•Adequate air circulation should be around the appliance, lacking this leads to overheating. To achieve sufficient ventilation follow the instructions relevant to installation.
•Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall to avoid touching or catching warm parts (compressor, condenser) to prevent possible burn.
•The appliance must not be located close to radiators or cookers.
•Make sure that the mains plug is accessible after the installation of the appliance.

Operation
Switching on
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium setting.
Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature regulator to the "O" position.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated. To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
•turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
•turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on:
•room temperature
•how often the door is opened
•the quantity of food stored
•the location of the appliance.
Important! If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.
First use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
Daily use
Temperature indicator
To assist you in controlling your appliance correctly we have fitted a temperature indicator to your refrigerator, placed in the coldest area.
The coldest area of the refrigerator compartment is at the level of the lower glass shelf.
The symbol opposite shows the location of the coldest area of your refrigerator.
The space directly above the glass shelf of the fruit and vegetable drawer is the coldest region of the refrigerator compartment as shown by the shelf or the sticker on the wall of your appliance.
For proper storage of the food in your refrigerator and particularly in the coldest area, ensure that the temperature indicator is displaying “OK”.
If “OK” is not displayed, the average temperature in the area is too high. Adjust the temperature controller to a colder setting. Since the “OK” display is in black, it is difficult to see if the temperature indicator is poorly illuminated. Correct illumination makes it easy to read.

Each time the temperature controller is adjusted, wait for the temperature inside the appliance to stabilise before checking whether another adjustment is required. Only adjust the controller gradually and wait at least 12 hours before checking and perhaps adjusting it again.
Important! After putting fresh food into the appliance or after opening the door repeatedly or for a long period, it is normal for the indicator not to show “OK”; wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the temperature controller.
If the evaporator of the refrigeration compartment (wall at the bottom of the appliance) has an abnormal covering of ice (appliance too full, high ambient temperature, thermostat too high, frequent door opening), gradually move the thermostat control to a lower setting until there are once more periods when the compressor stops. The automatic defrosting of the refrigerator com-
