Leveling the Unit
To do this adjust the two leveling feet at the front
of the unit.
If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal
alignments will not be covered properly
Positioning
Install this appliance in a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
Ambient Room Temperature Limits
Class Symbol Ambient average temperature °C
Extended temperature SN +10 to +32
Temperature N +16 to +32
Subtropical ST +16 to +38
Tropical T +16 to +43
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators,
boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that 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 50 mm. Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned below
overhanging wall units.Accurate leveling is ensured by one or more adjustable feet at the
base of the cabinet.
This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance;
Warning! It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains
power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
First Use - Cleaning the Interior
Before using the appliance for the rst time, wash the interior and all internal accessories
with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand
new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important: Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the nish
Temperature Setting
• Plug in your appliance.The internal temperature is
controlled by a thermostat.There are 3 settings, MIN,
NORMAL AND MAX. MIN is the warmest setting
and MAX is the coldest setting.
• The appliance may not operate at the correct
temperature if it is in a particularly hot environment
or if you open the door often.
Position different food in each compartment according to the below table
Refrigerator Compartments Type of Food
Freezer drawer(s)/shelf Foods for long-term storage
Bottom drawer/shelf Raw meat, poultry, sh
Middle drawer/shelf Frozen vegetables, chips
Top drawer/shelf Ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked goods
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 qualied electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not
observed.This appliance complies with E.E.C Directives.

13
Freezing Fresh Food
• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom compartment
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specied on the
rating plate
• The freezing process lasts for 24 hours; during this period do not add any more food
to be frozen
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge
compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer. In this case,
cooking will take longer.
Ice Cube
This appliance may be equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice cubes.
Hints for Freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
• The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating
plate
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added
during this period
• Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and
to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages
are airtight
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food that is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in temperature of the latter
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food
• Ice cubes, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly cause
freeze burns to the skin
• It is advisable to show the freezing date on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tabs of the storage time

Summer /
Normal /
Winter /
• Information above give users recommendation of temperature setting
Impact on Food Storage
• Under recommended setting, the best storage time of the freezer is no more than 1
month
• The best storage time may reduce under other settings
Storing Frozen Food
When rst starting up or after a period out of use, before putting the product in the
drawer let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been off
for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under ‘rising time,’
the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen
(after cooking)

15
Hints for Storage of Frozen Food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer,
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in
the shortest possible time,
• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be
cleaned regularly.
Caution! The appliance should be disconnected from the mains during cleaning. Danger
of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from
the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance
with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of
electrical shock! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.The appliance must
be allowed to dry fully before being placed back into service.
Important: Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice
or the juice from orange peel, butyric acid, cleansers that contain acetic acid.
• Do not allow such substances to come into contact with the appliance parts

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting of the Freezer
The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost.This should be
removed. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should
be carried out as follows:
• pull out the plug from the socket,
• remove all stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place,
• keep the door open, and place a basin underneath to collect the defrosted ice,
• when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly
• replace the plug in the power socket to run the appliance again.

Fuse Replacement (Class I)
This appliance must be earthed. Remove the fuse cover with a small
at head screw driver. Take out the fuse and replace with a new fuse
of the same Amp. Replace the fuse cover and push back into place.
