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).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety
measures not be observed.
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.
! 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. Insert the plug into the socket and switch on the product using the
appropriate button, ensure that yellow refrigerator and freezer
20
temperature lights illuminates
2. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator.
3. 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 near the refrigerating back panel.
! ! ! ! ! Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION button 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.
! To close the refrigerator door to pay attention to the vertical bracket
position (see figure)
SHELVES: Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and
the height is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large containers
and food.
