1.1 Safety
Before installing the fridge it is necessary to read with great attention these instructions.
When the fridge is operating, it is better to avoid touching the freezer compartment internal
surfaces, above all with wet hands: the skin could adhere to the frozen surfaces.
Switch off the fridge to clean it or to change the light bulb or the thermostat.
Never put full glass containers in the freezer: they could break because of the expansion due
to the foods freezing.
Use precautions for children:
Don’t let children play with fridges/freezers, since the fridges/freezers doors don’t open from
inside.
Once thawed, the food must be eaten as soon as possible.
Preserve the deep-frozen packaged foods according to the producer’s
instructions.
Don’t speed up the defrosting through heating electrical fittings or
through chemical substances.
If you want to scrap the fridge/freezer, cut off the supply cables and dis-
mount the door so that children can’t remained trapped inside.
For your safety and for the good preservation of the food inside, keep
the precautionary measures in this manual, since the producer is not
responsible for damages due to their non-observance.

3.1 Doors/hinges
IF IT IS NECESSARY FOR INSTALLATION EXIGENCIES TO CHANGE THE OPENING, READ WITH
GREAT ATTENTION THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
HINGE AND HANDLE REVERSAL
Release the hinge
plastic cover.
Unscrew the hinge screws on the cabinet
top. Removing the hinge, pay attention to the
door flection. Keep it clo-
sed until the hinge pin has
been unhooked. DON’T
FLEX BACK THE DOOR.
After having unscrewed the door, screw the hin-
ges on the opposite side (following the inverted
dismounting instructions). First of all, fasten the
inferior hinge, then hook the door and finally
fasten the superior hinge. Hook the handle to the
fridge/freezer,
Follow the instructions on page 7.
DURING THE DISMOUNTING, PAY
ATTENTION NOT TO LOSE THE RIN-
GLETS ON THE INFERIOR HINGE.
HOOK THE DOOR PUTTING THE RIN-
GLETS AS WE CAN SEE IN THE PICTU-
RE.
After having hooked the handle, adjust the door. Make sure that all
screws are tightened and then screw the plastic cover.
First of all, unscrew the handle
from the door and from its sup-
port. Then unscrew the corre-
sponding handle hook-up on
the box door side.
IMPORTANT: There are hin-
ges both at the top and at the
bottom.
ATTENTION
Unscrewing the hinges, pay attention
not to incline the fridge/freezer to
avoid ruining its corners.

HANDLE HOOK-UP AND SETTING
Don’t tighten the screws
before having set the
handle and the hook-up,
so that they are exactly
one upon the other. Then
it is possible to tighten all
the screws.
It is very important that the handle is exactly upon its hook-up: on the contrary the
good functioning of the fastening could be impaired and some components could
break.
Handle setting
3.2 Doors/handles
IMPORTANT
Fridges/freezers have got sui-
table holes for the handle and
the hook-up. If you change the
opening mode, it is necessary
to dismount the hook-up from
its support and fasten it upsi-
de-down, so that the handle is
upwards.

HANDLE
As the hook-up, the handle too is fastened to
the fridge/freezer by means of a steel clamp. If
you change the opening mode, it is necessary
to unfasten the handle from the clamp and
fasten it again after having tipped over the
clamp. On the door there are some holes to
hook the handle support clamp and to open the
door both on the right and on the left.

Bulk measures have been calculated counting in also eventual bulges due to the following objects:
feet: 25 mm
handle hook-up: 5 mm
hinge: 10 mm
screws bulges: 3 mm
Bulk measures
To locate the fridge/freezer, consider the following bulk measures for the different models.
3. INSTALLATION
3.3 Measures
Because of the difference in temperature bet-
ween inside and outside the cabinet it is neces-
sary to let some space (for all sides) between
the fridge/freezer walls and the walls of the sur-
rounding pieces of furniture, it must be located
between. (Don’t remove feet!)*
The space lack for the air circulation can cause
condensation, that in the worst case can get rot
the eventual wood or cause mould on fibreglass
surfaces.
*If you must remove feet because of installation exi-
gencies, it is necessary to create some space for the
air circulation between the cabinet and the bearing
plane.
To locate the fridge/frrezer you must consider that the
handle hook-up must be fastened in a niche as in the pic-
ture on the right.

