Installation

! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read

these operating instructions carefully. They contain important
information for safe use, for installation and for care of the
appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference.

Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning

1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and

condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.

3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of

the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm
between the sides and any furniture/side walls.

4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat

(direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the

appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in
the installation kit, following the instructions provided.

Levelling

1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator

by tightening or loosening the front feet.

Electrical connections

After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the
electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical
socket ensure the following:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the

law.

• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the

appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on
the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).

• The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated

on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e.g. 220-
240V).

• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If

the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised
technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use
extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply

cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by

authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see Installation).
!
Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments

and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.

1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal

light illuminates ( the FREEZER OPERATION knob must not
be on the position ) .

2. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob and REFRIGERATOR

OPERATION knob to an average value. After a few hours
you will be able to put food in the refrigerator.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

is the optimal temperature for energy saving levels.

is the holiday function (see Maintenance and care).

It is recognisable by aeration cells located on the back walls of
the compartments.
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system
maintains an optimal humidity level in the compartment,
preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the food
from sticking together and making defrosting a thing of the
past.

• Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or containers

in direct contact with the refrigerating back panel.

• Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not

hot foods (see Precautions and tips).

• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw

foods.

• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase

humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

SHELVES: with or without grill.

Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of
large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
