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).

Accessories
Refrigerator compartment
SHELVES:
with or without grill. Due to the special guides the
shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram),
allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be
adjusted without complete removal of the shelf.
FRESH BOX
*
:
for fresh meat and fish. Due to the compartment’s
low temperature (the coldest in the refrigerator) and to the clear
door that provides protection against oxidation and blackening,
food can be stored for even up to one week. It can also be used for
“cold meals.”
BREAKFAST BOX
*
:
This is the ideal container for the storage of
foods consumed at breakfast. It can be removed and used at the
breakfast table to serve the food that, thanks to the special design
of the container, will maintain the correct temperature for longer. The
lid can be used as a practical tray, simply by using the handles
provided. The Breakfast Box can also be used as a meat container,
for food products that must be well-protected in order to be stored
correctly.
TEMPERATURE
Indicator light
*
: to identify the coldest area in the
refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light ( see
diagram
).
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature
is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until
the temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or
if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal
for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before
adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher
setting.
Freezer compartment
*
Available only on certain models.
