Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
Climate class
Ambient temperature

INSTALLATION

12
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from any sources of heat such as radiators,
boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the unit.
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
100mm. Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall
units.
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. This appliance complies with the E.E.C.
Directives.
WARNING: It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible
after installation.

13
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories
with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new
product, then dry thoroughly.
Temperature Setting
• Plug in the appliance. The internal temperature is controlled
by a thermostat. There are 6 settings.
o 1 - warmest setting
o 5 - coldest setting
o 0 - off
• The appliance may not operate at the correct temperature if it
is in a particularly hot or if you open the door often.
Movable shelves
All shelves can be moved to cater to your specific
requirements.
• Pull the shelf outwards
• Select a suitable position and insert the shelf until
fully to ensure the door can seal properly.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Note:
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

14
Vegetable Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in a fridge compartment or at
room temperature. Place the frozen food in a dish or bowl to avoid the flowing of
condensate water when thaw it in compartment.
Helpful hints and tips
To obtain the best performance:
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.
Hints for refrigeration
• Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer. For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered and may be placed on any
shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the vegetable
drawer.
• Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
• Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.

15
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned
regularly.
Caution
• The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of
electrical shock! Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the electrical
outlet.
• 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 dry before it is placed back into service.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
• Remove the food from the freezer. Store them in a cool place, well covered.
• Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water.
After cleaning, wipe with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
• Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason,
carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft
brush or vacuum cleaner.
• After everything is dry, reconnect the fridge and resume operation.
CLEANING & CARE
Note:
Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g., lemon juice or the
juice form orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid. Do not allow
such substances to come into contact the appliance parts.

16
Defrosting
The evaporator, 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 evaporator, complete defrosting should
be carried out as follows:
• Disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet.
• Remove all stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
• Keep the door open placing a basin underneath of the appliance to collect the
defrosted water.
• When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.
• Reconnect the fridge and resume operation.
