1. If the appliance is brought in from the cold (temperature is not higher than +12 °C), you

should wait for two hours before connecting it to the mains.

2. The appliance should not be connected to the mains until all packing and transport materials

3. Unpack the appliances. Take them off the polystyrene bases. Remove all the packing tape.

4. When placing the appliances into their designated place, slightly tilt them backwards: the

wheels at the back will allow you to easily put them into the desired place. Never lift or push the refrigerator and freezer holding their handles as they may break.

5. Remove the red tape: it is intended for transportation only.

6. Appropriately dispose of the packaging.

7. Take supports 1 out of the bag and insert them into slots 2 at the

top of the back of the appliances (see pic.).

8. Place the refrigerator and freezer about 1 metre off the wall they

will be placed by. Place the appliances side by side, with the freezer on the left and the refrigerator on the right.

9. The component parts necessary for connecting the two appliances are packed with the freezer:

! front strip 1 (Qty: 1) - attached to the back wall of the freezer, behind its condenser;

! top strip-cover 2 with a sticky base (Qty: 1) (in the bag inside the freezer);

! bottom cover 3 (Qty: 1) - (the bag is attached to the freezer condenser);! upper plate 4 (Qty: 1);

! bolts 7 (Qty: 2); self-tapping bolts 8 (Qty: 4); self-tapping bolts 9 (Qty: 2); (in the bag inside the freezer).

IMPORTANT! Before starting to work, adjust their height by turning the outer legs 10 and the inner legs 11 (pic. 2). When legs are turned clockwise, the front of the appliance is raised, when anti-clockwise, it is lowered. Make sure that both appliances are stable. Connecting the appliances Start connecting the appliances at the back.

1. Separate one appliance from the other, leaving a gap of 7

2. Unscrew the screws 12 at top of the backside of the

appliances (pic. 3).

3. Screw back plate 6 at the back of the appliances (pic. 3).

Screw the screws 12 back in.

4. Attach back plate 6 using self-tapping bolts 9 (from the bag)

where the designated holes are located (pic. 3).