3.3 Measures
Respect area for an easy use
Locating the fridge/freezer, it is necessary to respect the surrounding area to open completely the door and
so eventually drawers and to execute easily all operations inside.
Respect area To locate the fridge/freezer you must
consider the bulk measures on page
9, corresponding to the chosen cabi-
net.
Mounting instructions:
The fridge/freezer must be located easily.
Moving it, it is better to keep its protection and pay any-
way great attention. If necessary, take off the door.
IMPORTANT
To locate the fridge/freezer, you must consider not only the
bulk measures on page 9 (and in the table 3.5 on pages 11-
12) but also the holes for the electrical connection wires and
for the eventual condensation outlet. Since precharged pipes
protude from the box, it is necessary a respect area: avoid
sharp bends (their radius must be superior to 50 mm).
During the fridge/freezer installation, for its maintenance, it is
IMPORTANT to make as easy as possible the accessibility to
connections, unions and waste pipes.

3.4 Condensation outlet
All fridges/freezers of the Stainless Steel series have got
the condensation outlet on the back side.
(as in the picture on the left)
To avoid unpleasant smells coming from condensation
trays go into the fridge/freezer, installing the condensation
outlet pipe, it is necessary to create a syphon below the
fridge/freezer level.
Pay attention to the pipe position. Locating the box in the
chosen position, don’t crush or bend in a n anomalous
way the pipe to maintain it functional.
Check also that the condensation outlet drains correctly,
pouring a congrous quantity of water into the stainless
steel cabinet when it is located and before switching it on.
Comprehensive view and position of
the condensation outlet hole
To the condensation outlet you must fasten a curve rub-
ber holder (Cod. M68995) and connect a pipe with a
stainless steel clamp (since the fridge causes humidity
all around, pay attention to materials in contact with it).

3.8 Fastening
The Stainless Steel boxes must be
fastened to the structure, even if
they have a precise position.
In fact, if the box hasn’t been fastened, it
could occasionally moves according to the
hull movements and even if it doesn’t cause
immediately any damages, then it could ruin
the connection pipes (break of the connec-
tion pipes to the system and detachment of
the condensation discharge pipe or of the
electrical connections).
ALL NECESSARY HOLES HAVE ALREADY BEEN
ARRANGED WITH RINGLETS.
DON’T DRILL ANY HOLE INTO THE
BOX.
YOU COULD IMPAIR IRREMEDIABILY
THE EVAPORATOR.

Page 18
Fridges & Freezers Boxes
SERIE MS STAINLESS STEEL
Series
If you want to fasten the box using the frames, it is
necessary to drill into its walls some holes, as you
can see in the picture.
You can drill some holes only before mounting the
frames. Then you must consider also the material
they must be fasten to and the screws head.
On the box walls there are some holes to
fasten stainless steel profiles (picture 4), that
fit perfectly the cabinet in the chosen seat
(picture 4).
On the profiles there are some holes to fix
them on the box (the kit includes screws) .
Pay attention to the hinges and the handle
position since the profiles have their own join
seats (pictures 2 and 3).

3.11 Optional external thermostat
It is possible to install digital thermostats for fridges and freezers. You can insert these thermostats in the
risers (as you can see in the picture) if it is a one-unit or in the risers/spacers if it is a multiple unit, composed
by fridge and freezer (see “Components table” on page 5-6).
The digital thermostat has not to be installed near the
box. In this case you can fix it on the wall, as you can see
in the picture, through a stainless steel frame.
You must put the bulb of the digital
thermostat in the fridge/freezer (A).
The wire must pass into the hole of
the box back (B). Then it must follow
the internal edge line. The correct
position is at half height. The bulb
must not come into contact with the
walls and the food inside.
The wire must be fastened by an alu-
minium adhesive tape or by some
silicone. It is necessary to seal the
hole.
