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.

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.
If the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob has been set on high
values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient
temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting in
excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption:
compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values
(defrosting will occur automatically). In static appliances, the air
circulates in a natural way: the colder air tends to move
downwards as it is heavier. The food should be stored as follows:
