Installation
Positioning and connection
GB
Proper installation of the appliance is essential to
ensure the best and most effi cient performance
of your appliance.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and,
therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms
with less than perfect ventilation are not very suited
for installation of the appliance. Therefore, it should
be installed in a room with an opening (window
or French window) that provides the appropriate
amount of air recirculation. It is also important that
the room should not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or
obstruct the grates that allow proper ventilation of
the appliance.
For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must
leave:
– a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and
any cabinets above it;
– a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the
appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it
is directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook
top or the like.
Levelling
The fl oor should be perfectly levelled; if not, you can
adjust the feet at the front of the appliance.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or
freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and
baking soda. After having plugged the appliance in,
make sure that pilot lamp is light.
Set thermostat knob onto a medium position and
can place food in the fridge after only a few hours.
When the freezer has reached the optimum
temperature, you can place frozen food in the
freezer.
Earthing
Before making the electrical connection, check that
the voltage shown on the data plate, that you will
fi nd on the bottom right hand side of the appliance
next to the crisper, corresponds to that of your mains
and that the socket is earthen in conformity with all
current electrical regulations. If the system is not
earthen, the manufacturer declines all liability for
consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters
or multiple sockets.
Check the power load
The electrical socket must support the maximum
power load of the appliance shown on the data plate
(on the bottom right hand side of the appliance next
to the crisper).
Before plugging the appliance to the mains
Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours
before plugging the appliance into the mains to
ensure proper performance.
This appliance complies with the following
Community Directives:
-73/23/EEC of 19.02.73 (Low Voltage) and
subsequent amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
-2002/96/EC (WEEE).
Troubleshooting
Assistance
If the appliance does not work, before calling for Service center (see Service certifi cate),
check for a solution from the following list.
Green LED does not light up.
Have you checked whether:
The main switch for the power supply to the
apartment or home has been turned off;
The plug is properly inserted in the outlet;
The outlet is adequate; try inserting the plug into
another outlet in the room.
The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool
properly.
Have you checked whether:
The doors do not close well or the seals are faulty;
The doors are left open too long;
The thermostat knob is not on the proper setting;
The refrigerator or freezer is overfi lled.
The food in the refrigerator becomes too cold.
Have you checked whether:
The thermostat knob is on the proper setting.
The motor runs continuously.
Have you checked whether
The doors are not closed well or have remained
open too long;
The ambient temperature is too high;
The thermostat knob is not on the proper setting.
The appliance makes too much noise.
The gas refrigerant produces a slight noise even
when the compressor is not running (this is not a
defect).
Have you checked whether:
The refrigerator is level.
The appliance was installed between cabinets or
objects that vibrate and make noise.
If after all the checks, the appliance still does not
operate or the problem persists, call the nearest
Service Centre and inform them of: the type of
problem, the abbreviation of the model name (Mod.)
and the relative numbers (S/N) written on the rating
plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable
crisper (see examples in the fi gures below).
Never call on unauthorized technicians and
always refuse spare parts, which are not
originals.
Before calling for Service center:
– check if the malfunction can be solved on your
own (see Troubleshooting);
– if after all the checks, the appliance still does not
operate or the problem persist, call the nearest
Service centre.
Communicating:
– appliance model;
– serial number (this information can be found on
the data plate located on the bottom right side of the
refrigerator compartment);
