1. Operating Instructions

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).

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.

MULTI-USE* bin: to store food (such as cold meats) for a long

time and also prevent odours from lingering in the refrigerator.

TEMPERATURE* Indicator light: to identify the coldest area in

the refrigerator.

1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light ( see

diagram ).

2. If the word "OK" does not appear it means that the

temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR

OPERATION knob to a higher (colder) position and wait

approximately 10 hours until the temperature has stabilised.

3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it

following the initial process. If large quantities of food have

been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened

frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at

least 10 hours before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR

OPERATION knob to a higher setting.

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.

2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average

value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the

refrigerator.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment

automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the

thermostat knob.

= warmest

= coldest

We recommend, however, a medium position.

The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the back

wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space and

improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will be

covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the

compressor is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator

is functioning normally.

Chiller system

The appliance comes with one of the chiller systems described

below: take note of your system in order to determine the most

efficient food storage method.
