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.
7
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.
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.

1. 5 Dismantle the handles by sliding the handle-cover, by unscrewing its
side and middle screws and reassemble them on the opposite side. Cover
the holes left open with the plugs contained in the documentation pack.
Attention: After having reversed the opening direction of the doors check that
all the screws are properly tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the
cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not
fit perfectly to the cabinet. in that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal
hairdrier.
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.
Prior to Initial Start–Up
• Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-
up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
10
Starting up and temperature regulation
• Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protective earth contact. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the
internal lighting is switched on. The temperature selector knob is located
on the RH side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting „0“ means: Off.
Setting „1“ means: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting „6“ (end-stop) means: Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in the mind that the
temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer co partment
cannot be independently regulated.
If you want the freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting „6“, ensuring that the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop blow 0°C. You
should also promptly reset the temperature regulator to setting „3“ or „4“.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on
the temperature regulator (position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to
run continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting
(position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and
off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
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.

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.
Variable Storage Box
Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under
a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways.
The box can be inserted under any
door shelf compartment.
1. To change the position of the storage box; lift the shelf compartment
with the box upwards and out of the
holders in the door and remove the
retaining bracket out of the guide
under the shelf compartment.
2. Reverse the above operation to insert
the shelf at a different height.
12
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.
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 ( see fig1) The green light,
when on, means that the fan is
working.
It is suggested that the fan
(D.A.C.) be used when the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C .
It should be remembered that
the thermostat knob must be
placed (see fig.2) within the sec-
tor .
This device allows for rapid cooling of foods and a more uniform
temperature in the compartment.
