IMPORTANT NOTES AND
PRECAUTIONS
i BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR
THE FIRST TIME
Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, please read carefully the instructions for use which describe the appliance and its correct and safe use. The instructions apply to several appliance types/ models; thus, settings or equipment may be described herein which is not available in your appliance. We recommend saving this instruction manual for future reference and attach it to the appliance if it is sold in the future.
The instruction manual includes the NO FROST version/model of the freezer which is fitted with a fan and in which the defrosting process is automatic (only with some models).
Check for any damage or irregularities on your appliance. If you find your appliance is damaged, notify the retailer from which you have purchased the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, let the appliance rest in a vertical position for a minimum of 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of operation faults due to the effect of transport on the cooling system.

ADVICE FOR SAVING POWER WITH REFRIGERATION APPLIANCES
•Install the appliance as specified in the instruction manual.
•Do not open the door more often than necessary.
•Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is unobstructed.
•If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for any reason, have it replaced as soon as possible.
•Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.
•Before placing the food in the refrigerator, allow it to cool down to room temperature.
•Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.
•To make use of the entire freezer compartment interior volume, remove some of the drawers as described in the instruction manual.
•Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3–5 millimetre layer of frost or ice has built up on the refrigerated surfaces.
•Make sure the layout of shelves in the compartment is uniform and that the food is placed so that the air can freely circulate in the appliance interior (observe the recommended placement of food as described in the instructions).
•In appliances with a fan, do not block the fan slots or vents.
•If you do not need the fan or the ionizer, switch them off to reduce power consumption.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
SELECTING THE ROOM
•Install the appliance in a dry and well ventilated room. The appliance will operate correctly if the environment temperature is in the interval specified in the table. The appliance class is indicated on the rating plate / label with the basic information on the appliance.

i |
• Do not place an appliance in a room where temperature can drop to |
|
below 5 °C as this may cause abnormal appliance operation or failure! |
||
|
•After the installation, the appliance mains plug should be accessible!
•Do not place the appliance near appliances or devices radiating heat, such as a cooker, a stove, a radiator, water heater etc., and do not expose it to direct sunlight. The appliance should stand at least 3 cm away from an electric or gas cooker or at least 30 cm away from an oil or solid fuel stove. If the distance between such source of heat and the appliance is smaller, use an insulating panel.
Note: Place the appliance in a sufficiently large room. There should be at least 1 m3 of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is indicated on the rating plate in the appliance interior.
•At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the integrated appliance, there should be at least 200 cm2 free space, for adequate air circulation.
On the upper part of the appliance the air is coming out, so try not to cover the opening for the outflow air.
Ignoring this caution may result in damage to the appliance.

APPLIANCE PLACEMENT
> 90°
max 30 mm
Appliance installation should be carried out by at least two persons to avoid any personal injury or damage to the appliance.
•The appliance must stand level or tilted slightly to the back. It should be stable and placed a solid base. At the front, the appliance is fitted with two adjustable feet that can be used to level the appliance. At the rear side, casters allow for easier installation of the appliance (only with some models).
•After you have levelled the appliance using the adjustable feet, adjust the additional foot for extra stability of the appliance.
•There should be a clearance of at least 5 cm between the appliance and any cupboard installed above it, in order to allow adequate cooling of the condenser unit.
•Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight and do not place it near sources of heat. If this cannot be avoided, install an insulation panel.
<![if ! IE]><![endif]>837915
12
•The appliance may be free-standing or it may be placed next to a cupboard, a cabinet or a wall. If you place the appliance next to a cupboard, a cabinet or a wall, its power consumption may increase.
•There has to be a clearance of at least 50 mm between the appliance and any cabinet above it. To allow for adequate ventilation and cooling of the appliance, there has to be sufficient clearance behind the appliance as well (see installation diagram).
•Take into account the space or clearance required to open the appliance door, in order to allow the drawers and shelves to be pulled out or removed (see installation diagram).
