Wait at least two hours before switching the
appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant
circuit is fully efficient.
3.
Installation and the electrical connection must
be carried out by a qualified technician,
according to the manufacturer's instructions
and local safety regulations.
4.
Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.
1.Packaging
The packaging material is 100% recyclable and

comply with the local regulations. Keep packing
materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.)
out of the reach of children, as they are a
potential source of danger.
2.Scrapping/Disposal
The appliance is manufactured using recyclable
material.
This appliance is marked according to the European
directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
By ensuring that this appliance is disposed of
correctly, you are helping to prevent potentially
damaging consequences for the environment
and for human health.
The symbol on the appliance, or on the
accompanying documents, indicates that this
appliance should not be treated as domestic waste
but must be taken to a special collection centre for
the recycling of electrical and electronic
equipment.
When scrapping the appliance, make it unusable
by cutting off the power cable and removing the
doors and shelves so that children cannot easily
climb inside and become trapped.
Scrap the appliance in compliance with local
regulations on waste disposal, taking it to a
special collection centre; do not leave the

a natural gas of low environmental impact.
Caution is required, however, since isobutane is
flammable. Therefore, ensure that refrigerant
circuit pipelines are not damaged.

internal controls
,when the appliance is
connected to the mains, the inside light switches on when the
refrigerator door is opened (as long as the thermostat knob is
not turned to
z
.
The thermostat, located inside the refrigerator compartment
or on the front panel of the appliance, is used to adjust the
temperature of both the refrigerator compartment and low
temperature compartment (if fitted).
Adjusting temperature
1.
For correct operation and optimum storage of food,
follow instructions given in the enclosed product
sheet for thermostat adjustment.
2.
To adjust the temperature in the compartment, turn the
thermostat control knob:
•
to
lower numbers 1-2/MIN
for the
LEAST COLD
internal temperatures;
•
to
3-4/MED
for a
MEDIUM
temperature;
•
to
5-7/MAX
for the
COLDEST
temperature.
Thermostat setting on
z
: no operation, no light.
Note:
The ambient air temperature, frequency of door opening and
the position of the appliance can affect internal temperatures.
Take these factors into consideration when setting the
thermostat knobs.
How to store food in the refrigerator
compartment
Position the food as shown in the figure.
A Cooked food
BFish, meat
C Fruit and vegetables
D Bottles
E Cheese
