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.

• After the appliance is switched on, it may take several hours for the set
temperature to be reached. Do not place any food into the refrigerator before the
temperature drops to the selected setting.
i
• 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
refrigerator compartment will be around
4 °C, and 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).
• If the temperature of the room where
the appliance is installed is below 16 °C,
we recommend setting the Adial to the
position shown in the figure.
• Moreover, when environment temperature
is below 16 °C, we recommend setting the
manually adjustable flap to position 1

If it is not possible to reach the right temperature by adjusting the settings with the knob
A, then set the flap as described in the section »Troubleshooting«.
INTENSIVE COOLING AND FREEZING
• 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 cooling and
freezing: Rotate the Adial to position .
• When the intensive cooling and freezing
function is active, the Bdisplay indicates
»SC«.
• When the intensive cooling/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 cooling/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 ).
