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
overhanging wall unit, the minimum 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 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 supply; the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after installation.

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. lf the domestic power
supply socket is not earthed, connect the
appliance to a separate earth in compliance

4. Daily Use
First use / Cleaning the
interior
Before using the appliance for the first
•
time, 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.
Important! Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these will damage
the finish.

The freezer 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.
Storing frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period
•
out of use. Before putting the product in
the compartment let the appliance run at
least 2 hours on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental

been off for longer than the value shown
in the technical characteristics chart
under 8 hours, the defrosted food must

Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be
•
used, can be thawed in the freezer or at
a
room temperature, depending on the
