re or electric shock. Only activate the appliance
when the installation has been completed.
Be careful not to damage the oors (e.g. parquet)
when moving the appliance. Install the appliance on
a oor or support strong enough to take its weight
and in a place suitable for its size and use. Make sure
the appliance is not near a heat source and that the
four feet are stable and resting on the oor, adjusting
them as required, and check that the appliance is
perfectly level using a spirit level. Wait at least two
hours before switching the appliance on, to ensure
that the refrigerant circuit is fully ecient.
To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space
on both sides and above the appliance. The distance
between the rear of the appliance and the wall
behind the appliance should be 50 mm, to avoid
access to hot surfaces. A reduction of this space will
increase the Energy consumption of product.
WARNING: To avoid a hazard due to instability,
positioning or xing of the appliance must be done
in accordance with the manufacturer instructions. It
is forbidden to place the refrigerator in such way
that the metal hose of gas stove, metal gas or water
pipes, or electrical wires are in contact with the
refrigerator back wall (condenser coil).
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance
from the power supply by unplugging it if plug is
accessible, or by a multi-pole switch installed
upstream of the socket in accordance with the
wiring rules and the appliance must be earthed in
conformity with national electrical safety standards.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any heat
source (eg. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to
the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.
To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
Insucient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy
consumption and decreases cooling eciency.
Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy Consumption.
The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption
may be aected also by the ambient temperature, as well as location of
the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these
factors.
Reduce door opening to a minimum.
When thawing frozen food, place in the refrigerator. The low temperature
of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator. Allow warm
food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the
ecient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such
way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other
and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).
You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets
and, if present, Stop Frost shelf.
Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor which are
described as normal noises in this product’s Quick Guide.
