the appliance.

• Connect the transition connector (1) to the household water supply (2).

• The appliance does not require any adjustment or water drain.

WATER CONNECTION

Regulations require that the appliance is earthed. The manufacturer declines
all liability for injury to persons or animals and for damage to property
resulting from failure to observe the prescriptions.
Make sure that the installation and the electrical connection are carried out by
a qualified technician according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local
safety regulations.
If your new appliance is provided with a plug with no earth wire, connect
your green/yellow earth wire (A) to the earth screw located on the appliance
(B) (see figure).
Ensure that the voltage indicated on the appliance data plate corresponds to
the mains voltage.
The plug of the appliance must be easily accessible even after installation so
that the appliance can be unplugged if necessary. If this is not possible,
connect the appliance to the mains supply by means of a two-pole switch with
minimum break distance between contacts of 3 mm, fitted at an easily
accessible point.
If the power supply cable plug and socket are not of the same type, replace
the socket.
Do not use extension leads or adapters.
After installation, make sure that the appliance is not standing on the power
supply cable.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply by unplugging it. Do not pull
the power supply cable.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your new appliance is a FULL NO FROST model
exclusively for domestic use, i.e. both refrigerator and
freezer compartments are provided with an
automatic defrosting function.
This manual contains indications and warnings for
correct and safe installation of the appliance - read it
carefully before starting installation operations.
The model you have purchased may differ slightly
with respect to some descriptions in this manual,
since this manual covers several models.
Keep this manual for future consultation. If you sell
the appliance give it to the new buyer.

Install the appliance in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Avoid locations in direct sunlight or near a source of
heat (oven, heating, etc.). If this cannot be avoided,
install the appliance respecting the following minimum
distances:

Coal or paraffin stoves: 30 cm

Electric and/or gas stoves: 3 cm
To allow product handling and sufficient air
circulation, leave at least 1 cm clearance at the sides,
above the appliance, and between the rear panel and
the wall.

The refrigerator has two front and two rear wheels at the
base of the product on each side that can be adjusted (see
figure A), or four wheels of which only the two front wheels
can be adjusted (see figure B).
If the appliance seems unsteady or you want the doors to
close easier, adjust the appliance's tilt following the
instructions below (depending on the model, as shown in the
figures on the right).

1.Check the installation location to be sure you have at least 1 cm

clearance on all sides including the top.

2.Connect the appliance to the mains power supply.

3.Move the refrigerator into its final position.

4.Open both doors and remove the plinth to locate the levelling bolts

at the left and right of the refrigerator base. The top bolt (1) will
adjust the rear wheel (if provided), and the bottom bolt (2) will
adjust the front wheel.

5.Use the wrench provided to adjust the levelling bolts. Turn the
levelling bolt clockwise to raise the appliance, or anti-clockwise to
lower it.
It may take several turns of the levelling bolts to adjust the tilt of
the refrigerator.

Note: do not unscrew the levelling bolts too much when
lowering the appliance as they could fall out.

Aligning the doors

If, after switching on the appliance and adjusting the refrigerator and
freezer doors, the doors are misaligned, disconnect the appliance
from the power supply and adjust both doors as indicated in the
enclosed diagram.
