Installation
Unpacking the Appliance
Remove the external & internal packaging.
When unpacking the appliance please check for any damage. If damage is found, do not connect to the
power source and contact the Authorised Service Provider.
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will
reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation. Remove
any protective film from the outer surface.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing the Refrigerator
This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built‐in.
Place your appliance on a solid, level floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully
loaded. Use the adjustable feet at the bottom of the appliance to compensate for any unevenness of the
floor.
Allow at least 50 mm of space around the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air
circulation, and at least 100 mm above the unit.
Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold
ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly. Avoid locating the appliance in
moist areas.
Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed‐grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an Authorised Service Centre.
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet (220‐240V 50Hz), let the appliance at least 2 hours before
placing food in the freezer.

Installation
Levelling the unit
To do this adjust the two levelling feet at front of the unit. If the unit is not
level, the doors and magnec seal alignment will not be covered properly.
Posioning
Install this appliance at a locaon where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the
rang plate of the appliance.
Locaon
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 posioned 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 posioned below
overhanging wall units. Accurate leveling 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 aer installaon.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rang plate correspond to your domesc
power supply. The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this
purpose. If the domesc power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth in
compliance with current regulaons, consulng a qualied electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precauons are not observed.

Operating Instructions
First use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the rst me, 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 finish.
Temperature Setting
 Plug on your appliance. The internal temperature is controlled by a thermostat. There are 8 sengs. 1 is
warmest seng and 7 is coldest seng and 0 is o.
 The appliance may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a parcularly hot or if you open the door
oen.
Freezing fresh food
 The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long
me.
 Place the fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
 The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specied on the rang plate.
 The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
Storing frozen food
When rst starng-up or aer a period out of use, before pung the product in the compartment let the
appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher sengs.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosng, for example the power has been o for longer than the value
shown in the technical characteriscs chart under “rising me”, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (aer cooked).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the fridge compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the me available for this operaon.
Small pieces may even be cooked sll frozen, directly from the freezer. In this case, cooking will take longer.
Ice- cube
This appliance may be equipped with one or more ice-cube to produce ice.
Accessories
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so
that the shelves can be posioned as desired.
Posioning the door shelf
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelf can be placed at dierent heights. To make
these adjustments proceed as follows: gradually pull the shelf in the direcon of the arrows unl it comes
free, then reposion as required.

Care and Maintenance
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly, and cleaned once
a month after that.
To clean the appliance, first turn the thermostat to 0, turn off the power, unplug from the power socket and
remove all food and shelving.
Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth containing a water and baking soda solution. The solution should
be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the shelving with a mild detergent solution.
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
The outside of the appliance should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. Dry the interior and
exterior with a soft cloth.
It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odour free and
running efficiently.
Do not use oils, abrasive cleaners, petroleum products, acids or alkaline detergents, as they can damage
the appliance.
IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be operating correctly, turn off the appliance at the switch
and then contact the Service Department.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF.
REPLACING THE LAMP
The lamp must be replaced from the qualified service center and qualified technician.
MOVING THE APPLIANCE
Remove all the food.
Securely tape down all loose items inside the appliance. Tape the doors shut.
Be sure the appliance stays in the upright position during transportation.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or
heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that coo or freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts
down on frost build‐up inside the freezer and bad odours.
The freezer compartment should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as
needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
When adding fresh food, try to add it to the bottom of the freezer, surrounded by food that is already frozen.
After adding fresh food to the freezer, allow 24 hours for it to be fully frozen before adding any more fresh
food.
