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.

Stability bracket

WARNING: To prevent the fridge from tilting forwards, it must be

held in place with the stability bracket supplied.

This is the responsibility of the customer.

Fixed to the floor or wall at the rear of the fridge, the stability bracket

hooks onto the compressor mounting plate holding the fridge

secure.

The stability bracket must be installed securely in accordance

with these instructions BEFORE using the fridge.

Note: The fridge is heavy so care must be taken when moving

it.

1. Position the fridge in its chosen location.

2. Looking from the front of the fridge, mark the position of the left

hand panel.

3. Move the fridge far enough away to get clear access to the back

wall.

4. In order to clear components on the compressor mounting plate,

the stability bracket must be positioned on the floor between 100

- 200mm to the right of the left hand panel mark.

5. Mark and drill the fixing holes and insert suitable fixings to hold

the bracket firm.

6. Carefully re-position the fridge. Make sure that the compressor

mounting plate locates into the stability bracket.

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

* Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain models.
