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 suffocation. 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 fire or electric shock. Only activate the appliance 

when the installation has been completed.

 Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g. parquet) 

when moving the appliance. Install the appliance 

on a floor 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 floor, 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 efficient. 

 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 fixing 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).

 If it is necessary to replace the doors, please 

contact the Technical Assistance Center.

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 qualified persons in 

order to avoid a hazard - risk of electric shock.

 WARNING: When positioning the appliance, 

ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

 WARNING: Do not locate multiple portable 

socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the 

rear of the appliance

.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

 WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is switched 

off 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, flammable 

fluids, 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.

DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING MATERIALS

T

he packaging material is 100% recyclable and is marked with the 

recycle symbol  .

responsibly and in full compliance with local authority regulations 
governing waste disposal.

For further information on the treatment, recovery and recycling of 
household electrical appliances, contact your local authority, the 
collection service for household waste or the store where you purchased 
the appliance. This appliance is marked in compliance with European 
Directive 2012/19/EU, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). 
By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent 
negative consequences for the environment and human health.
The symbol   on the product or on the accompanying documentation 
indicates that it should not be treated as domestic waste but must be

and electronic equipment.

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. 
Insufficient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy 
consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.
Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy Consumption. 
The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption 
may be affected 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 
efficient 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.
