Ventilation

• Allow 50mm clearance between walls and the appliance.
• Ensure the condenser fan can draw ambient air from the room.
• Adherence to minimum clearances is necessary.

NOTE: The maximum ambient temperature for the refrigerator is 25°C. Conditions outside this temperature range may result in cabinet temperatures outside the required 2°C to 8°C range. Bromic recommends installation at an ambient temperature of 20°C to 25°C.

Power Supply

• Do not plug the appliance into a multiple outlet power board.
• The appliance is supplied with a flexible power cord and a 3-pin plug.
• The socket used must be properly earthed and fuse/RCD protected.
• Refer to the rating label inside the cabinet for supply voltage, frequency, and current draw.
• The power cable is rated for 70°C. It is recommended that the cable does not contact parts exceeding 50°C.
• Do not turn off power before consulting the responsible person.
• Clearly mark the power source to prevent accidental unplugging or power off.
