damage the power cable – the risk of fire or electric shock. Only activate the
appliance when the installation has been completed.
Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g. parquet) when moving the appliance.
Install the appliance on a floor or support strong enough to take its weight
and in a place suitable for its size and use. Make sure the appliance is not
near a heat source and that the four feet are stable and resting on the floor,
adjusting them required, and check that the appliance is perfectly level using
a spirit level. Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance on, to

the refrigerator back wall (condenser coil).
All dimensions and spacing needed for the installation of the appliance are in
the Installation Instruction booklet.
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the power supply by
unplugging it if the plug is accessible, or by a multi-pole switch installed
upstream of the socket in accordance with the wiring rules and the appliance
must be earthed in conformity with national electrical safety standards.

Energy-saving tips
To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
Insufficient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy
consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.
Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy Consumption.
The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption may be
affected also by the ambient temperature, as well as location of the
appliance. Temperature settings should take into consideration these factors.
Reduce door opening to minimum. When thawing frozen food, place it in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the
refrigerator.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient
usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such a way to ensure
proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between
food and the rear wall should be kept).
You can increase the storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets and,
if present, Stop Frost shelf.
Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor which are normal
operation noises.
