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

•
: with or without grill.
SHELVES
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.
• Varies by number and/or position.
*
Available only on certain models.
*
bin: to store food (such as cold meats) for a long
MULTI-USE
time and also prevent odours from lingering in the refrigerator.
*
FLEX COOL BOX
This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese fresh. When
positioned in the "lower" part of the fridge compartment, it is ideal
for meat and fish; when moved to the "top" part of the fridge, it is
perfect for cheese. It can be taken out of the fridge when it is not
needed.
*
Indicator light: to identify the coldest area in the
TEMPERATURE
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 (colder) position and wait approximately 10 hours until
the temperature has 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.

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions ( see Installation ).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and
accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal light
illuminates.
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average
value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the
refrigerator.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically
adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob.
= warmest
= coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the back wall
of the refrigerator compartment for increased space and improved
aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will be covered in frost
or water droplets depending on whether the compressor is
operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is functioning
normally.
Chiller system
The appliance comes with one of the chiller systems described
below: take note of your system in order to determine the most
efficient food storage method.
