Remove them and insert the
supplied plugs into their slots
(only in some models).
IMPORTANT NOTES AND
PRECAUTIONS
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 reference and attach it to the appliance if
it is sold in the future.
The instruction manual includes the NO FROST version/
model of the freezer which is fitted with a fan and in
which the defrosting process is automatic (only with some
models).
Check for any damage or irregularities on your appliance. If
you find your appliance is damaged, notify the retailer from
which you have purchased the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, let
the appliance rest in a vertical position for a minimum of 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of operation faults due
to the effect of transport on the cooling system.
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR
THE FIRST TIME

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.

INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION
458851
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.

SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON/OFF
Switching the appliance on: Switch on the
appliance by briefly pressing the key A.
With this model, it is possible to only switch
on the freezer compartment while the
refrigerator compartment is switched off.
This setting can be made in two ways:
- briefly press the Fkey to switch on the
freezer compartment only; or
- first briefly press the Akey to switch on
the entire appliance. Then, press and hold
(for three seconds) the Akey to switch
off the refrigerator compartment.
When the Akey is pressed again, the
refrigerator compartment will be switched
back on.
Switching off the appliance: To switch off
the appliance, press and hold (for three
seconds) the key F(caution: appliance
will remain powered, i.e. there will still be
electric current in the appliance).
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
• To set the temperature in the refrigerator compartment use the keys D:
lower temperature ; higher temperature.
• Temperature in the refrigerator compartment can be set from +1°C to +9°C.
• After one of the Dkeys is pressed, the most recent temperature setting will flash on
the display E. Use the Dkeys to set the desired temperature. Three seconds after the
last key was pressed, the most recent temperature setting is stored for the refrigerator
compartment.
• Recommended setting is 4°C.

19
458851
• To set the temperature in the freezer
compartment use the keys I:
lower temperature ;
higher temperature.
• Temperature in the freezer compartment
can be set from -24°C to -16°C.
• After one of the Ikeys is pressed, the most
recent temperature setting will flash on the
display J. Use the Ikeys to set the desired
temperature. Three seconds after the last key
was pressed, the most recent temperature
setting is stored for the freezer compartment.
• Recommended setting is -18°C.
FREEZER BOOST FUNCTION (SUPER FREEZE)
• 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: Press the Hkey. FF will
appear on the display J.
If the freezer boost is not deactivated
manually, it will be automatically switched
off after approximately 2 days. Then the
temperature of the freezer compartment
returns to the most recently set value.
EXTREME FREEZING (UPPER DRAWER OF THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT)
• In order to quickly freeze fresh food, use the
XtremeFreeze function that is only active in
the upper drawer of the freezer compartment.
It involves intensive blowing of cool air in
that part of the appliance. Faster freezing will
retain more vitamins, minerals, and nutrients
in the food for a longer period of time.
Switching on the freezer boost
(XtremeFreeze) function: Press the Hkey
an hold it for at least 3 seconds. EF will
appear on the display J.

20
458851
• With this setting, the compressor will operate continuously and the temperature in the
freezer compartment will drop considerably.
• If the setting is not deactivated manually (by pressing the »H« key), it will be deactivated
automatically after approximately one day. Freezer compartment temperature will return
to the most recent setting.
• Use this setting for freezing smaller amounts of food (up to 2 kilograms) in the upper
drawer. When freezing a large amount of food, the setting should be activated 12 hours
before the food is placed in the freezer.
• Use this setting after switching on the appliance for the first time, before cleaning, or
before inserting a large amount of food.
Switching on the refrigerator boost (super cool) function: Press the Ckey.
If the function is not deactivated manually, it will be deactivated automatically after
approximately six hours. Refrigerator compartment temperature will return to the most
recent setting.
REFRIGERATOR BOOST (SUPER COOLING)
(REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT)
HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM
If the temperature inside the appliance is
too high, acoustic alarm will be activated
(intermittent tone) and the Bkey will flash.
• Acknowledge and turn o the acoustic
alarm by pressing the Bkey.
• The acoustic alarm will be activated
every 24 hours if the temperature in the
appliance is not low enough and there is
danger of food spoilage. The alarm will be
switched o automatically as soon as the
temperature in the freezer drops to a level
that no longer presents spoilage hazard.
• When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there is a 24-hour delay in
temperature alarm operation since the appliance will not have reached the adequate
temperature. Thus, unnecessary activation of alarm is prevented.
Open refrigerator door alarm: if the refrigerator or freezer compartment door is open for
more than 2 minutes, acoustic alarm will be activated and the Bkey will flash. When the door is
closed, the alarm will be deactivated. It can also be switched off by pressing the Bkey.
