wait at least tw h urs bef re c nnecting the
appliance t all w the il t fl w back in the
c mpress r.
• There are w rking parts in this pr duct which
heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate
ventilati n as a failure t d this will result in
c mp nent failure and p ssible f d l ss. See
installati n instructi ns.
• Parts which heat up sh uld n t be exp sed.

After having reversed the opening direction of
the doors check that all the screws are properly
tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to
the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold
(i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to
the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural
fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by
heating up the part involved with a normal
hairdrier.

Cleaning the interior
Bef re using the appliance f r the first time, wash
the interi r and all internal access ries with luke-
warm water and s me neutral s ap s as t rem ve
the typical smell f a brand-new pr duct, then dry
th r ughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.
Operation
Insert the plug int the wall s cket.
Open the refrigerat r d r and turn the therm stat
kn b, cl ckwise, bey nd the «O» (STOP) p siti n.
The appliance will start t perate.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is aut matically regulated and can
be increased t achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by r tating the therm stat kn b t ward
l wer settings r reduced (c lder) r tating the kn b
t wards higher settings.
H wever, the exact setting sh uld be ch sen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerat r depends n:
• r m temperature;
• h w ften the d r is pened;
• the quantity f f d st red;
• l cati n f appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
Important
If the ambient temperature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to form on the rear
wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher
temperature to allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consumption.
USE
Fresh food refrigeration
T btain the best perf rmance:
• d n t st re warm f d r evap rating liquids in
the refrigerat r;
• d c ver r wrap the f d, particularly if it has a
