Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the compressor to turn off for
too long, causing the internal tempera-
ture in the appliance to rise, resulting in
damage.
Risk of damage. In environ-
ments with high humidity, conden-
sation may appear on the external
surfaces of the appliance.
This condensate can cause corrosion
on external appliance panels.
To prevent this, it is advisable to in-
stall the appliance with sufficient
ventilation in a dry and/or air-condi-
tioned room.
After installation, make sure that the
appliance door closes properly, the
air vents are not covered and that
the appliance has been installed in
accordance with these installation in-
structions.
