[. . . ] Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following: • The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law. • The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e. g. • The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e. g. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). [. . . ] Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions (see Installation). Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal light illuminates. Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf. GB 2 Using the refrigerator to its full potential • Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description). • Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips). They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form. Setting the temperature The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the compressor is operating or paused. If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will occur automatically). In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below. A B Access the light bulb (A) by unscrewing the fixing screw (B) which is located at the back of the lampcover, as shown (see diagram). Replace it with a similar light bulb, the power of which should not exceed 15W. 6 Precautions and tips !The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards.
