For further information on the treatment, recovery and recycling ofEN - 30 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 product or on the accompanying documentation indicates that it should not be treated as domestic waste but must be taken to an appropriate collection centre for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any heat source (eg. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate. To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions. Insufcient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling efciency. 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 efcient 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.EN - 31

• Wait at least two hours, after the installation, before connecting the appliance to the power supply. Connect the appliance to the power supply and turn the thermostat knob to switch on the appliance. After turning the appliance on, you must wait for 4-6 hours for the correct storage temperature to be reached for a normally lled appliance.

• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the rst time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

• Larders (coolers) have not any freezer compartment but can cool below 5°C.

• Thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator compartment. By rotating the knob from position 1. to 5., colder temperatures can be obtained.

• « • » position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling is available.

• For short-term storage of food in the freezer/refrigerator compartment, you can set the knob between minimum and medium position.(1-3)

• For long-term storage of food, you can set knob to medium position.(3-4) Temperature Settings Warnings

• Larders (coolers) have not any freezer compartment but can cool up to 4 - 6 °C.

• The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened affects the temperature in the fridge. If required, change the temperature setting

• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efciency.

• When setting the thermostat, take into consideration how often the appliance door is opened and closed, how much food is stored in the refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located.

• When the appliance is rst switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to reach large quantity of food inside. operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large quantity of food inside.

• Unplug your appliance during a power cut to prevent damage to the compressor. Once power is restored, delay plugging in your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes. This will help prevent damage to the appliance’s components.

• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling efciency of the appliance.

• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 10°C - 43°C range. USAGE INFORMATION Climatic Class Amb. T. (°C) SN: From 10 to 32 °C ST: From 16 to 38 °C; N: From 16 to 32 °C T: From 16 to 43 °CEN - 32 Putting food in the coldest area of the refrigerator Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most appropriate cooling area. The coldest area is just above the crisper. To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is located at the level of this symbol, as shown in the illustration. Temperature indicator (In some models) In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in the coldest area. You can easily check that the temperature of the coldest area is appropriate: when the indicator shows “OK”, it means the thermostat is set properly and the inside temperature is correct. Since “OK” appears in black, it will be difcult to see this indication if the temperature indicator is badly lit. To be able to see this indication properly, there should be enough light. If the “OK” symbol does not appear, it means that the temperature is too high: you will then have to modify the thermostat setting, and wait 12 hours before visually checking the temperature again. NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal ice crystals build up (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until compressor off periods are obtained again. The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by the lower side of the sticker (head of the arrow). The coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level with the arrow head. The coldest area is below this level. As these shelves are removable, make sure they are always at the same level with these zone limits described on the stickers, in order to guarantee temperatures in this area. Each type of food has an ideal conservation temperature and consequently a particular location to follow. Locations Products Upper shelves Cooked foods, desserts and all foods to be eaten fast enough Coldest area Meat, poultry, game and raw sh Maximum conservation tim e : 1 to 2 days. Fresh fruits, cooked pork meat. Crisper Fresh vegetables and fruits. Door-liner Door trays shall contain bottles at the bottom side and, in their upper parts, low volume and currently used products like yoghurt, fresh cream, etc. Butter, cooked cheese and eggs shall be introduced in appropriate holders.

• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.

• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperatu- re and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.

• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.

• We recommend that meat and clean sh are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.

• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.

• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.

• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.

• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.

• Do not put food in front of the air ow passage.

• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date. FOOD STORAGE
