Instructions for installation and use
To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend:
- use only the MANUFACTURER Service
- use only 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
exceedingly 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 exceedingly dangerous.
6. Do not touch the internal cooling elements, especially if your
hands are wet, since you could burn or hurt yourself. Do not
place ice cubes straight from the freezer into your mouth as this
may result in burns.
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).
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. In addition, if the appliance is a new one with a lock, keeo the key out
of the reach of small children.
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
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the
appliance is installed correctly.
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 provide the
appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important
that 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.
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.
Level
The appliance must be level. If the floor is not level, the adjustable feet located in front can be used to level the appliance.
Electrical Connection and Earthing
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure that
the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located within the
freezer, corresponds to the mains voltage in your home and that
the socket is fitted with a standard earthing wire in accordance
with safety standards for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with an earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be held
liability for any damages and or injuries arising out of the use of
the appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access
the socket where it is plugged in.
Insufficient power?
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating
plate
located within the freezer
.
Before making the electrical connection ...
After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical
upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the
plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions properly.

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.
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.
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”)
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 alter-
native plug:
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
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.

A Closer Look
Temperature Adjustment Knob
A
This knob makes it possible to adjust the internal temperature of the freezer with the following settings:
- 1: Freezer is on low;
- 5: Freezer is on high;
- Super: Fast freeze.
By turning the knob from setting "1"
to setting "5" allows you to lower
the temperature.
The Super setting (the yellow "D" indicator light
comes on) is used when fresh foods must be
frozen. Once they have been frozen, the knob must
be returned to one of the normal
settings (3).
Warning Light
B
When this red warning light comes on
for a prolonged period of time, it
means that the freezer is not functioning properly and the temperature is
rising too much. (Call your Service
Centre)
This warning light might come on for
a brief period when:
a) the door is left open for an extended
period of time (when the freezer is
being loaded or unloaded).
b) the “A” knob is turned to the
“Super” setting.
In these two cases, the fact that the
warning light comes on does not
indicate that the freezer is
malfunctioning or there is a defect.
