Some functional problems might occur
for some types of models when
operating outside of that range. The
correct operation can only be
guaranteed within the specified
temperature range. If you have any
doubts regarding where to install the
appliance, please turn to the vendor,
to our customer service or to the
nearest Authorised Service Centre.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and
frequency shown on the rating plate correspond
to your domestic power supply.
• The appliance must be earthed. The power
supply cable plug is provided with a contact for
this purpose. If the domestic power supply
socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to
a separate earth in compliance with current
regulations, consulting a qualified electrician.
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility if
the above safety precautions are not observed.
• This appliance complies with the E.E.C.
Directives.

OPERATION
SWITCHING ON
1. Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a
medium setting.
SWITCHING OFF
To turn off the appliance, turn the temperature
regulator to the "O" position.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The temperature is regulated automatically.
1. Turn the Temperature regulator toward lower
settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator toward higher
settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
However, the exact setting should be
chosen keeping in mind that the
temperature inside the appliance
depends on:
• room temperature,
• how often the door is opened,
• the quantity of food stored,
• the location of the appliance.
CAUTION! If the ambient temperature
is high or the appliance is fully loaded,
and the appliance is set to the lowest
temperatures, it may run continuously
causing frost to form on the rear wall.
In this case the dial must be set to a
higher temperature to allow automatic
defrosting and therefore reduced
energy consumption.
