Before using the appliance for the first
time
Before connecting the appliance to the
power mains, please read carefully the
instructions for use which describe the
appliance and its correct and safe use.
The instructions apply to several appliance
types/models; thus, settings or equipment
may be described herein which is not
available in your appliance. We recommend
saving this instruction manual for future
reference and attach it to the appliance if it
is sold in the future.
The instruction manual includes the NO
FROST version/model of the freezer which is
fitted with a fan and in which the defrosting
process is automatic (only with some models).
Check for any damage or irregularities on
your appliance. If you find your appliance is
damaged, notify the retailer from which you
have purchased the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to the
power mains, let the appliance rest in a
vertical position for a minimum of 2 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of operation
faults due to the effect of transport on the
cooling system.

The rating plate can be found in the
appliance interior (see figure). It indicates
data on voltage, gross and net volume, type
and amount of refrigerant, and the climate
classes.
The appliance may not be used outdoors and it may not be
exposed to rain.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans
with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

Advice for saving energy with refrigeration appliances
• Install the appliance as specified in the instruction manual.
• Do not open the door more often than necessary.
• Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is unobstructed.
• Condenser unit on the rear wall should be kept clean (see chapter ‘Cleaning the appliance’).

as soon as possible.
• Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.
• To make use of the entire freezer compartment interior volume, remove some of the drawers
as described in the instruction manual.
• Do not block the fan slots or vents.
• The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy consumption will be.
INTRODUCTION

EN 11
Do not place an appliance in a room where
temperature can drop to below 5°C as this may
cause abnormal appliance operation or failure!
Installation and connection
Selecting the room
• Install the appliance in a dry and well ventilated room. The appliance will operate correctly if
the environment temperature is in the interval specified in the table. The appliance class is
indicated on the rating plate / label with the basic information of the appliance.
Class Temperature Relative Humidity
SN (subnormal) from +10°C to +32°C
≤75%
N (normal) from +16°C to +32°C
ST (subtropical) from +16°C to +38°C
T (tropical) from +16°C to +43°C
INTRODUCTION
Note: Place the appliance in a sufficiently large room. There should be at least
1 m3of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is indicated on the rating plate in
the appliance interior.
• At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the integrated appliance, there should
be at least 200 cm2free space, for adequate air circulation.
On the upper part of the appliance the air is coming out, so try not to cover the opening for
the outflow air. Ignoring this caution may result in damage to the appliance.

EN 12
• Spacers are fitted on the corners of the
doors. Remove them.
• The appliance must stand level or tilted
slightly to the back, stable on a solid base.
At the front, the appliance is fitted with two
adjustable legs that can be used to level
the appliance. At the rear side, casters
allow for easier installation of the appliance
(only with some models).
• There should be a clearance of at least
5 cm between the appliance and any
cupboard installed above it, in order to
allow adequate cooling of the condenser
unit.
• The appliance is supplied with two spacers
which should be installed on the lower part
of the housing to prevent from pushing the
appliance too close to the wall. Appliance
may also be installed without the spacers;
however, this may increase power
consumption.
• Do not expose the appliance to direct
sunlight and do not place it near any
source of heat. If this cannot be avoided,
install an insulation panel.
