Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance. See defrost instructions. Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer as it creates pressure on the container, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance. Installation There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. See installation instructions. Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall. If the appliance has been transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

For this purpose the supply cable plug incorporates a special earth contact. If the sockets of your domestic wiring system are not earthed, have the appliance connected to a separate earth wire by a qualified electrician in accordance with existing safety regulations. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed. This appliance complies with EEC directive number 87/308 of 2/6/87 relative to radio interference suppression. This appliance complies with the following E.E.C. Directives: - 73/23 EEC of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and subsequent modifications; - 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications. Location Place the appliance as far away as possible from sources of heat, e.g. radiators, heaters, direct sunlight, etc. Best performance is obtained with ambient temperature between +18°C and +43°C (class T); +18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C (class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN). The class of your appliance is shown on its rating plate. Cleaning the interior Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish. 17 Door reversibility (Fig. 1) P P A D B C D C P1 D337 P1 Fig. 1 Right opening Remove the pins (P) and (P1).

Fig. 7 B D096 Position the runners (H) at the top and bottom of the inside of the kitchen unit as shown in Fig. 8 and mark the position of the external holes. After preparing the holes, screw the runners to the kitchen unit door using 3.5x16 mm screws. Fig. 8 H 20m m D094 Open both the appliance door and that of the kitchen unit to approx. 90°. Place the little plates over the runners. Hold the doors of the appliance and the unit together and mark the holes. Fig. 9 8mm PR34 20 Remove the little plates and make the holes with a diam. of 2 mm. Replace the little plates over the runners and screw in the screws provided (3.5x16 mm). For the alignment of the kitchen unit door, if necessary, use the clearance size of the slotted holes. At the end of the procedure, check that the doors of the appliance and the kitchen unit open properly. Fig. 10 PR35 In case of side fixing of the appliance, it will be sufficient to loose the screws fixing the bracket (G) and to position it as shown in Fig. 11. G Fig. 11 Electrical connection Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the serial number plate correspond to your domestic power supply. Voltage can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage. For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized auto-transformer must be used.

Pilot light B. SUPER operating control light C. Warning light D. NORMAL/SUPER Switch E. Thermostat knob (freezer compartment) D E Use of the freezer The freezer is marked with the symbol, which means that the compartment is suitable for freezing foods and for long-term storage of frozen foods. Warning light (C) This light warns when the temperature inside the freezer compartment has increased so much as to jeopardize the preservation of food in the compartment. When the appliance is switched on for the first time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, this light remains on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage. Frozen food storage Insert the plug into the wall socket, pilot light (A) will come on; this indicates that the appliance is switched on. For correct storage of frozen and deep-frozen foods, freezer temperature should be at least ­18°C or colder. To do this, we recommend that you turn knob (E) to an intermediate position. The freezer's temperature is thus automatically set for good food storage. If the appliance is being used in abnormal conditions ­ e.g. poor ventilation, high or low room temperature and/or frequent opening of appliance's door ­ the setting must be adjusted accordingly. In these cases knob (E) must be turned to the higher settings to obtain a lower temperature, or to the lower settings to obtain a higher temperature. Freezer operation can be halted by turning knob (E) to position «O». The refrigerator will continue to work. Air circulation Your appliance is fitted with a fan inside the refrigerator compartment. To tun it on, press the switch (A-Fig. 13) located on the fan housing; the switch will illuminate. To turn the fan off, press this switch again; the switch light will go out. The appliance can be operated with the fan turned off (switch off/light out); in this case, remember to set the thermostat knob between 4 and 6. It is recommended that the fan be turned on (switch on/illuminated) in the following circumstances: high ambient temperature (above 25°C); to obtain faster cooling (for example after having placed a large quantity of food in the refrigerator; to achieve a uniform temperature throughout the refrigerator compartment. Bear in mind that when the fan is operating, the recommended position for the thermostat knob is Quick freezing Turn knob (D) to position «S» (SUPER). The pilot light (B) will then light up. 22 4 S 3 between 2 and 4. It is also advisable not to turn the fan on if the temperature inside the compartment is cool enough: this will reduce energy consumption. Fig. 13 A D671 Freezing of fresh foods To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before putting the food to be frozen in the compartment. If instead the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the foods are put in the freezer compartment. Once the foods have been placed in the freezer, the freezing operation can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be reset for «normal» storage use. Food to be frozen has to be placed in the top basket. The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity of fresh foods than the maximum indicated on the appliance's rating plate. To help you get the best out of the freezing process, here are a few hints: Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned foods. Split them into small portions to speed up freezing and avoid having to thaw more food than you require. It is in fact important to remember that once the foods have thawed out, they deteriorate fast. Another point to remember is that lean foods keep better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces storages time. Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and ...
