• Install the appliance in a location with an ambient temperature corresponding to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:

• This refrigerator is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.
• The appliance should be installed far away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, and direct sunlight. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the appliance. Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall units. However, if it is placed under an overhanging wall unit, make sure there is a clearance distance of at least 50 mm. Do not stack the appliance with other household appliances.
• Accurate leveling is ensured by one or more of the adjustable feet at the base of the appliance.
• This appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.

Electrical Connection

• Before plugging the appliance in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate corresponds with your domestic power supply. The appliance must be grounded/earthed. The power supply cord plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not grounded, connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations. Consult a qualified electrician.
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed.
• This appliance complies with the E.E.C. Directives.

Leveling the Appliance

USE

FIRST USE

Cleaning the Interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and mild soap. Dry thoroughly. This will clear the typical smell of a brand-new product.

IMPORTANT  Do not use detergents or abrasive cleaning materials as these will damage the finish.

Temperature Setting
IMPORTANT:  If the appliance has been moved, wait at least four hours for fluids inside to balance before plugging it in and turning it on.

• Plugin your appliance.
• The internal temperature is controlled by a thermostat. There are eight settings. Setting 1 is the warmest temperature and 7 is the coldest temperature setting. When set at 0, the appliance is turned off. When set at 7, the compressor does not stop.
• The appliance may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot location or if you open the door frequently.
• The appliance is not suitable for freezing foods. When starting up your appliance after a period of time when it has not been used, turn the settings up to MAX and wait approximately two hours before filling the refrigerator with food. Then set the thermostat to the setting that suits your current climate.

IMPORTANT

In the event of an accidental warming of the fridge temperature, for example, due to a power failure, and the power has been off for longer than 7.5 hours (without the door being opened), the food must be eaten quickly, or if raw, cooked.
