~ 9 ~
Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated
on the rating plate of the appliance:
For refrigerating appliances with climate class:
extended temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended for use at ambient temperatures
ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C; (SN)
temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended for use at ambient temperatures ranging from
16 °C to 32 °C;(N)
subtropical: this refrigerating appliance is intended for use at ambient temperatures ranging from
16 °C to 38 °C;(ST)

tropical: this refrigerating appliance is intended for use at ambient temperatures ranging from
16 °C to 43 °C;(T)
Location
The appliance should be installed away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc.
Ensure air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the appliance is
positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the cabinet and the
wall unit must be at least 100 mm. Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned below
overhanging wall units. Accurate levelling is ensured by one or more adjustable feet at the base of the
cabinet.
Warning! It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug
must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your
domestic power supply. The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is provided with a
contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a
separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a qualified electrician. The manufacturer
declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed. This appliance complies with the
E.E.C. Directives.

temperature. Place the frozen food in a dish or bowl to avoid condensation from dripping onto
other foods.
This refrigerator is not suitable for freezing foodstuffs
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance: -
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
Do cover or warp the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour/smell
Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.
Hints for refrigeration
Meat (all types): wrap in polyethene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. For
safety, store in this way only one or two days at most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc should be covered and may be placed on any shelf
Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the vegetable drawer.
Butter and Cheese should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much are as possible.
Milk bottles should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door. Bananas, potatoes,
onion, and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
be kept in the fridge.
