liquids; 4 months for steak or chops (beef, lamb,
pork); 6 months for butter or margarine, poultry

citrus), roast meat (beef, pork, lamb), vegetables.
Expiration dates on the packaging of foods must
be respected. To avoid food contamination, please
observe the following:
– Opening the door for long periods can cause
a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
– Regularly clean surfaces that may come into
contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
– Clean water tanks if they have not been used for
48 h; flush the water system connected to a water
supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
– Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers
in the refrigerator, so that it does not come into
contact with or drip onto other food.

+10°C : store wine
+4°C: store vegetables and fruits (excluding
tropical fruits)

INSTALLATION
The appliance must be handled and installed by
two or more persons - risk of injury. Use protective
gloves to unpack and install - risk of cuts.
Installation, including water supply (if any)
and electrical connections, and repairs must
be carried out by a qualified technician. Do not
repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically stated in the user manual. Keep
children away from the installation site.
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.
WARNING: When positioning the appliance,
ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
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).
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.
If it is necessary to replace the doors, please
contact the Technical Assistance Center.

no less effective backflow prevention device
providing backflow prevention protection to at
least fluid category two shall be fitted at the point
