INSTALLATION

Care before installation

Before installing the appliance and connecting it to the power, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand new product, then dry thoroughly.

Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners, they will damage the inside coating.

When using the appliance for the first time or after a period of non-use, before putting the food in the compartment let the appliance run at least two hours on the higher settings.

Location

Warning! Never expose the appliance to a naked flame.

● Install the appliance in a dry and well ventilated place.
● The appliance should be located far from heat sources like radiators, boilers, sunlight, etc.
- Your appliance is designed to function optimally at a given ambient temperature. In this case, it is said to be designed for a particular "climate class". The climate class is clearly shown on the ID plate (see the "Contact" chapter). The refrigerator may not maintain satisfactory inside temperatures if it operates outside of the temperature limits set for the "climate class" it is designed for. Ensure that the chosen location is compliant with these temperature limits:

Class	Ambient temperature
SN	This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 10°C and 32°C
SN-ST	This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 10°C and 38°C
SN-T	This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 10°C and 43°C
N	This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 16°C and 32°C
ST	This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 16°C and 38°C
T	This refrigeration appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 16°C and 43°C

- Based on the above, avoid locating your appliance on balconies, verandas, terraces, in garages, etc. Excessively high temperature in summer and excessively low temperatures in winter can prevent it from functioning properly and therefore properly conserving food.

● The appliance must be made suitably level by adjusting one or more of the adjustable feed under the cabinet (see the "Levelling the appliance" section).

If your appliance is fitted with casters, then remember that they should only be used for short movements. Do not move the appliance over long distances on its casters.

How to reverse the door

• Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.
• To take the door off, it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the unit on something solid so that it will not slip during the door reversing process.
• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.
• Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.
• It's better that 2 people handle the unit during assembly.

Hints and Tips

• The refrigerator is a domestic appliance suited to short term conservation of food products like fruit, vegetables, drinks, etc.
• Do not use it as a specialised appliance for storing products that require storage in line with strict temperature rules, like medicines, etc.
• Cooked foods must be cooled to ambient temperature before they are placed in the refrigerator.
  • We recommend placing food in sealed containers before storing them in the fridge.
• Never place food right next to the air outlet as this could impede the air flow and freeze the food.
• Never place volatile, inflammable or explosive liquids like solvents, alcohol, acetone or petrol in the fridge. There is an explosion hazard.
• Never leave the door open longer than necessary.

Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (all types) must be wrapped in sealed polyethylene bags and placed on the glass shelf above the crisper.
• For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer provided.
• Butter and cheese should be placed in special sealed containers, wrapped in aluminium foil or placed in a sealed bag.

- Milk bottles should be capped and stored in the bottle rack in the door.

- To save energy, all of the door shelves and glass shelves should be fitted in their designed location.

Hints for freezing

To help you optimise the freezing process, here are some important tips:

• The maximum amount of food that you can freeze every 24 hours can be found on the ID plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any more food to freeze during this time.
• Only freeze good quality, fresh and properly washed food.

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.

• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid raising their temperature.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, may cause frost burns to the skin.
  • We recommend labelling and dating each frozen package.
• To obtain ice cubes faster, we recommend placing the ice cube trays in the top drawer.

Defrost

Before eating, frozen or deep frozen food may be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at ambient temperature, depending on the time available.

Some food may also be cooked directly when taken out of the freezer, while it is still frozen. In this case, cooking will take longer.

Important In the event of accidental thawing, caused for example by a power break, quickly eat the thawed food. Never refreeze thawed food.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

To guarantee optimum performance, comply with the following instructions:

Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.

Ensure that frozen food is quickly carried from the retailer to your freezer.

Do not open the door too often or avoid leaving the door open longer than necessary.

Once thawed, food will deteriorate rapidly and should never be refrozen.

Do not exceed the storage states shown on the food.

Warning! Always unplug your appliance before any maintenance work. Never pull on the power cord, but only on the plug itself.

Cleaning

For hygiene reasons, regularly clean the appliance (side walls and interior and exterior accessories).

Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can damage plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice, butyric acid or acetic acid.

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning it.
• Remove food from the appliance. Store it in a cool place and keep well covered.
• Do not clean the refrigerator by pouring on water. Do not use abrasive products or detergents to clean the appliance.
• Make sure that water does not enter the lamp box and other electrical components.
• The appliance must be cleaned regularly with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water.
• Clean accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in the dishwasher.
• Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
  • After cleaning them, rinse surfaces with clear water and dry them.
  • After everything is dry, plug the appliance back in with dry hands.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice per year. This provides energy savings and improves performance

Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.

Defrost

• Your refrigerator defrosts automatically. The water from the defrosting process runs out through the water collection chute into the water tray behind your refrigerator, where it evaporates.
• Make sure that your refrigerator is unplugged before cleaning the water tray.
• Remove the water tray from its position by unscrewing (if it is screwed in). Clean regularly with soapy water. This will prevent the formation of odours.

Cleaning the drain

To stop the defrost water from running into the refrigerator, clean the drain at the back of the refrigerator part from time to time. To do this, use a cleaning product as shown in the diagram on the right.
