Installation
! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read
these operating instructions carefully. They contain important
information for safe use, for installation and for care of the
appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference.
Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate
correctly and save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the
appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm between
the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct
sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the appliance
and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in the installation
kit, following the instructions provided.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by
tightening or loosening the front feet.
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the
electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket
ensure the following:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance,
which is indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left
side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
• The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated
on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the
socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised
technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use extension
cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable
and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised
technicians only (see Assistance).

Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
! After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it in an upright
position and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the
electricity mains, to make sure it operates as it should.
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator well using warm water and
bicarbonate of soda before placing food inside it.
• The appliance comes with a motor protection control system
which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes
after being switched on. The compressor also starts each time
the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily
(blackout).
Freezer Compartment
When the product is switched on the freezer compartment is set to
its default value of -18°C. We recommend that the SUPER FREEZE
function is set in order to accelerate the cooling process of the
compartment; when the inside of the compartment has reached its
optimal temperature the function will be deactivated and the food
may be placed inside.
Refrigerator Compartment
When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator compartment is
set to its default value of +5°C. We recommend that the SUPER
COOL function is set in order to accelerate the cooling process of
the compartment. After a few hours it will be cool enough for food to
be placed inside.
Navigating the display
Setting the temperatures:
If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer
compartment displays will indicate the temperature values set at
that moment. To change them, simply press the - and + buttons
corresponding to the compartment for which you wish to change
the set temperature. More specifically, each time the buttons are
pressed, the temperature increases or decreases and the level of
cold generated inside the compartment is adjusted accordingly.
The temperature values that may be selected for the refrigerator
compartment are +8°C, +7°C, +6°C, +5°C, +4°C, +3°C and +2°C,
while the values that may be set for the freezer are -18°C, -19°C, -
20°C, -21°C, -22°C, -24°C and -26°C. If SUPER COOL function is
activated, Fridge temperature cannot be modified. If SUPER
FREEZE functions is activated, Freezer temperature cannot be
modified.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the temperature
quickly, for example, when you place a large number of new
food items inside a fridge and the internal temperature rises
slightly. This function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily
reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never
hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw
foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the
level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to
form.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height
is adjustable , allowing easy storage of large containers and food.
Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the
refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see
diagram).
2. If the word "OK" does not appear it means that the temperature is
too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the
temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or
