GB Installation
!Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operatinginstructionscarefully.Theycontainimportantinformationforsafe 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).
!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.
!The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which makesthecompressorstartapproximately8minutesafterbeingswitched on. The compressor also starts each time the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
1.Insert the plug into the socket and switch on the product using the appropriate button, ensure that yellow refrigerator and freezer temperature lights illuminates
2.After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator.
3.Press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the SUPER FREEZE indicator light will illuminate. Once the refrigerator has reached the optimal temperature, the indicator light goes out and you can begin food storage.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
•Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION button to adjust the temperature (see Description).
•Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge the internal temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
•Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
•Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
•Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
SHELVES: Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large containers and food.
FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin*
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh and crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to store food in a less humid environment like fruit, or close it (position A) to store food in a more humid environment like vegetable
Using the freezer to its full potential
•Use the FREEZER OPERATION button to adjust the temperature (see Description).
•Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).
•Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted.
•Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.
•The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).
•To freeze (if the freezer is already operating): press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button (corresponding blue indicator light illuminates), insert the food and close the door. The function is disabled automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures have been reached (indicator light goes out)
!Do not store food too large in the upper freezer drawer if is present the ‘Ice Device”.
!Do not open the door during freezing.
!If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
