IMPORTANT NOTES AND
PRECAUTIONS
818898
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

ADVICE FOR SAVING POWER
WITH REFRIGERATION
APPLIANCES
818898
• 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.
• If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for any reason,
have it replaced as soon as possible.
• Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.
• Before placing the food in the refrigerator, allow it to cool down to room
temperature.
• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.
• To make use of the entire freezer compartment interior volume, remove some
of the drawers as described in the instruction manual.
• Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3–5 millimetre layer
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 or vents.
• If you do not need the fan or the ionizer, switch them o to reduce power
consumption.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
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 Relative Humidity
SN (subnormal) from +10 °C to +32 °C
75%
N (normal) from +16 °C to +32 °C
ST (subtropical) from +16 °C to +38 °C
T (tropical) from +16 °C to +43 °C
• Do not place an appliance in a room where temperature can drop to
below 5 °C as this may cause abnormal appliance operation or failure!
i
• After the installation, the appliance mains plug should be accessible!
• Do not place the appliance near appliances or devices radiating heat, such as
a cooker, a stove, a radiator, water heater etc., and do not expose it to direct
sunlight. The appliance should stand at least 3 cm away from an electric or gas
cooker or at least 30 cm away from an oil or solid fuel stove. If the distance
between such source of heat and the appliance is smaller, use an insulating
panel.
Note: Place the appliance in a suciently large room. There should be at least
1 m3of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is indicated on
the rating plate in the appliance interior.
• At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the integrated
appliance, there should be at least 200 cm2free space, for adequate air
circulation.
On the upper part of the appliance the air is coming out, so try not to cover
the opening for the outflow air.
Ignoring this caution may result in damage to the appliance.

12
818898
APPLIANCE PLACEMENT
Appliance installation should be carried
out by at least two persons to avoid
any personal injury or damage to the
appliance.
• The appliance must stand level or
tilted slightly to the back. It should be
stable and placed a solid base. At the
front, the appliance is fitted with two
adjustable feet that can be used to
level the appliance. At the rear side,
casters allow for easier installation of
the appliance (only with some models).
• After you have levelled the appliance
using the adjustable feet, adjust the
additional foot for extra stability of the
appliance.
max
30 mm
> 90°
• 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.
• Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight and do not place it near
sources of heat. If this cannot be avoided, install an insulation panel.

13
818898
• The appliance may be free-standing or it may be placed next to a cupboard, a
cabinet or a wall. If you place the appliance next to a cupboard, a cabinet or a
wall, its power consumption may increase.
• There has to be a clearance of at least 50 mm between the appliance and
any cabinet above it. To allow for adequate ventilation and cooling of the
appliance, there has to be sucient clearance behind the appliance as well
(see installation diagram).
• Take into account the space or clearance required to open the appliance door,
in order to allow the drawers and shelves to be pulled out or removed (see
installation diagram).

818898
REVERSING THE DOOR
OPENING DIRECTION
The direction in which the appliance door opens can be reversed.
Note: Disconnect the appliance from the power mains before reversing the door
opening direction.
Tools required:
Socket wrench No. 8, shaped screwdriver
Flat screwdriver Spanner No. 8
Note:
• If the appliance has to be tilted to allow access to parts on the bottom, ask
another person for assistance or gently place the appliance on some soft
padding to prevent damaging it. To reverse the opening direction, proceed as
