Two-doors refrigerator-freezer

Instructions for installation and use

To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend:

- call only the Service Centers authorized by the manufacturer

- always use original Spare Parts

Safety - a good habit to get into.

ATTENTION
Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions
which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of
your appliance.
Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards
(EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark
(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.
It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimi­nation of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).

1. This appliance is designed to be used indoors and under
no circumstances should it be installed outside even if
protected by a roof. Leaving the appliance exposed to the
rain and whether is very dangerous.

2. The appliance should be used only by adults and exclusively
for storing foodstuffs in compliance with the instructions
provided in this manual. Under no circumstances should
children be allowed to operate, or tamper with, this product.

3. Do not attempt to operate or handle this appliance when
barefoot, or with wet hands or feet.

4. It is highly recommended that you do not operate this
appliance by connecting it to the power supply with extensions
or multiple socket plugs. If the refrigerator has been installed
between two cabinets, make sure that the supply chord is
not dangerously crimped or trapped beneath a heavy object.

5. Never pull the cable or the appliance to remove the plug
from the socket; this is very dangerous.

6. Do not touch the internal cooling elements, especially if
your hands are wet, since you could burn or hurt yourself.

7. Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from
the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general
switch in your home); it is not enough to place the tempera­ture regulation knob on to cut off the power.

8. Before disposing of your old appliance, remember to break
or remove the lock as a safety measure to protect children
who might lock themselves inside the appliance when playing.

9. If your appliance is not operating properly, read the chapter
entitled, “Trouble Shooting”, which might help you resolve
the problem, before calling an after-sales service centre. Do
not attempt to repair the appliance by tampering with the
internal components.

10. If the power supply cord must be replaced, please contact
one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases, the
connections are made using special terminals and in others a
special tool must be used to access the connections.

11. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment
for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the
manufacturer.

12. At the end of the functional life of your appliance –
containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and
perhaps gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit –
the latter should made safe before being sent to the dump.
For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local
Organisation in charge of waste disposal.

Installation

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 ventilated 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
for the room not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.
For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave:

- a space of at least 10 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.

To install the appliance between furniture units, please
follow the instructions provided on the attached sheet.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.

Levelling

The floor should be perfectly level; if not, you 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 crisper, corre­sponds to that of your home and that the socket is earthed
in compliance with all current electrical regulations. If the
system is not earthed, the manufacturer declines all liability
for consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or
multiple sockets.

Check the power load

The electrical socket must support the maximum power load
of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom
left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper).

Before plugging the appliance to the mains

Stand the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before
plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper per­formance.

Electrical connection

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug that
can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before
using the appliance please read the instructions below.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED
OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Replacing the fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse
to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re­fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used
until a replacement is obtained.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or

or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.

Connect Brown wire to terminal marked “L” or coloured
Red.
Connect Blue wire to terminal marked “N” or coloured Black.
If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13
amp fuse. A 15 amp plug must be protected by a 15 amp
fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.
If you are in any doubt about the electrical supply to your
machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct
colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that
is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements
can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and
you should wish to remove it to add a cable extension or to
re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please
ensure that either:

- the plug is replaced by a fused 13 amp re-wireable plug
bearing the BSI mark of approval
or:

- the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet,
controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which
is accessible without moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make
the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted
into a socket. Instructions for connecting cable to an

alternative plug:

Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live

How to connect an alternative plug:

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
BLUE “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLOW “EARTH” (“E”)
