INSTALLATION
The appliance must be handled and installed
by two or more persons - risk of injury. Use
protective gloves to unpack and install - risk of
cuts.
Installation, including water supply (if any) and
electrical connections, and repairs must be carried
out by a qualied technician. Do not repair or
replace any part of the appliance unless specically
stated in the user manual. Keep children away
from the installation site. After unpacking the
appliance, make sure that it has not been damaged
during transport. In the event of problems, contact
the dealer or your nearest After-sales Service. Once
installed, packaging waste (plastic, styrofoam
parts etc.) must be stored out of reach of children-
risk of suocation. The appliance must be
disconnected from the power supply before any
installation operation - risk of electric shock.
During installation, make sure the appliance does
not damage the power cable- risk of re or electric
shock. Only activate the appliance when the
installation has been completed.
Be careful not to damage the oors (e.g.
parquet) when moving the appliance. Install the
appliance on a oor or support strong enough to
take its weight and in a place suitable for its size
and use. Make sure the appliance is not near a heat
source and that the four feet are stable and resting
on the oor, adjusting them as required, and check
that the appliance is perfectly level using a spirit
level. Wait at least two hours before switching the
appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit
is fully ecient.
To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a
space on both sides and above the appliance. The
distance between the rear of the appliance and
the wall behind the appliance should be 50mm,
to avoid access to hot surfaces. A reduction of this
space will increase the Energy consumption of
product.
WARNING: To avoid a hazard due to instability,
positioning or xing of the appliance must be
done in accordance with the manufacturer
instructions. It is forbidden to place the refrigerator
in such way that the metal hose of gas stove, metal
gas or water pipes, or electrical wires are in contact
with the refrigerator back wall (condenser coil).
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance
from the power supply by unplugging it if plug is
accessible, or by a multi-pole switch installed
upstream of the socket in accordance with the
wiring rules and the appliance must be earthed in
conformity with national electrical safety
standards.
Do not use extension leads, multiple sockets or
adapters. The electrical components must not be
accessible to the user after installation. Do not
use the appliance when you are wet or barefoot.
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged
power cable or plug, if it is not working properly,
or if it has been damaged or dropped.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced with an identical one by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualied persons in
order to avoid a hazard- risk of electric shock.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is
switched o and disconnected from the power
supply before performing any maintenance
operation; never use steam cleaning equipment-
risk of electric shock.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as
window sprays, scouring cleansers, ammable
uids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents,
bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum
products on plastic parts, interior and door liners
or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring
pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any
heat source (eg. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed
directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.
To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
Insucient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy
consumption and decreases cooling eciency.
Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy
Consumption.
The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption
may be aected also by the ambient temperature, as well as location
of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration
these factors.
Reduce door opening to a minimum.
When thawing frozen food, place in the refrigerator. The low
temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the
appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the
ecient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in
such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each
other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).
You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets
and, if present, Stop Frost shelf.
Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor which are
described as normal noises in this product's Quick Guide.
