adjusting them as required, and check that the appliance is perfectly level
using a spirit level. Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance
on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.

The packaging material is 100% recyclable and is marked with the recycle
symbol .
The various parts of the packaging must therefore be disposed of
responsibility and in full compliance with local authority regulations
governing waste disposal.
Disposal of household appliances
This appliance is manufactured with recyclable or reusable materials. Dispose
of it in accordance with local waste disposal regulations. For further
information on the treatment, recovery and recycling of household electrical
appliances, contact your local authority, the collection service for household
waste or the store where you purchased the appliance. This appliance is marked
in compliance with European Directive 2012/19/EU, Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent
negative consequences for the environment and human health. The symbol on the

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 setting 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 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 way to ensure
proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between
food and rear wall should be kept).
You can increase 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.
