Installation

! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read
these operating instructions carefully. They contain important
information for safe use, for installation and for care of the
appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference.
Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the
appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm
between the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct
sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the
appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in
the installation kit, following the instructions provided.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by
tightening or loosening the front feet.
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the
electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical
socket ensure the following:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the
bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
• The voltage must be in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side
(e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the
socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised
technician to replace it ( see Assistance ). Do not use
extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable
and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

Stability bracket
WARNING: To prevent the fridge from tilting forwards, it must be
held in place with the stability bracket supplied.
This is the responsibility of the customer.
Fixed to the floor or wall at the rear of the fridge, the stability
bracket hooks onto the compressor mounting plate holding the
fridge secure.
The stability bracket must be installed securely in
accordance with these instructions BEFORE using the

fridge.

Note: The fridge is heavy so care must be taken when
moving it.
1. Position the fridge in its chosen location.
2. Looking from the front of the fridge, mark the position of the left
hand panel.
3. Move the fridge far enough away to get clear access to the
back wall.
4. In order to clear components on the compressor mounting
plate, the stability bracket must be positioned on the floor
between 100 - 200mm to the right of the left hand panel mark.
5. Mark and drill the fixing holes and insert suitable fixings to
hold the bracket firm.
6. Carefully re-position the fridge. Make sure that the compressor
mounting plate locates into the stability bracket.

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see Installation).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and
accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the
thermostat knob.
1 = warmest MAX = coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the back
wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space and
improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will be
covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the
compressor is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator
is functioning normally.
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high
values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient
temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting in
excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption:
compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values
(defrosting will occur automatically).
