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.Ensuretheapplianceisawayfromanysourcesofheat(direct
sunlight,electricstove,etc.).
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).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety
measures not be observed.
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.
Freezer Compartment
Whentheproductisswitchedonthefreezercompartmentisset
toits defaultvalue of-18°C. Werecommend thatthe SUPER
FREEZE * function is set (the freezer status bar continues to
