Safety - a good habit to get into.  
ATTENTION  
8. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal,  
remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent chil-  
dren who might play in or around the appliance from being locked  
inside.  
Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which  
will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your  
appliance.  
Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards  
(EN60) ans has been awarded the European approval mark  
(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.  
It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimina-  
tion of readio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).  
9. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of malfunc-  
tion, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem? to deter-  
mine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem. do not try  
to repair the problem by trying to access the internal compo-  
nents of the appliance.  
10. If the power supply cord must be replaced, please contact  
one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases, the con-  
nections are made using special terminals and in others a special  
tool must be used to access the connections.  
1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in an  
area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to leave it  
exposed to rain or storms.  
2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate  
and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use contained  
in this manual.  
11. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for  
food storage, if these are not those recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or  
with wet hands or feet.  
12. At the end of the functional life of your appliance – containing  
cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and perhaps gas R600a  
(isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit – the latter should made  
safe before being sent to the dump. For this operation, please  
contact your dealer or the Local Organisation in charge of waste  
disposal.  
4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension cords  
or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed be-  
tween cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or danger-  
ously pinched or compressed.  
5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the plug  
from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.  
6. Never touch the cooling components within the appliance,  
especially with wet hands because this could result in injury. Never  
put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your mouth  
because they could stick to your mouth and cause burns.  
7. Never clean or perform maintenance on the appliance with-  
out first removing the plug from the socket; in fact, turning the  
knob for adjusting the temperature to the · setting is not  
sufficient to eliminate all electrical contact with the mains.

Installation  
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to  
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the  
appliance is installed correctly.  
Electrical Connection and Earthing  
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure  
that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the  
bottom left near the vegetable crisper, corresponds to the  
mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted with  
a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety standards  
for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with an earthing  
wire, the manufacturer will not be held liability for any dam-  
ages and or injuries arising out of the use of the appliance.  
Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.  
Ventilation  
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore,  
need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than perfect  
ventilation are not very suited for installation of the appli-  
ance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with an open-  
ing (window or French window) that provide the appropriate  
amount of air re-circulation. It is also important that the room  
not be too humid.  
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access  
the socket where it is plugged in.  
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the  
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.  
For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave:  
- a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and any  
cabinets above it;  
Insufficient power?  
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum  
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating  
plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.  
- a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the appliance  
and any adjacent cabinets/walls.  
Before making the electrical connection ...  
After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical  
upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the  
plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions prop-  
erly.  
Away from Heat  
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly  
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.  
Levelling  
The appliance must be level. To level the appliance properly,  
first adjust the front plastic feet and then unscrew the foot  
situated beneath the lower door hinge until it adheres to  
the floor completely (Fig. 1).

- Do not store liquids in un-  
- Remember to cool hot food before storing, otherwise the  
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the  
compressor to work harder and use more energy.  
- Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that cold heavier  
air tends to fall towards the bottom. This is why meat and  
fish should be stored just above the crisper.  
- Remember to keep to our instructions on the storage life  
of foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will  
deteriorate quite quickly.  
sealed containers since this  
will increase the humidity and  
formation of ice in the refrig-  
erator.  
- The refrigerator is equipped  
with pratical slide-out shelves  
which can be adjusted for  
height using the appropriate  
guides (Fig, 2). This feature  
allows you to store large con-  
tainers and food products.  
- Please note: cooked foods do not keep longer than fresh  
food.

Energy Saving Tips  
- Install the Appliance Correctly  
- Keep the Door Closed  
This means that the appliance should be installed away from  
heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.  
Open the refrigerator only when necessary; remember that  
every time you open the door most of the cold air will be  
lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level, the  
motor must run for a considerable amount of time, con-  
suming a substantial amount of energy.  
- Correct Temperature Settings  
Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the middle  
settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only con-  
sume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor  
lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold tem-  
peratures may ruin vegetables, cold cuts and cheese.  
- Check the Seal on the Door  
Keep the seal clean and soft so that it fits tightly against the  
door to ensure that no cold air is lost.  
- Do Not Overfill Your Appliance  
- Never Put Food in the Refrigeror while Still  
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air  
circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air  
circulation and overwork the compressor.  
Hot  
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the  
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-  
perature before storing.  
Caring for Your appliance  
nate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do  
not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use a neutral  
soap.  
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance  
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning  
off the general switch in your home).  
- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach  
or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based  
products.  
- All removable parts can be cleaned by soaking them in hot  
soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry them thoroughly  
before replacing them.  
- What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the back  
panel and affect the proper running of the appliance. To  
remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully using the  
appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.  
- Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in  
use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior and  
dry thoroughly, leaving the door open to prevent the forma-  
tion of odours and mould.  
Defrosting  
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.  
Do not use mechanical devices or instruments other  
than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed  
up the defrosting process.  
The evaporator defrosts  
automatically  
operation; the defrost water  
is collected by the conveyor  
and is evaporated externally  
automatically.  
Clean the defrost water drain  
hole periodically (see fig. 3)  
to prevent the water from  
collecting on the bottom of  
the refrigerator instead of  
flowing out.  
during  
- Replacing the light bulb. The bulb for lighting the interior  
of the appliance is located at the back of the thermostat  
box. Unscrew the burned out bulb and replace it with an-  
other bulb with a wattage no higher than 15 Watt, follow  
the instructions illustrated in fig. 4.  
Fig. 3  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless  
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed  
containers to store foods in order to prevent spills, stains  
and the formation of difficult to remove odours.  
- Only use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the  
applianc. Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance  
with a sponge soaked in a warm water and sodium bicarbo-
