This section details the main safety warnings.
Read it carefully before installing and using the equipment.

• Always keep the instruction manual and, if you sell the equipment, hand it over to the
new owner.

• This equipment must not be installed outdoors, not even under the cov er of roofi ng; it is
extremely dangerous to expose it to rain, storms and bad weather in general.

• We recommend waiting at least an hour before connecting the equipment so that the oil
in the cooling circuit is perfectly efficient.

• The equipment must be used exclusively for domestic preservation and/or freezing of
food. - Packaging materials such as plastic bags, polystyrene, plastic ta pe must be kept
out of reach of children as they are potential sources of danger.

• Do not allow children to play with the equipment, e.g. sitting in the drawers or swinging
on the door. The freezer could tip over or objects on top might fall off.

• Do not use the moldings, drawers, doors or grids to stand on.

• Be careful not to damage the cooling fluid circuit during positioning, installation or

cleaning. Having installed the equipment make sure it's not resting on the power cable.

• It is not advisable to use extensions or multiple plugs for connecting to the power
supply.

• Never touch or operate with bare feet or wet hands or feet.

• Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, disconnect the equipmen t

at the power outlet or switch off your entire power system.

• Each grid or basket can take a maximum distributed load of 18 kg.

• To disconnect the equipment from the mains supply, remove the plug but don't do this

by pulling the cable.

• Don't put glass bottles or other containers in the freezer compartment as they might
crack or break when the contents are frozen.

• Avoid flames or sparks inside the equipment.

• Do not consume food of which the storag e deadline has expi red, as this may cause food

poisoning. - Do not obstruct the equipment's ventilation openings/grills.

• During defrosting, never use metallic objects to accelerate the process. Failure to
observe this rule could cause irreparable damage to the cooling fluid circuit.

• Do not use electrical appliances (ice-cream makers, deodorizers, etc.) inside the
equipment.

Any maintenance, including replacement of the power cable, must be done by the
technical assistance service or other qualified personnel. To ignore this rule is to
run a very dangerous risk.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

This equipment was designed and built with the maximum respect for the environment.
To guarantee the same scrupulosity when it's disposed of (given the presence of poll utant o r

inflammable materials, e.g. lubricant in the compressor), never abandon the equipment
outside. Contact the local authority responsible for collection and disposal.

Don't throw the packaging material from your equipment in the rubbish but sort t he various
materials (e.g. polystyrene, cardboard, plastic bags) as required by local waste disposal
authorities in pursuance of current legislation.

This equipment does not contain CFCs (the cooling circuit contains R134a) or HFC’s (the
cooling circuit contains R600a - ISOBUTANE).

To check what gas is used, see the technical data plate on the equipment.

For equipment with ISOBUTANE (R600a)

Isobutene is a natural gas that doesn't affect the environment, but it is inflammable.
It is therefore indispensable to check that the cooling circuit tubing is not d amaged before

connecting the equipment to the mains.

• For every 8 g of cooling fluid, the installation location must have a minimum volum e of 1
cubic meter. The amount of cooling fluid in the appliance is indicated on the technical
data plate inside the freezer.

• Leakage of cooling fluid: avoid naked flames or other sources of ignition at the seat of
the leakage.

INSTALLATION

In order to avoid damage to persons or property, the equi pment should be installed by two
persons. In the event of damage to the equipment during transport, immediately inform the
supplier before proceeding to installation. The equipment must be placed in a dry, well
ventilated position.

The equipment must be installed on a flat, stable surface, using the adjustable feet if
necessary and following the instructions provided inside the product.

In fitting the equipment inside the unit make sure you don't squash the power cable.
Air inflow to and outflow from the equipment must be ensured by means of an aperture in

the skirting board and a vertical slit in the rear of the unit.
Minimum transverse section of aperture in skirting board and slit: 250cm

.

Ambient temperature has a considerable influence on energy consumption, so the
equipment should not be exposed to direct sunlight or placed by heat sources such as
radiators, heaters, cookers, etc. If necessary install insulation paneling against the sides of
the unit.

Check the climate classification on the technical data plate inside the equipment, on the left
hand side.

"SN" (operates at ambient temperatures between) +10° C and +32° C
"N" (operates at ambient temperatures between) +16° C and +32° C
"ST" (operates at ambient temperatures between) +16° C and +38° C
"N" (operates at ambient temperatures between) +18° C and +43° C

INSTALLATION IN KITCHEN FURNITURE

In the case of modular kitchen assemblies with the dimensions indicated in Figure 12, the
unit may be installed under the worktop.

Pre-installation warnings

A front panel (door) is sufficient for installation.
If the equipment is mounted at either end of a kitchen block, it is also necessary to provide

covering for the sidewall.
We recommend placing the power outlet in an e asily accessible position, preferably outside

the area hidden by the equipment.

Reversing the door

If the door needs to open in the opposite direction fr om the factory mounting, proceed as
follows:

• Detach the door and reverse the hinges diametrically as shown in Figure 2.

• See Figure 4 for reversing the door on the model with the internal cell.

• Unscrew the bottom hinge (Figure 4-A) and the door stop (Figure 4- B).

• Remove the door and mount on the other side.

• Remount the bottom hinge and stop on the other side as indicated inside the cell.

• Remount the bench door and proceed with the installation procedure.

Installation

• Attach the co-extruded profile to the unit as shown in Figure 1.

• Lay out the power cable so that it's easy to connect up after installation.

• Push the equipment into the recess till the front edge of the hinge is level with the

front edge of the body of the adjacent unit.

• Raise the equipment using the adjustable feet till the top reaches the work top

(Figure 3).

• To raise the equipment turn the feet towards the left and then block the lock-nut by

turning it to the right.

• Once the unit is correctly positioned, attach the hinges to the unit as shown in

Figure 6.

Mounting the baseboard
The equipment's performance may be limited if the original ventilation grid isn't
used.

• Remove the ventilation grid by acting on the fixtures as shown in Figure 11-A.

• The baseboard can be mounted without need for modification as long as the

maximum recess clearance is 820 mm and the height of the baseboard is 100 mm.

• The same applies if the maximum recess clearance is 870 mm and the height of the

baseboard is 150 mm.

• If the height of the baseboard is greater than the 100 or 150 mm in the previous two

points, the width of the baseboard must be cut to 580 mm, while its height must be
suitably reduced (to 100 or 150).

• Rest the baseboard against the unit. Mark off and cut the part projecting beyond the

grid console. Remove the baseboard before cutting it. If the cutting groove isn't lev el
with the front edge of the baseboard, use the previous groove for cutting, as shown
in Figure 10.

• Fix the baseboard to the kitchen block.

• Replace the ventilation grid.
