1. BEFORE STARTING THE APPLIANCE

Check that the cabinet is undamaged. Please report
any damage immediately to your dealer. Wash the
cabinet and inner lining with a mild unscented
detergent and wipe it dry. Do not use abrasive
scouring powder, steel wool or similar. Connection to
the electricity supply. See head 7 and 8.

2. HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

Operating panel (see fig. (5) page (4)

1. Thermostat Knob

2. Indicator for the connection to the electricity
supply (green).

3. Switch for light

The thermostat knob is adjustable from 0 (stop) to 7
(coldest). Find the position of the thermostat which
gives you the desired temperature. Start at position 4.
It should give you a temperature of around 14º.

DEFROSTING

The evaporator is automatically defrosted.
The defrost water is led to a tray on top of the
compressor where it evaporates

3. MAINTENANCE

Only use an unscented detergent when clearing the
cabinet inside.
You may remove the top panel and wash it when
cleaning the cabinet inside.
Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug when
cleaning the cabinet.
The skirting board at the bottom, can be removed to
facilitate a vacuum-cleaning of the floor. See fig. (1)
page (5). To remove it, unscrew the two screws on the
front and pull slightly downward the board before
pulling it to you.

To make the cooling system work at its optimum it is
necessary from time to time to clean the wire
condenser and the compressor at the back of the
cabinet by means of a brush or vacuum cleaner.
Remember to clean the drain, making sure it is never
obturated by a piece of label or else.

IMPORTANT

In case of damage to the power cord it must be
replaced by a power cord of corresponding type,
available from the manufacturer or his service
representative.

4. HAS THE APPLIANCE STOPPED
WORKING?

Before calling a repairman, check that

! The plug is properly plugged into the socket.
! The fuse is intact.
! The power has not been cut off.
! All controls are correctly set.
! Switch off the cabinet for 15 minutes (for instance

at the thermostat). Switch it on again and after 5
minutes check whether frost has formed on the
evaporator.

! Do not open the cabinet when unnecessary.

5. SAFETY

Do not store explosive substances in the refrigerator

section, such as gas, cigarette lighters, petrol, ether or
similar. Scrapped cabinets may become dangerous to
children at play. Therefore, remove the doors or place
the scrapped cabinet in such a way that children
cannot enter it.

Never store liquids with carbon dioxide.

6. TECHNICAL DATA

This appliance meets the provisions of the following
directives: 89/336/EEC (electro-magnetic
compatibility), 73/23/EEC (electrical equipment
designed for use within certain voltage limits) as
amended.

Household appliances sold in the EU also meet
96/57/EEC (energy efficiency requirements) as
amended.

The rating plate, which is placed in side the appliance
(see fig. (6) page (4), provides various technical
information as well as type and serial numbers.

7. INSTALLATION

See drawings-fig.1 page (5)-fig. (2a), (2b), (2c), (2d)
and (3) page (6).

Install the cabinet in a dry place so that it is not
exposed to direct sunlight or any other source of heat.
Place the cabinet in a level position. This is easily
achieved by adjusting the adjustable feet at the front
edge of the base. To do this, either ask somebody to
help you to tilt backward the cabinet, holding it in such
position that you can have access to the feet, or undo
the skirting board (see maintenance).

The cabinet may not rest against a wall on its hinged
side.(you need to open the door more than 90º to take
the shelves out)

When placing the cabinet on a carpet or on a wooden
floor you should adjust it once more after some time
as the cabinet might settle in soft foundations.

If you want to build the appliance into a cupboard you
must consider 3 factors:

1. There must be space above the appliance in
order to make the cooling system work
satisfactorily.-Fig. (2a) page (6).

- Loosen the two little screws underneath the black
plastic cover and which holds the cover in place (do
not unscrew them completely since it would be very
difficult to screw them back.)

- Remove the plastic cover by pulling it out.

- Using the Stanley keys supplied with the cabinet,
unscrew the upper hinge.

- Remove the door.

- Unscrew the bottom hinge.

- Use the removed upper hinge as the new bottom
hinge. To do this, you will have to rotate the hinge
180º and to undo the pivot and the counter nut so that
you can replace the latter in the right position.
(upright).

- Rotate the glass door 180º and replace it on the
new bottom hinge.

- Install the new upper hinge. (ex right bottom hinge).
Make sure it is correctly positioned and the door seals
properly.

- Tighten all the nuts of the hinges (top and bottom).

- Replace the black plastic cover. (You will have to
remove a small piece of the panel from the cabinet,
located near the new left upper hinge in order to put
the cover completely in place. You will see easily what
to do when you will do it)

- Tighten the two little screws in order to fix the cover.

2. the distance to the wall at the hinge side must be
of a sufficient size.-Fig (3) page (6) in order to
open the door more than 90º. (or the door frame
must be ouside, not flush with the wall.)

In addition, the wine cabinet may be built in or
positioned alongside another unit-fig. (3) page 6. In
such case, a 25mm gap must be left between the two
cabinets.

Any local installation rules for appliances of this kind
must be observed. During a storm the electricity
supply might be cut off. You should be aware of this
when installing the appliance in weekend cottages or
elsewhere where you would not immediately observe
that the power has been cut off. Construction and
details in the accessories are subject to alteration
without previous notice.

8. CHANGE OF HINGE SIDE

Follow the instructions below if you wish to install the
door hinges at the opposite side. (all our cabinets are
delivered right hinged).See the drawings on page (7).

9. LIGHTING FIXTURE

See the drawing on page (7).

1. Pull the screen to the left

2. Pull down the right side of the screen and take it
out.

• Remove the strip by pulling it out of the tracks along
the whole length of the profile.

• The fluorescent tube can be replaced.
To replace the screen, follow the same process but in

reverse order. The light switch can be replaced
without removing the screen.

When disposing of the appliance, please contact
the technical administration or other appropriate
