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

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’).
• If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for any reason, have it replaced
as soon as possible.
• Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.
• Before placing the food in the refrigerator, allow it to cool down to room temperature.
• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.
• To make use of the entire freezer compartment interior volume, remove some of the drawers
as described in the instruction manual.
• Make sure the layout of shelves in the compartment is uniform and that the food is placed
so that the air can freely circulate in the appliance interior (observe the recommended
placement of food as described in the instructions).
• In appliances with a fan, 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.

(F) from the lower hinge (G).
4. Tilt the appliance backwards (make sure you do not press against the condenser unit on
the rear wall of the appliance as this may damage the cooling system), unscrew the lower
hinge (G) and the foot (H) and move them to the opposite side. Make sure the washer is
installed like it was before disassembly.
5. Move the door hinges (I) to the opposite side. Remove the door stopper S1 and attach the
door stopper S2 supplied in a bag with the instruction manual.
6. Place the middle hinge (E) on the lower door (F) and place the lower door on the lower
