							CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before car-
rying out any maintenance oper-
ation.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
6.2 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regu-
larly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
• regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside
the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a
strong odour.Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface clean-
ers contain chemicals that can attack/
damage the plastics used in this appli-
ance. For this reason it is recommended
that the outer casing of this appliance is
only cleaned with warm water with a little
washing-up liquid added.
6.3 Defrosting
Your appliance is frost free. This means
that there is no buildup of frost when it is
in operation, neither on the internal walls
nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the con-
tinuous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.
7. WHAT TO DO IF…
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often
occur, which does not require calling a
technician out. In the following chart in-
formation is given about them to avoid
unnecessary charges on service.
The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (com-
pressor and circulating sound).
This not means a trouble, but a
normal operation.
The appliance operates discon-
tinuously, so the stopping of
compressor does not mean be-
ing no current. That is why you
must not touch the electrical
parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.

8. INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Read the "Safety Information"
carefully for your safety and cor-
rect operation of the appliance
before installing the appliance.
8.1 Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where
the ambient temperature corresponds to
the climate class indicated on the rating
plate of the appliance:
Cli-
mate
classAmbient temperature
SN+10°C to + 32°C
N+16°C to + 32°C
ST+16°C to + 38°C
T+16°C to + 43°C
ENGLISH13 
						

							8.2 Location
AB
100 mm
min 20 mm
The appliance should be installed well
away from sources of heat such as radia-
tors, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure
that air can circulate freely around the
back of the cabinet. To ensure best per-
formance, if the appliance is positioned
below an overhanging wall unit, the min-
imum distance between the top of the
cabinet and the wall unit must be at least
100 mm . Ideally, however, the appliance
should not be positioned below over-
hanging wall units. Accurate levelling 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 supply; the plug must
therefore be easily accessible af-
ter installation.
8.3 Rear spacers
2
431You can find the two spacers in the bag
with documentation.
Do these steps to install the spacers:
1.Release the screw.
2.Engage the spacer below the screw.
3.Turn the spacer to the right position.
4.Tighten again the screws.
8.4 Electrical Connection
CAUTION!
Any electrical work required to
install this appliance should be
carried out by a qualified electri-
cian or competent person.
WARNING!
This appliance must be earthed.
The manufacturer declines any li-
ability should these safety meas-
ures not be observed.

							The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:
A Green and Yellow: Earth
CBrown: Live
E Blue: Neutral
As the colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance may not corre-
spond with the coloured markings iden-
tifying the terminals in your plug, pro-
ceed as follows:
1.Connect the wire coloured green
and yellow to the terminal marked
either with the letter “E“ or by the
earth symbol 
 or coloured green
and yellow.
2.Connect the wire coloured blue to
the terminal either marked with the
letter “N“ or coloured black.
3.Connect the wire coloured brown to
the terminal either marked with the
“L“ or coloured red.
4.Check that no cut, or stray strands of
wire is present and the cord clamp D
is secure over the outer sheath.
5.Make sure the electricity supply volt-
age is the same as that indicated on
the appliance rating plate.
6.Switch on the appliance.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp
plug fitted B. In the event of having to
change the fuse in the plug supplied, a
13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse
must be used.
WARNING!
A cut off plug inserted into a 13
amp socket is a serious safety
(shock) hazard. Ensure that it is
disposed of safely.
8.5 Levelling
Accurate levelling prevents the vibration
and noise of the appliance during opera-
tion. To adjust the height of the appli-
ance loosen or tighten the two adjusta-
ble front feet.

							8.6 Door reversibility
To carry out the following opera-
tions, we suggest that this be
made with another person that
will keep a firm hold on the doors
of the appliance during the oper-
ations.
To change the opening direction of the
door, do these steps:
• Remove the plug from the power
socket.
• Tilt back the appliance carefully so
that the compressor cannot touch the
floor.
• Remove the plinth.
• Unscrew and remove the lower hinges.
• Remove the door.

to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the
natural fitting of the gasket.
