INSTALLATION
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 to be used at ambient
temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C (SN);
—temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C (N);
—subtropical: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C (ST);
—tropical: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging
from 16 °C to 43 °C (T);
IMPORTANT NOTE: The appliance can operate at temperatures down to -15°C and is
therefore suitable for use in garages and out buildings. However it is not recommended to keep
theappliancerunningatalowambienttemperatureforlongperiodsoftime,asitcouldaect
the life expectancy of the appliance.
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 100mm. 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.

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12hoursisspeciedontherating
plate.
• The freezing process lasts 12 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
Storing Frozen Food
Whenrstturningtheapplianceonorafteraperiodofnouse,lettheappliancerunonahigh
setting for at least 2 hours before putting products in the compartment.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooking.)
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to use, can be thawed at room temperature, depending on
the time available for this operation.

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 12 hours is shown on the rating plate.
• The freezing process takes 12 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during
this period.
• Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned food.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen, and to
make it possible subsuquently 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 the temperature of the latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food.
• Ice consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment can cause freeze
burns.
• Including the date of freezing when adding products to the compartment is recommended
to help track storage times.
Hints for Storage of Frozen Food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
• Makesurethatthecommerciallyfrozenfoodstuswereadequatelystoredbytheretailer.
• Besurethatfrozenfoodstusaretransferredfromthefoodstoretothefreezerinthe
shortest possible time.
• Not open the door frequently or leave it open any longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
