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).

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.
! The appliance comes with a motor protection control system
which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after
being switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power
supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the green POWER
indicator light illuminates.
3. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average
value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the
refrigerator.
4. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average value and
press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the SUPER
FREEZE indicator light will illuminate. Once the refrigerator has
reached the optimal temperature, the indicator light goes out
and you can begin food storage.
Chiller system
No Frost
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.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never
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 the
level of 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.
