Installation

GB
! 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).

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.
*
Available only on certain models.
24
! The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which
makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after being
switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power
supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the green
POWER indicator light illuminates.
3. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average
value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the
refrigerator.
4. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average value and
press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the SUPER
FREEZE indicator light will illuminate. Once the refrigerator
has reached the optimal temperature, the indicator light goes
out and you can begin food storage.

Chiller system

NO FROST
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system
maintains an optimal humidity level in the compartment,
preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the food
from sticking together and making defrosting a thing of the past.
! ! ! ! ! Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or containers in
direct contact with the refrigerating back panel.
! ! ! ! ! Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature ( see Description ).
• Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower the
temperature quickly. For example, when you place a large
number of new food items inside a fridge the internal
temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly cools the
groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it
reaches the ideal level.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not
hot foods ( see Precautions and tips ).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase
humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
• SHELVES: with or without grill. Due to the special guides the
shelves are removable and the height is adjustable, allowing
easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be
adjusted without complete removal of the shelf.
FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially
designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh
and crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to
store food in a less humid environment, or close it (position A) to
store food in a more humid environment.
