How to install the refrigerator/freezer correctly
Good advises
Level and firm surface
Place the refrigerator / freezer directly on a level and firm surface to avoid vibration and noise. Make sure the cabinet is leveled correctly.
Dry and well ventilated room
Make sure there is good ventilation around the cabinet.
Place the cabinet in a dry and ventilated room. Avoid placing it on balconies, verandas, outbuildings, garages and terraces: Excessive summer heat and severe winter cold can prevent the fridge / freezer from working optimally or even damage it.
Avoid heat sources
It is not recommended placing it near a heat sources such as an oven or a radiator, as this can lead to increased energy consumption.
