First use and installation
Starting up and temperature regulation
The temperature selector knob is located on the top of the
refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0” means:
Off.
Turn the knob clockwise to turn on the appliance.
Setting “1” means:
Highest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting “7” (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
Cleaning before use
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the
interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and
some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important!
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as
these will damage the finish.
Installation position
Warning!
Before installing, read the instructions carefully for your
safety and the correct operation of the appliance.
Position the appliance away from sources of heat such as
stoves, radiators, direct sunlight, etc.
Maximum performance and safety are guaranteed by
maintaining the correct indoor temperature for the class of
unit concerned, as specified on the rating plate.
This appliance performs well in climate class ST. The
appliance may not work properly if it is left for a longer
period at a temperature above or below the indicated range.
Important!
Good ventilation is essential around the
appliance to effectively dissipate heat and ensure efficient
operation and low power consumption. So make sure
there is adequate free space around the appliance. We
recommend there is at least 75 mm clearance at the rear,
at least 100 mm above the appliance and at the sides, and
enough free space in front to allow the door to be opened
through 160°.
Important!
Normally, we advise that you select a setting
of 2, or 3 or 4. If you want the temperature to be higher or
lower, please turn the knob to a warmer or colder setting
accordingly. When you turn the knob to a lower setting,
this can improve the energy efficiency. Otherwise, a higher
setting will lead to more energy consumption.
lmportant!
High ambient temperatures (e.g on hot summer
days) and a cold setting (position 6 or 7) may cause the
compressor to run continuously!
Reason:
when the ambient temperature is high, the
compressor has to run continuously to maintain a low
temperature in the appliance.
Climate class

Appliances must not be exposed to rain. Sufficient air must
be allowed to circulate around the lower rear area of the
appliance, as poor air circulation can affect performance.
Built-in appliances should be positioned away from heat
sources such as heaters and direct sunlight.
Levelling
The appliance should be level in order to eliminate vibration.
To make sure the appliance is level, it should be upright with
both adjusters firmly in contact with the floor. You can also
adjust the level by unscrewing the appropriate level adjuster
at the front (use your fingers or a suitable spanner).
