Remove transport safeguard

The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.

• Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance.

Installation

Installation Location

The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should

therefore – not be exposed to direct sunlight; – not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; – only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to

the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.

The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.

Climate classification for an ambient temperature of

SN +10 bis +32 °C

N +16 bis +32 °C

ST +18 bis +38 °C

T +18 bis +43 °C

The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: each climate classification:

If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:

– for electric cookers 3 cm; – for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.

NP008

100 mm15 mm

15 mm

If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.

If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.

Your appliance needs air

For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown Fig.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

Rear spacers

Inside the appliance you find two spacers which must be fitted.

Slacken the screws and insert the spacer under the screw head, then re-tighten the screws.

Electrical connection

Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the installation location.

e.g.: AC 230 ... 240 V 50 Hz or

230 ... 240 V~ 50 Hz (i.e. 230 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz) The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left. A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The

supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps. If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical

installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact separation of 3 mm).

Attention: The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a skilled electrician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department for repairs.

Interior Accessories

Storage Shelves

The glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartment should always remain in position, to ensure fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer.

The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights:

Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse.

Variable Inner Door

The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed.

D338

Bottle holder

Place the bottles (with the opening facing front) in the pre- positioned shelf.

If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only closed bottles.

This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order to store previously opened bottles.

To obtain this result, pull the shelf up so it can rotate upwards and be placed on the next higher level.

Moisture regulator

There is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartments. The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted with the slider. Right slider: Ventilation slots opened.

With the ventilation slots open, more air circulation results in a lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments. Left slider: Ventilation slots closed. When the ventilation slots are closed, the natural moisture content of the food in the fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for longer.

PR271

Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables. There is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different positions to allow for the subdivision best suited to personal needs. There is a grille on the bottom of the drawer to separate the fruit and vegetables from any humidity that may form on the bottom surface. To remove the drawer, use the side handles (as shown in the Fig.). All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.

Air recycling

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a special D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which can be turned on with the switch B, with the green light on the fan is working. As suggestion the fan (D.A.C.) should be used with ambient temperature exceeding 25°C .

This device allows rapid cooling of foods and a more uniform temperature in the compartment.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

• Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it. Useful hints: Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above

the vegetable drawer(s)For safety, store in this way only one or two days

at the most. Cooked foods, cold dishes , etc: these should be covered and may be placed

on any shelf. Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the

special drawer(s) provided. Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or

wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bootles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Freezing and storing frozen food

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.

Important!

• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder

before freezing food.

• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The freezing

capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause

increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.

• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.

• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)

may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.

• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.

There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.

• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when

the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer , wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer . Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.

• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not

dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.

• Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

• Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the fr ozen

food could begin to defrost.

Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.

1. Place the food to be frozen on the freezer shelf.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes.

These are insert on the sides of the upper freezer drawer.

Pull out the upper freezer drawer . Extract the ice-tray.

Pull out the tap. Fill with water to the limit

indicated. “MAX”. Refit the tap and insert the tray

in the appropriate place. To remove the ice cubes rotate

the tray with the ice needles towards the top and hit on a rigid surface.

To semplify the release of the ice needles it is recommended to keep the closed tray under if possible luke warm water for a few seconds.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer .

Freezing Calendar

• The symbols show different types of frozen goods.

• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.

Installation of the charcoal filter

On delivery the charcoal filter is placed in a plastic bag to secure the length of life of the charcoal filter. The filter should be placed behind the flap before the appliance is turned on.

• Pull the cover outward

• The charcoal filter is then mounted in the slot found in the back of the cover.
