Overview of the appliance
A
Recommended ambient temperatures
Respect the climatic classes indicated in the product information on the appliance's nameplate.
You can use this to check the recommended temperature range of the room where the appliance
is located:
- SN: Between 10 and 32°C
- N: Between 16 and 32°C
- SN: Between 16 and 38°C
- Tel.: Between 16 and 43°C
A multi-class appliance may generate the lowest and highest temperatures for all classes
covered. Use of the appliance outside the ambient temperature range may affect its performance
and lifespan.
Temperature control adjustment
For optimal use and to save energy, adjust the temperature control(s) of the appliance according
to the ambient temperature of the room in which it is being used and respect the climatic class.
Refer to the product sheet to find out the climatic class associated with the minimum and
maximum recommended ambient temperatures for the appliance as well as the temperature
setting recommended for storing food under optimal conditions.
The ambient temperatures in °C are given as a rough guide.
The set positions can be affected by the location of the appliance in the room, how often the
door is opened or the load of food inside.
The temperature control may need to be changed to compensate for these factors.
Examples of locations:
- Room which is unheated in winter, such as a garage in a cold region.
- Living area which is normally heated, such as a kitchen.
- Room with no air conditioning in summer in a hot region

children from becoming trapped inside and putting their lives at risk.
Location
- Position your appliance away from sources of heat (heating, cooker, sunlight). The ambient
temperature in the room should be between + 10 °C and + 43 °C (class ST) to allow the appliance
to run at its optimum capacity. The appliance will not operate normally outside these limits.
- This appliance should be installed in such a way that the plug remains accessible.Make
sure that it is not resting on the supply cable after installation.
- Level the appliance by means of the 2 adjustable feet.
- Make sure that air can circulate freely behind the appliance and do not place it against a
wall to prevent noise due to vibration. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the appliance.
Insufficient ventilation would reduce efficiency and increase energy consumption.

Temperature indicator
Your appliance is fitted with a temperature indicator located in the coldest area to help you to
adjust you appliance correctly.
In order to properly preserve the food in the refrigerator, particularly in the coldest part, make
sure that the temperature indicator shows the word "OK".
The symbol opposite indicates the coldest zone in your refrigerator. It defines the
top of this area.
If the word “OK” is not shown, the average temperature in this area is too high. Adjust
the temperature control to a colder position.
Each time the temperature adjustment button is changed, wait for the temperature inside the
appliance to stabilise before making a new adjustment, if this is necessary. Change the position
of the temperature control gradually and wait for at least 12 hours before checking again.
NB: after filling the appliance with fresh food or after opening the door repeatedly (or for a
prolonged period), it is normal for the "OK" message to disappear from the temperature indicator.
Wait at least 12 hours before resetting the temperature control.
Use
Starting
Once the appliance is correctly installed, we recommend that you clean the interior with slightly
soapy warm water (washing-up liquid).
Do not use an abrasive product or scouring powder as this could damage the finish.
Use
Household refrigerators are intended exclusively for the preservation of fresh food and drinks
and the short-term preservation of frozen products.
Food safety
The increasing consumption of ready meals and other sensitive foods means that the transport
and storage temperature of food needs to be better controlled:
• Store the most sensitive foods in the coldest zone of the appliance according to the indications
provided in this manual (temperature indicator section).
• Limit the number of times the door is opened.
• Position the temperature control adjustment to reduce the temperature. This adjustment
must be made gradually to prevent the food from freezing.

11 EN

CLEANING
Lift the tank carefully by holding it in both hands.
Unscrew the spout and clean it and the tank with soap and water, leaving them to dry in the
open air or dry with a soft cloth.
The water collection tank may start to overflow after it has been used several times. Wipe down

collection tank to do so.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer compartment can be used to freeze fresh products and to store frozen products.
The quantity of food to be frozen must not exceed the quantity written on the nameplate. If the
quantity to be frozen exceeds this value, it is still possible to freeze the food in separate parcels.
Freezing fresh food
• Only freeze high-quality food after it had been cleaned and prepared if necessary.
• Allow prepared foods to cool down to ambient temperature before placing them in the freezer.
• All products to be frozen must be wrapped in polyethylene bags, aluminium freezer trays or
plastic boxes. These parcels must be tightly sealed.
• The size of each parcel should corresponds to the quantity consumed by the family so that they
can be used at a single sitting. Products can be frozen quickly and evenly if the parcels are small.
• Do not freeze quantities exceeding the freezing capacity of the appliance indicated on the
nameplate all at once.
• A defrosted product must never be refrozen.
• Do not place liquids in their glass packaging, bottles or cans of zzy drinks in the freezer
as they could explode.
• Do not consume ice lollies straight from the freezer as this can cause burns linked to the cold.

17 EN
Using the appliance
B
Freezing fresh products:
Adjust the temperature control to obtain the lowest temperature possible without allowing it to
fall below 0° in the refrigerator.
Do not open the freezer door during freezing.
Leave the appliance in freezing mode for 24 hours and then reposition the temperature control
button in the central position after this period of time.
Storing frozen food
• Frozen products can be grouped together to leave space free for freezing.
• When you purchase a frozen product, make sure that the packaging is intact, shows no traces
of humidity and is not inflated, which is an indication that defrosting has started.
• Respect the storage period indicated by the manufacturer on frozen products.
• Avoid opening the door too frequently and only leave it open for as long as is necessary. An
increase in temperature can reduce the storage period of food.
Defrosting
Meat, poultry and fish should be defrosted in the refrigerator to prevent bacteria from developing.
Other products may be defrosted in ambient air.
Small portions of food can be cooked straight from the freezer. Many ready meals can also
be cooked without having to be defrosted first. Always follow the instructions provided on the
packaging.
Bread and pastries can be defrosted in a warm oven.
Microwaves can be used to defrost most types of food. Follow the instructions provided in the
microwave manual.
NOTE
In the event of a power cut, frozen food will not be affected if
the appliance is switched off for less than 15 hours. However,
you should avoid opening the door (the time taken for the
appliance to return to the required temperature can be
significantly reduced if the appliance is fairly empty). As
soon as you notice signs of defrosting, the food should be
consumed as quickly as possible. Never refreeze food that
has already been defrosted.

18 EN
