Proper installation of the appliance is essential to ensure the best and most efficient performance of your appliance. Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventil ated properly. Rooms with less than perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with an opening (window or French window) that provides the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important that the room should not be too humid. During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the grates that allow proper ventilation of the appliance. For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave:

- a space of at least 1 0 cm between the top part and any cabinets above it;

- a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is

directly exposed to sunli ght or near an oven, cook top or the

like.

Levelling

The floor should be perfectl y levelled; if not, y ou can adjust the feet at the front of the appliance.

Earthing

Before making the electrical connection, check that the voltage shown on the data plate, that you will find on the bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the cris per, corresponds to that of you r mains and that the sock et is earthed in conformity with all current electrical regulations. If the system is not earthed, th e manufacturer declines all liability for consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or multiple sockets.

Check the power load

The electrical socket m ust support the maxi mum power load of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom left hand side of the ap pliance next to the cr isper).

Before plugging the appliance to the mains

Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours b efore plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper performance.

Safety - a good habit to get into.

How to Start the Appliance

NOTICE After the appliance has been delivered,s tand it in the upright position and wait approximately 3 hours before connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee that it operates prorerly.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda.

After having plugg ed the appliance in, make sure that pilot lamp “A” is light. Set knob ‘B’ onto a medium position and can place food in the fridge after only a few hours. When the freezer has reached the optimum temperature, you can place frozen food in the freezer.

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance

1 = less cold 5 = colder

It is recommended that a medium setting be used . To increase the amoun t of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compartment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on

whether the compressor is operating or not at a set time.

Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operating normally. If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and th e ambient temperature is high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the forma tion of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an incr ease in energy consumption.

To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically.

Storing food in the Refrigerator Compartment

What Should Not be Stored in the Refrigerator

Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks. Bananas (they will turn black). Citrus fruits. Potatoes and root vege tables (store in dark, dry places).

- Within the refrigerator com partment, the air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling down because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above the vegetable contai ner.

- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remai n edible for any extended amount of time.

- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture within the refrig erator, causing the formation of frost.

- Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the compressor to work har der and use more ener gy.

- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods are not stored any longer than raw food.

- The refrigerator com partment is equipped with convenient, removable shelves, which can be adjusted for height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large containers and fo odstuffs in the refri gerator.

- Be careful not to place con tainers (plastic or gl ass), food or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, in-crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).

How to use the refrigerator compartment ...

How to use the freezer compartment ...

For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual.

- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again.

- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conservation depends on the speed of freezing.

- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer.

- Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data plate situated inside the refrigerator compartment.

- For the best conservation and defrosting, remember t o freeze small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform freezing. Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was frozen.

- In the ca se of pow er fai lure or br eakdown , do not

open the freezer door. This will help maintain the tempera-

ture inside the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 17 hours.

- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase in volume when frozen).

-If the room temperature remains below 14°C for an extended period of time the freezer will not reach the temperatures required for storage, and storage life will be shorter. In this case, frozen foodstuffs should be used within a relatively short period of time.

To remove the container from they housing, push the container upwards and then pull it out. To put the container back in place, insert the top part into the special housing and, once in a vertical position, just let it drop into place.

Instructions for use

Fill up the container with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice whi ch could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes. If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the container and re-fill it with water. Once you have filled the ice container up with water through the hole indicated, turn it by 90º. Thanks to the connected compartments, the water fills up wi th the special cap and places the ice container in the inner door of the freezer compartment. Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the container against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away from their housing and come out of the same hole used to fill the container with water. To make it easier for the ice cubes to come out, wet the outside of the container. WARNING: every time you fill up the ice container with water, make sure that the same is completely emp ty and that there are no traces of i ce left inside it. The minimum time requ ired for ice to form wel l is approximately 8 hours.

Ice container This new concept of i ce container is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the inner door of the freezer compa rtment ensures greater ergonomics and cleanlin ess: the ice no longer com es into contact with the f ood placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermor e, the dripping of th e water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover u p the hole after filling with water is also provided).
