ADVICE FOR SAVING POWER
WITH REFRIGERATION
APPLIANCES
460401
• 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 other reasons, have it
replaced as soon as possible.
• Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.
• Before placing the food in the appliance, cool it to room temperature.
• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.
• Remove the drawers from the freezer compartment as described in the instruction
manual, in order to make use of the entire interior.
• Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3-5 milimeter layer of of frost
or ice has built up on the refrigerated surfaces.
• 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.
• If you do not need the fan or the ionizer, switch them o to reduce power consumption.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
460401
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 on the appliance.
Class Temperature
SN (subnormal) from +10°C to +32°C
N (normal) from +16°C to +32°C
ST (subtropical) from +16°C to +38°C
T (tropical) from +16°C to +43°C
Warning: Make sure the room where the appliance is installed is large enough. There
should be at least 1 m3of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is stated
on the rating plate in the appliance interior.
INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Appliance installation should be carried
out by at least two persons to avoid any
physical injury or damage to the appliance.
• 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.

A Knob for temperature settings, switching the appliance on/o, and activating the super
freeze function
To switch on: rotate the thermostat knob
Aclockwise towards the thicker end of the

still be electric current in the appliance).

15
460401
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
FREEZER BOOST (SUPER FREEZE) FUNCTION
• To set the desired temperature, rotate the
Adial in clockwise direction, i.e. to the
right.
• Recommended setting of the Aknob is
on the eco position.
• A change in the environment temperature
will aect the temperature in the
appliance. Adjust the setting with the A
dial accordingly. Positions towards the
thicker part of the sign mean a lower
temperature in the appliance (cooler).
Settings towards the thinner part of
the sign mean a higher temperature
(warmer).
Use this setting after switching on the
appliance for the first time, before cleaning,
or 24 hours before inserting a large amount
of food.
Switching on the freezer boost (super
freeze) function:
Rotate the Adial to position .
After the end of the freezer boost cycle,
rotate the Aknob back to the desired
setting.
If the freezer boost is not deactivated
manually, it will be automatically switched

ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE APPLIANCE
INTENSIVE FREEZING
• To set the desired temperature, rotate the
Adial in clockwise direction.
• Recommended setting of the Adial is on
the eco position.
• With this setting, the temperature in the
freezer compartment temperature will be
around –18 °C.
• A change in the environment temperature
will aect the temperature in the
appliance. Adjust the setting with the A
dial accordingly. Positions towards the
thicker part of the marking mean a lower
temperature in the appliance (cooler).
Settings towards the thinner part of the
marking mean a higher temperature
(warmer).
We recommend using this setting before
cleaning the appliance or 24 hours before
inserting a large amount of food. Activating
this function will make sure the food is cooled
or frozen faster to retain vitamins, minerals,
nutrients, and flavour, and to extend its freshness.
• Switching on the intensive freezing:
Rotate the Adial to position .
• When the intensive freezing function is active, the Bdisplay indicates FF.
• When the intensive freezing function is activated, the appliance will operate with
maximum power. During this time, operation may be somewhat louder.
• After the end of the intensive freezing cycle, rotate the Adial back to the desired setting.
If the function is not deactivated manually, it will be deactivated automatically after
approximately two days. The temperature returns to the most recently set value (the most
recent setting appears on the display B, but the knob remains in the position .
