible.If possible, do not unpack the appliance until it is placed near the final installation site. Donot tip it over.If the appliance has been tipped over, wait for a while until oil settles down again.The appliance should always be stored in sheltered areas.If the appliance was stored in a cold place, thus causing the temperature of the refrigerationunit to fall below 0°C (32°F), prior to start using the appliance keep it at room temperaturefor at least one hour so that the refrigeration unit will warm up to +16°C (61°F).Turning on the appliance when temperature is excessively low may result in compressormalfunction.10

Installation3.5.2004 Rev. 1.05.3 Unpacking the appliance5.4 InstallationUnpack the appliance and check for transport damage. Remove the protective film fromthe appliance’s body.Packing materials (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) should be kept out of children’sreach as they are potential sources of hazard, and they should be properly recycledin compliance with local regulations in force.Place the appliance in its final installation site.When lifting the appliance with a suitable mechanical device, ensure that the structure atthe base is undamaged.Level the appliance using its adjustable feet. Use a level, if needed. The maximum permissibledeviation from the horizontal plane is +/-0.5 degrees. All four feet should be restingon the floor. This will ensure proper door operation.5.4.1 Cleaning5.5 Electrical connectionsPrior to use, clean the inside, the shelves and the outside with a cloth and wipe dry. Toclean use a neutral or slightly alkaline detergent.5.6 First turn-onThe appliance may be switched on three hours after installation. Plug the appliance into agrounded outlet (earthed socket). To do so, you will need to have a power outlet (socket)with a built-in 16A-fuse fitted upstream of the system. Check that power supply voltagematches the value shown on the appliance’s rating plate.Check that a circuit breaker switch having a contact gap of at least 3 mm is fitted upstreamof the power socket (outlet).Turn on the appliance using the main switch. After 1 minute, the compressor will start cyclinguntil internal temperature reaches the factory-set value. Do not load the applianceuntil the set temperature value has been reached. If you need to change any factory-set parameters,please read the instructions given under chapter "Adjustment instructions".11

Installation3.5.2004 Rev. 1.05.7 Connections for “Remote cooling”5.7.1 Electrical connectionsThe version with a control panel incorporates an electronic thermostat, switches, warninglights and indicators according to what has been specified under the chapter 3.2 “Construction”section. In this case the unit must be connected to a motor-driven condensingunit.Connect to terminals M on the compressor and on the electric condenser fan.5.7.2 Connecting refrigerant pipesSuction pipesLay down the suction line according to the established layout making sure that the numberof elbows and vertical sections where the refrigerant flows upward is limited to the veryminimum. Weld the suction line to the appliance exits jutting out of the side, provided forthis purpose. The suction pipe is generally to be distinguished from the liquid line by itsdiameter: it is the larger of them. Repeat the operation on the condensing unit. The verticalsections of the suction pipe shall be equipped with a trap and counter- trap to make oiltrapping easier and prevent it from flowing back to the evaporator when the compressoris off due to the thermostatic control.Please bear in mind that the only method applicable to vertical pipe sections where therefrigerant flows upward to make sure the oil returns to the compressor and prevent iffrom seizing due to insufficient lubrication, consists in “pulling” the oil by exploiting gasspeed.Liquid lineLay the liquid line pipes according to the established layout making sure that the numberof elbows and vertical sections where the refrigerant flows upward is limited to the veryminimum. Braze the liquid line pipe to the appliance outlet pipe located where the especiallyprovided protruding section is. The liquid line pipe can generally be distinguishedfrom the suction pipe by its diameter: it is the smaller one. Repeat the operation for thecondensing unit.5.7.3 Suggestions• SLANT: the horizontal sections of the suction pipes shall have a 0.5% slant towardsthe compressor to ensure oil back flow.• ELBOWS: to reduce pressure drops to a minimum, include as few elbows in yourline as possible and if you do, use large radius elbows only.• THERMAL INSULATION: the liquid line shall be insulated if exposed to the sunor if passing through areas where temperature is higher than condenser outlet temperatur12
