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) ans 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 readio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).
1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in
an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to
leave it exposed to rain or storms.
2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use
contained in this manual.
3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet
or with wet hands or feet.
4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension
cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not
bent or dangerously pinched or compressed.
5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the
plug from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.
6. Never touch the cooling components within the appliance,
especially with wet hands because this could result in injury.
Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your
mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause
burns.
7. Never clean the appliance or perform maintenance without
first disconnecting it from the electrical mains. Turning the
thermostat knob to the setting does not suffice to break
all electrical contact with the mains.
8. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal,
remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent
children who might play in or around the appliance from
being locked inside.
9. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of malfunction, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem?
to determine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem.
do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal components of the appliance.
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.
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.
Electrical Connection and Earthing
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure
that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the
bottom left near the vegetable crisper, 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 at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.
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.

How to Start the Appliance
NOTICE
After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the
upright position and wait approximately 3 hours before connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee
that it operates properly.
Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean
the interior well with warm water and baking soda.
After putting the plug in the socket, make sure that the light
is on inside the appliance and then turn the thermostat knob
(A) to the “3” setting. After a few hours have passed, you
can place fresh food in the refrigerator compartment and
frozen foods into the freezer.
How to use the refrigerator compartment...
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 amount 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 given 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 the ambient temperature
high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the
formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to
an increase in energy consumption.
To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob
to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically.
