models).

Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, let the appliance rest in a vertical position for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of operation faults due to the effect of transport on the cooling system.

The appliance may not be used outdoors and it may not be exposed to rain.

Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

Before cleaning the appliance, unplug the appliance from the power line (unplug the power cord from the wall outlet).

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service technician or other adequately trained person.

If the appliance will be out of use for a prolonged period of time, switch it off using the relevant button, and unplug the appliance from the power line. Empty the appliance, defrost it, clean it, and leave the door ajar.

If LED lighting does not work, call a service technician. Do not attempt a repair of the LED lighting yourself, as there is danger of contact with high voltage!

ADVICE FOR SAVING POWER WITH REFRIGERATION APPLIANCES

• Install the appliance as speciﬁ ed in the instruction manual.

• Do not open the door more often than necessary.

• Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is unobstructed.

• Condenser unit on the rear wall should be kept clean (see chapter Cleaning the appliance).

• If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for other reasons, have it replaced as soon as possible.

• Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.

• Before placing the food in the appliance, cool it to room temperature.

• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.

• Remove the drawers from the freezer compartment as described in the instruction manual, in order to make use of the entire interior.

• Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3-5 milimeter (1/8 to 1/4 inch) 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.

• If you do not need the fan or the ionizer, switch them o to reduce power consumption.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

SELECTING THE ROOM

• Do not install the refrigerator where temperatures will be below 55°F or above 110°F, because it will not maintain proper temperatures, and the refrigerator could develop high internal humidity.

Warning: Make sure the room where the appliance is installed is large enough. There should be at least 1 m3 of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is stated on the rating plate in the appliance interior.

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

Appliance installation should be carried

out by at least two persons to avoid any physical injury or damage to the appliance.

• The appliance must stand level or tilted

max

30 mm

> 90°

slightly to the back, stable on a solid base. At the front, the appliance is ﬁ tted with two adjustable legs that can be used to level the appliance. At the rear side, casters allow for easier installation of the appliance (only with some models).

• There should be a clearance of at least 5 cm (2 ) between the appliance and any cupboard installed above it, in order to allow adequate cooling of the condenser unit.

• The appliance is supplied with two spacers which should be installed on the lower part of the housing to prevent the installer from pushing the appliance too close to the wall. Appliance may also be installed without the spacers; however, this may increase power consumption.

• Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight and do not place it near any source of heat. If this cannot be avoided, install an insulation panel.

545433

• The appliance may stand alone or it may be placed next to a cupboard or a wall. For most e cient operation, leave at least 4

of space on either side. Consider the clearance required to fully open the door in order to allow pulling out the drawers and shelves (see installation diagram).

CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE

• Connect the appliance to the power socket using a connection cable. The wall outlet should be ﬁ tted with a ground contact (safety socket). Nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate/label with basic information on the appliance.

• The appliance must be connected to the power line and grounded in compliance with the e ective standards and regulations. The appliance will withstand short-term deviations from the nominal voltage, but not more than +/- 6%.
