Starting up and temperature regulation

Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket 

with protective earth contact .

Setting Less Cold means:

Highest temperature, warmest setting .

Setting Colder means:

Lowest temperature, coldest setting .

Important! 

– Normally we advise you to select the setting 

of Mid . If you want the temperature Less Cold or colder 

please turn the knob to lower or higher setting accordingly .

Less cold temperature settings are more energy efficient .

Important! 

– High ambient temperatures (e .g . on hot days) 

and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position 

Max) can cause the compressor to run continuously or 

even non-stop .

Reason:

 when the ambient temperature is high, the 

compressor must run continuously to maintain the low 

temperature in the freeze .

Cleaning before use

•   Before using the appliance for the first time, wash 

the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm 

water and some neutral soap, then dry thoroughly .

Important!

 Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, 

as these will damage the finish .

Installation Positioning

WARNING

Before installing, read the instruction carefully for your safety

and correct operation of the appliance .

•   Position the appliance away from sources of heat such 

as stoves, radiators, direct sunlight etc .

•   Maximum performance and safety are guaranteed by 

maintaining the correct indoor temperature for the class 

of unit concerned, as specified on the rating plate .

 •   This application performs well from N to ST (see table 

below) . The Appliance may not work properly if it is left 

for a longer period at a temperature above or below 

the indicated range .

Important!

 Adequate ventilation around the freezer is 

needed for easy dissipation of heat, high efficiency of 

refrigeration and low power consumption . For this purpose, 

sufficient clear space should be available around the 

fridge . It is advisable for there to be 75mm separating the 

back of the fridge to the wall, at least 100mm of space 

at its two sides, height of over 100mm from its top and a 

clear space upfront to allow the doors to open 160° .

 •   Appliances must not be exposed to rain. Sufficient air 

must be allowed to circulate in the lower rear section 

of appliances, as poor air circulation can affect 

performance . Built-in appliances should be positioned 

away from heat sources such as heaters and 

direct sunlight .

Levelling

 •    The appliance should be level in order to eliminate 

vibration . To make the appliance level, it should be 

upright and both adjusters should be in firm contact 

with the floor . You can also adjust the level by screwing 

up or down the appropriate level adjuster at the front of 

the appliance (use your fingers or a suitable spanner) .
