Installation

! Before operating your new appliance, please read
these operating instructions carefully. They contain
important information for safe use, installation and care
of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the
appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free
room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor
and condenser give off heat and require good
ventilation to operate correctly and save energy.
3. Ensure the appliance is far away from any sources of
heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
Electrical connections
After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it
to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into
the electrical socket ensure the following:
The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate
located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150
W).
The voltage must be in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom
left side (e.g. 220-240V).
The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance).
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced
by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should
these safety measures not be observed.

Start-up and use
GB
Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the
installation instructions (see Installation).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water
and bicarbonate.
1. Plug the appliance in; make sure that the set
TEMPERATURE indicator light is illuminated and
showing the level +4°.
2. If necessary, use the relevant ADJUSTMENT button
to set the temperature to an intermediate value. After
a few hours you will be able to put food in the
refrigerator.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself in accordance with the
selected temperature level as displayed by the
corresponding indicator light. The selected
temperature indicates the desired level of refrigeration.
+8° = warmest
+2° = coldest
We recommend, however, an intermediate position is
used
(+4°/+6°).
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside
the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for
increased space and improved aesthetics. During
operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or
water
droplets depending on whether the compressor
is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is
functioning normally.
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way:
the colder air tends to move downwards as it is
heavier. The food should be stored as follows:

Fresh cheese

If the temperature adjustment system has been set to a
low value (colder), with large quantities of food and a
high room temperature, the appliance may operate
continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and
excessive energy consumption: this may be avoided
by using the ADJUSTMENT button to set the
temperature to a higher value (warmer); automatic
defrosting will then take place.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the
shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable (see
diagram), allowing easy storage
of large containers and food.
Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
Use the ADJUSTMENT button to activate the SUPER
COOL (rapid cooling) function, which will lower the
temperature quickly. This is useful, for example,
when you place a large number of new food items
inside the refrigerator and you need to counteract
the slight rise in its internal temperature. This
function is automatically deactivated after the
required amount of time has passed.
Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the
compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and
tips).
Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than
raw foods.
Do not store liquids in open containers. They will
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause
condensation to form.
