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
it is sold in the future.
Check for any damage or irregularities on your appliance. If
you find your appliance is damaged, notify the retailer from
which you have purchased the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, let
the appliance rest in a vertical position for a minimum of 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of operation faults due
to the effect of transport on the cooling system.

ADVICE FOR SAVING POWER
WITH REFRIGERATION
APPLIANCES
558045
• Install the appliance as specified in the instruction manual.
• Do not open the door more often than necessary.
• Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is unobstructed.
• Condenser unit on the rear wall should be kept clean (see chapter Cleaning the
appliance).
• If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for other reasons, have it
replaced as soon as possible.
• Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.
• Before placing the food in the appliance, cool it to room temperature.
• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.
• Remove some of the drawers from the freezer compartment as described in the
instruction manual, in order to make use of the entire interior.
• Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3-5 milimeter layer of of frost
or ice has built up on the refrigerated surfaces.
• Make sure the layout of shelves in the compartment is uniform and that the food
is placed so that the air can freely circulate in the appliance interior (observe the
recommended placement of food as described in the instructions).
• In appliances with a fan, do not block the fan slots.
• If you do not need the fan or the ionizer, switch them o to reduce power consumption.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
558045
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
SN (subnormal) from +10°C to +32°C
N (normal) from +16°C to +32°C
ST (subtropical) from +16°C to +38°C
T (tropical) from +16°C to +43°C
Warning: Make sure the room where the appliance is installed is large enough. There
should be at least 1 m3of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is stated
on the rating plate in the appliance interior.
INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Appliance installation should be carried
out by at least two persons to avoid any
physical injury or damage to the appliance.
• The appliance must stand level or tilted
slightly to the back, stable on a solid
base. At the front, the appliance is fitted
with two adjustable legs that can be used
to level the appliance. At the rear side,
casters allow for easier installation of the
appliance (only with some models).
• There should be a clearance of at least 5 cm
between the appliance and any cupboard
installed above it, in order to allow adequate
cooling of the condenser unit.
• The appliance is supplied with two
spacers which should be installed on
the lower part of the housing to prevent
from pushing the appliance too close to
the wall. Appliance may also be installed
without the spacers; however, this may
increase power consumption.

• Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight and do not place it near any source of
heat. If this cannot be avoided, install an insulation panel.
• The appliance may stand alone or it may be placed ext to a cupboard or a wall. Consider
the clearance required to fully open the door in order to allow pulling out the drawers
and shelves (see installation diagram).
Note: When placing the appliances side by side, the anti-dew (anti-condensation) set has
to be purchased and installed!

CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF
DOOR OPENING
558045
Tools required: socket wrench No. 8, Phillips screwdriver, torx 25, flat screwdriver
The procedure to change the direction of door opening should be carried out by at least
two persons.
1. Remove the upper hinge cover (A).
2. Unscrew the upper hinge (B) and remove the upper door (C).
3. Then remove the covering plugs (D), unscrew the mid hinge (E) and remove the lower
door (F) from the lower hinge (G).
4. Tilt the appliance backwards (make sure you do not press against the condenser unit
on the rear wall of the appliance as this may damage the cooling system), unscrew the
lower hinge (G) and the foot (H) and move them to the opposite side. Make sure the
washer is installed like it was before disassembly.
5. Move the door hinges (I) to the opposite side.
6. Place the Mid hinge (E) on the lower door (F) and place the lower door on the lower
hinge (G). Fasten the mid hinge (the door should be open while you do this). Do not
forget to place the washers (J) and covering plugs (M) as they were placed before the
disassembly.
7. Place the upper door (C) over the middle hinge (E), remove the covering cap (K) and
fasten the upper hinge (B).
8. Install the upper hinge cover (A) and the covering cap (K).

A B
A Temperature setting and on/o knob
B Lighting on/o key
To switch on: rotate the Adial clockwise.
Switching off: Rotate the Aknob back to
the position in which the arrow is aligned
with the symbol (caution: appliance
will remain powered, i.e. there will still be
electric current in the appliance).

18
558045
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
• To set the desired temperature, rotate the
Adial in clockwise direction, i.e. to the
right.
• A change in the environment temperature
will aect the temperature in the
appliance. Adjust the setting with the A
dial accordingly. Positions towards the
thicker part of the sign mean a lower
temperature in the appliance (cooler).
Settings towards the thinner part of
the sign mean a higher temperature
(warmer).
• If the temperature of the room where the
appliance is installed is below 16°C, we
recommend setting the Adial
temperature to the thickest part of the
sign.
