IMPORTANT NOTES AND
PRECAUTIONS
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

INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION
715469
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!
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 outfl ow air. Ignoring this caution may result in damage to
the appliance.
Warning: when installing built-in appliances into a cupboard or cabinet in a
side-by-side layout, the dew prevention installation kit should also be purchased
and installed. For safety reasons, dew prevention kit may only be installed by
an authorized service technician!

ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE APPLIANCE
• To set the desired temperature,
rotate the Adial in clockwise
direction.
• Recommended setting of the Adial
is on the eco position (see figure).
• A change in the ambient temperature
will aect the temperature in the
appliance. Adjust the setting with the
Adial accordingly. Positions towards
the - mean a lower temperature in the
appliance (cooler). Settings towards
the + mean a higher temperature
(warmer).
If the ambient temperature in the room
where the appliance is installed is below
16 °C, we recommend the coldest
setting.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE
i
Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging,
maintaining the right temperature, and observing the food
hygiene standards have a decisive impact on the quality
of food storage.
Observe the expiry dates for the food, indicated on the
packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed
containers or in appropriate packaging to prevent it from
emitting or receiving odours and humidity.
Do not store inflammable, volatile, and explosive
substances in the refrigerator.
Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed
and stored in an upright position.
Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange
peel, butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic surfaces
in case of a prolonged contact, causing damage and
premature ageing of these materials.
Unpleasant odour warns of lacking cleanliness of the
appliance or perished contents (see chapter Cleaning the
Appliance).
If you are leaving home for a longer period of time,
remove perishables from the refrigerator.
