¥ Any electrical work required to install this appliance

should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

¥ Parts which heat up should not be exposed.

Whenever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions.

¥ The appliance should be left for 2 hours after instal-

lation before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Child Safety

play with the product.

¥ Keep all packaging well away from children.

General Safety

cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

¥ Take utmost care when handling your appliance

so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.

¥ The appliance must not be located close to

cookers, radiators or boilers.

¥ Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to

direct sunlight.

¥ Do not use other electrical appliances (such as

ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances.

During Use

¥ This appliance is designed for domestic use only,

specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs.

¥ Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has

thawed out.

¥ Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the

freezer.

¥ Do not remove items from the freezer if your

hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

sumed straight from the freezer.

¥ ManufacturersÕ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

¥ The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves

in this appliance contain channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this will cause substantial damage to the appliance and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under NO circumstances should solid ice be forced off the lining or shelves. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw, when defrosting the appliance. See Defrost Instructions.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

Height adjustment

The height of the appliance is adjustable from 820 to 870 mm to line up with existing kitchen units.

Before installing the appliance between units, adjust the height of the feet and rear wheels. The wheels are factory set for a height of 820 mm. To align the appliance to a height of 870 mm, raise it by adjusting the feet with a spanner, then remove the wheels and refit them in the lowest position.

Fitting the side panels

¥ Fit the brackets onto the panels in the positions

shown in the diagram. The dimension of 132 mm is allowed for fitting a 100 mm plinth below the panel. For different plinth sizes, reduce or increase the dimension of 132 mm accordingly.

¥ Rest the panels against the appliance.

¥ Fit the rear brackets, taking into account the

thickness of the panels (maximum width of unit 900 mm).

¥ Secure the panels at the front. If using panels

less than 20 mm thick, fit spacer plates C, supplied with the appliance, on the hinge side.

Warning light

The alarm light B indicates when the temperature inside the freezer compartment has risen to a point at which safe storage of frozen foods can no longer be guaranteed. When the appliance is first started up, or after having loaded a quantity of food to be frozen, this warning light will stay on until a safe storage temperature has been reached.

Electronic thermometer

The electronic thermostat C consists of 6 pilot lights. Each light corresponds to a temperature inside the freezer. Frequent or prolonged opening of the doors may slightly modify the temperature indicated. Temperature variations can also occur if excessive quantities of food are loaded into the freezer (see freezing capacity).

OPERATION

Starting up

¥ Turn switch E until the pointer is opposite the ÇIÈ

symbol (pilot lights A and B will come on).

¥ Turn refrigerator temperature knob G and freezer

temperature knob F to the required position; in general a mid position is best (the lower the number, the warmer the temperature).

¥ Pilot light D comes on when knob F is tumed to

position ÇSÈ.

The refrigerator and freezer are switched off by turning switch E to position ÇOÈ.

Before using

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Refrigerator compartment

¥ Do not place hot food or drinks in the refrigerator;

wait until they have cooled to room temperature.

¥ Always cover foods, especially those which have

a strong flavour.

¥ Place foods so that air can circuiate freely round

them.

The thermostat position may be adjusted to compensate for temperature variations due to:

¥ The frequency with which the doors are opened.

¥ Difference in ambient temperature.

¥ Quantity of food being stored.

To make the best use of available space, the front half-shelves may be stacked on top of the rear halfshelves.

During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.

Drinks dispenser

The ideal way to trave cool drinks Çon tapÈ.

Take a bottle of your favourite drink and fit the special dispenser top.

Place the bottle upside down in the holder on the inside of the door and secure it with clamp B.

Press the glass gently against the tab to dispense drinks.

If the dispenser will not fit the bottle, use special adaptor A, supplied with the appliance.

To ensure proper operation, it is general best to avoid dispensing freshly squeezed fruit juice

Wash the dispenser from time to time.

Warning

IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.

Positioning

This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rating plate, which is located on the inside left of the appliance.

The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification.

SN +10¡C to + 32¡C

ST +18¡C to + 38¡C

The appliance should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from continuous heat and extreme temperature, e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse. If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. warmer or colder, then the appliance may not operate correctly.

For building-in instructions please refer to the instructions on the following pages.

INSTALLATION

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
