Positioning

Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:

For refrigerating appliances with climate class:

• extended temperate: 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10^ to 32^ (SN);
• temperate: 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16^ C to 32^ C (N);
• subtropical: 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16^ to 38^ (ST);
• tropical: 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16^ to 43^ (T);

Location

The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet.

To ensure best performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 100mm . Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall units. Accurate leveling is ensured by one or more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.

WARNING

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supp- ly; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

Electronical connection

Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your domestic power supply. The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting 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.

  The temperature is automatically set in 5 seconds after the press.

TIP

Normally, it's recommended to set the temperature to «NORMAL» or colder for optimum food preservation. The longest storage time in this situation is no more than 1 month. Not set recommended setting may reduce the storage time.

Thermostat setting for ambient T°C: NORMAL ≈ +24°C (± 4°C)
Thermostat setting for ambient T°C: COLD ≈ +16°C (± 4°C)
Thermostat setting for ambient T°C: HOT ≈ +32°C (± 4°C)

Super Freezing

• Press «SET button consecutively to enter «SUPER» freezing mode from Scale MAX, the indicator bar on the left hereby will turn dark whereas the indicator light of «SUPER» turns on. This mode is automatically set in 5 seconds after last press.

• If the «SUPER» mode keeps running for 52 hours and not stopped manually, the system will automatically cut out this mode, with the temperature back on Scale 5.

Power ON and Power OFF

If the appliance is working, press 0N / 0FF for 3 seconds to turn off. If the appliance is off, press 0N / 0FF for 3 seconds to turn on.

Indicator lights

Temperature Indicator Light (Bright blue)

Temperature sensor fault alarm

When there is a disconnection or short out of the temperature sensor, as a fault alarm, the temperature indicator bar will flash from left to right every 0,5 second.

Freezing fresh food

• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom compartment.
  The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 12 hours is specified on the rating plate.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer. In this case, cooking will take longer.
