the refrigerator compartment.
Temperature inside freezer compartment not
low enough to freeze foods properly:
• The thermostat is set at too high a
temperature.
• The door is being opened too often or for
too long.
• The door is not closing/sealing properly.
• The door seal is damaged or dirty. Clean or
replace it.
• The food to be frozen contains large
quantities of sugar.
Excessive ice has built up inside the freezer
compartment:
• The thermostat is set at too low a
temperature.
• The room temperature is too high.
• The door is being opened too often or for
too long.
• The door is not closing/sealing properly.
• The door seal is damaged or dirty. Clean or
replace it.
• Hot foods have been placed inside the
freezer compartment.
Doors are hard to open just after closing:
• If you attempt to open the door again just
after closing it (especially the freezer door),
considerable strength is required. This is due
to the vacuum created by the cooling of the
warm air which has entered the freezer.
The doors are misaligned:
• Check that the appliance is level.
• Level the appliance using its feet.
INSTALLATION
Electrical connection
General information
• Check the mains characteristics against the
data indicated on the plate. The
identification plate bearing the technical
data, serial number and brand name is
visibly positioned inside the appliance. Do
not remove this plate for any reason.
• Make sure that the plug and socket are of
the same type.
• Avoid using adapters, gang sockets or
shunts as these could cause overheating
and a risk of burns.
• The plug must always be accessible when
the appliance is installed.
• Leave the appliance standing vertically for
at least two hours before turning it on for the
first time.
• If it is necessary to replace the power cable,
this must be performed by an authorised
technician from Technical Support Service.
Positioning
Choice of location
Always install the appliance in a dry place with
satisfactory ventilation. Depending on its climate
class (stated on the nameplate inside the
refrigerator compartment), the appliance can
be used in different temperature conditions.
• Install the appliance at least 3 cm away
from electrical or gas cookers and at least
30 cm away from combustion heaters or
radiators.
• The appliance must not be installed near
heat sources. If this is not possible, suitable
insulation must be used.
• If installed underneath wall units, at least 5
cm clearance must be left.
• Ensure that the appliance is located with
sufficient space for the door to open and for
the internal drawers and shelves to be
removed, if necessary.
Spacers
To ensure proper cooling of the condenser, the
appliance must not be placed too close to the
wall. To prevent this, the appliance comes
complete with two plastic spacers, which must
be fitted in the rear part of the appliance.
