Layout and presentation of your appliance

• Your appliance was designed and tested to optimise its energy use.
• The proposed layout represents the ideal solution for achieving ideal energy consumption and optimum food storage.

This illustration is only for hinting, the detail please check your appliance.
You can only keep your food in good condition and optimise your energy consumption by following the instructions in this installation and user guide.

Energy-saving measures
In order to reduce the power consumption of your appliance:

• Install it in a suitable location (see “Installing your appliance”).
• Leave the doors open for the shortest time possible.
• Never put hot food in the fridge or the freezer, and in particular soups and other preparations that release a lot of steam.
• Check that your appliance is working correctly and do not allow too much ice to accumulate (defrost when the ice is more than 5-6 mm thick). Clean the condenser on a regular basis.
• Regularly check the door seals and make sure that the doors can be closed properly. If this is not the case, contact after-sales service.
• Do not adjust the temperature too low.

Storing food
Here are some rules you should follow:

• Maintain the cold chain and select “Booster” mode at least 6 hours before coming home with groceries (if your model has it).
• Clean the refrigerator part at least once a month (see Care and cleaning)
• Keep home-made food in the refrigerator after first taking care to leave it to cool.
• Make sure that your appliance is set to the recommended temperatures shown below. The temperatures for every compartment are recommended to optimise storing food and avoid any waste.
  Area| Type of compartment| Recommended temperature
  ---|---|---
  Fresh food compartments| Fresh food compartment (refrigerator)| +4°C
• Place the food in the locations recommended in the tables below.

Fresh food compartments

Do not place perishable fresh food in these areas
Crisper| Lettuce, fruit, vegetables, herbs
Do not put bananas, onions, potatoes or garlic in the refrigerator.
Lower shelf| Raw meat, fish, highly perishable food.
Intermediate shelf| Milk products
Top shelf| Cold cuts, prepared meals, meals to reheat

INSTALLATION

Care before installation
Before installing the appliance and connecting it to the power, 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.
Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners, they will damage the inside coating.
When using the appliance for the first time or after a period of non-use, before putting the food in the compartment let the appliance run at least two hours on the higher settings.

Location
Warning! Never expose the appliance to a naked flame.

• Install the appliance in a dry and well ventilated place.
• The appliance should be located far from heat sources like radiators, boilers, sunlight, etc.
• Your appliance is designed to function optimally at a given ambient temperature. In this case, it is said to be designed for a particular “climate class”. The climate class is clearly shown on the ID plate (see the “Contact” chapter). The refrigerator may not maintain satisfactory inside temperatures if it operates outside of the temperature limits set for the “climate class” it is designed for. Ensure that the chosen location is compliant with these temperature limits:
  Class| Ambient temperature
  ---|---
  SN| This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 10°C and 32°C
  SN-ST| This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 10°C and 38°C
  SN-T| This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 10°C and 43°C
  N| This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 16°C and 32°C
  ST| This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 16°C and 38°C
  T| This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 16°C and 43°C
• Based on the above, avoid locating your appliance on balconies, verandas, terraces, in garages, etc. Excessively high temperature in summer and excessively low temperatures in winter can prevent it from functioning properly and therefore properly conserving food.
• Appliance levelling is achieved by adjusting one or more adjustable feet located under the unit (refer to the “Levelling the appliance” section).
  If your appliance is fitted with casters, then remember that they should only be used for short movements. Do not move the appliance over long distances on its casters.

How to reverse the door

• Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.
• To take the door off, it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the unit on something solid so that it will not slip during the door reversing process.
• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.
• Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.
• It’s better that 2 people handle the unit during assembly.

Daily use
Your refrigerator compartment is equipped with shelves, door racks and drawers with various logos to help you store your food in the right place.
Using the shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired. Positioning the small door trays
The small door trays can be removed to assist cleaning. To do this, progressively pull the door rack in the direction indicated by the arrows until you can remove it completely. After cleaning it, replace it in the desired location. Bottle shelf
This equipment is dedicated to bottles storage. It allows to optimize space and to save space when the bottle rack is full. For optimum use, recommended position of the bottle shelf is the second one starting from the top of the fridge.
Turbo Fan
Do not block the air inlet and outlet openings when storing food, otherwise air circulation provided by the turbo fan will be impaired. Fresh Dial
If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located in front of the crisper should be opened. This allows the air to go into the crisper and the humidity rate to be controlled, in order to increase the life of food within.
The dial, located behind the shelf, must be opened if any condensation is seen on the glass shelf. Ultrafresh
Ultrafresh technology helps to remove ethylene gas (a bioproduct released naturally from fresh foods) and unpleasant odors from the crisper. In this way, food stays fresh for a longer time.

• Ultrafresh must be cleaned once a year. The filter should be cleaned during 2 hours at 65°C in a oven.
• To clean the filter, remove the back cover of the filter box by pulling it in the direction of the arrow.
• The filter should not be washed with water or any detergent.

Hints and Tips

• The refrigerator is a domestic appliance suited to short-term conservation of food products like fruit, vegetables, drinks, etc.
• Do not use it as a specialised appliance for storing products that require storage in line with strict temperature rules, like medicines, etc.
• Cooked foods must be cooled to ambient temperature before they are placed in the refrigerator.
• We recommend placing food in sealed containers before storing them in the fridge.
• Never place food right next to the air outlet as this could impede the airflow and freeze the food.
• Never place volatile, inflammable or explosive liquids like solvents, alcohol, acetone or petrol in the fridge. There is an explosion hazard.
• Never leave the door open longer than necessary.

Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (all types) must be wrapped in sealed polyethylene bags and placed on the glass shelf above the crisper.
• For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer provided.
• Butter and cheese should be placed in special sealed containers, wrapped in aluminium foil or placed in a sealed bag.
• Milk bottles should be capped and stored in the bottle rack in the door.
• To save energy, all of the door shelves and glass shelves should be fitted in their designed location.
