Figure E
The hot air produced between the
appliance and the wall behind it must be
allowed to escape easily, otherwise the
appliance shall have to work harder then
necessary and thereby incur high and
unnecessary electricity consumption.
For this reason, the ventilation and air
openings must never be blocked.
Connecting the
appliance/
Turning it on/
Setting the temperature
Clean the appliance before turning it on
for the first time.
Connecting the appliance
The mains alectricity supply socket must
be easily accessible. Connect the
appliance to a 220-240 V (N/SN) or 220-
230 V (ST)/50 Hz AC electricity current
via an earthed electricity socket fitted in
accordance with relevant standards. The
connection must be protected by a fuse
of at least 10 amps.
When an appliance is to be used in
Non-European country, it is
necessary to check that the

Information and warnings
regarding the appliance
when in u
se .
• The fan (Fig. Q/18) turns itself on and
off as required by the refrigerator
compartment.
• The front of the freezer housing heats
up slightly. This prevents condensed
water from forming in the area of the
door seal.
• When the refrigeration system is
working, drops of water or frost form
on the back wall of the refrigerator.
This is perfectly normal and occurs for
technical reasons. It is not necessary
to scrape the frost or dry the drops as
they should desappear automatically. 
Defrosting water is collected in the
drainage duct (Fig. I/A) and returned
to the refrigerator system, where it
then evaporates.
• When air conditions are extremely
humid, condensed water may form
inside the refrigerator, particularly on
the glass shelves. Should this happen,
then food in the refrigerator should be
wrapped and a lower temperature set.
• Sometimes after closing the door, it
may not be possible to open it straight
away. This is because a depression is
created inside the  appliance when the
door is opened. When this happens,
wait two or three minutes before trying
to open the door again to allow the
depression inside the appliance to be
comprensated for.
• The refrigeration system your
appliance uses means that frost may
form quite quickly on some points of
the freezer shelves. This does not in
any way affect the working order of
your appliance or bring about any
increase in electricity consumption.

harmful to the health when wrapping or
sealing food.
Suitable material to wrap food up in
Plastic film, polyethylene bags  and film,
aluminium foil, boxes and containersspe
Suitable mateial - Suitable material to
seal food wrapping with
Elastic bands, plastic clips string,
nonfreezable adhesive tape etc.
Whenever possible, ensure that frozen
food already in the freezer compartment
does not come into contact with the fresh
food you wish to freeze.
Maximum freezing capacity: 14 kg in
24 hours (on freezer shelves).
In order for it to maintain its nutritional
value, vitamins and appearance, it is
necessary to freeze the middle of the
food as fast as possible. For this reason,
the appliance’s maximum freezing
capacity should not be exceeded.
In the event of needing to freeze a large
quantity of foodstuff, all the freezer
drawers can be removed (except the
lowermost drawer) and the food can be
stacked on the freezer shelves. To
remove the drawers, pull them out to
their limit and then tilt them upwards.
When freezing products in the freezer
drawers, reduce the appliance’s freezing
capacity slightly.
If you wish to keep already-frozen food
in the freezer, turn the “super” function
on several hours before putting the fresh
food in the freezer.
Storing frozen products
• In order not to obstruct the free
circulation of air inside the appliance,
make sure that all the freezer drawers
in the compartment are pushed in to
the limit.
