refrigerator from Smeg. Please note that these instructions apply to all refrigerators in the SW range. Illustrations and fittings may therefore not necessarily correspond exactly to your model. Warning As the refrigerant used in this appliance is a flammable gas (Isobutane R600a), special care must be taken to prevent damage to the refrigerant circuit and piping during transport and installation. If damage does occur, avoid sparks or naked flame in the vicinity of the appliance, ensure that the room is well ventilated, disconnect the power supply, and contact your supplier. The unit must only be serviced by quali- fied technicians from an approved service centre. Old appliances Old refrigerators and freezers are often fitted with complicated latches that can only be opened from the outside. If you have one of these old units stored away somewhere, or if you scrap one, remember to destroy the latch first in order to prevent children from being exposed to great dan- ger by getting locked inside the unit. Before use Before operating your new appliance, please read the following instructions care- fully as they contain important information on safety, installation, operation and main- tenance. Keep the instructions for future reference. On receipt, check to ensure that the appli- ance has not been damaged during trans- port. Transport damage should be reported to the local distributor before the refrigerator is put to use. Remove the packaging. Clean the inside of the cabinet using warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly (see cleaning instructions). Use a soft cloth. If during transport the appliance has been laid down, or if it has been stored in cold surroundings (colder than +5°C), it must be allowed to stabilise in an upright position for at least an hour before being switched on.

absolutely level. To level the appliance, remove the kick plate below the door and screw the adjustable feet up or down (figs 8-9). If necessary, it is possible to adjust the back feet before the upright is installed. Use a spirit level to check that the appliance is absolutely level. If the appliance is to be placed on a soft surface, e.g. floorboards or a carpet, it is best to recheck whether the appliance is still level after a period of time as the underlying surface may give under the weight of the appliance. fig. 8 fig. 9 Do not tilt the upright more than 7 degrees to avoid damaging the floor. >7º <7º fig. 10 fig. 11

The door can be changed from right-hinged to left-hinged and vice versa as follows: 1. Lay the appliance on its back with the door uppermost. 2. Remove the upper hinge. 3. Move the plastic plugs to where the upper hinge was fitted. 4. Lift off the door and lay it aside. 10. Remember to pull the pin in the door closer towards the side before fitting the door.. 6. Loosen lock nut with the fork wrench enclosed and move the pin. 11. Refit the door. 12. Fit the upper hinge. 9. Remove the door closer and refit it on the opposite side. 5. Remove the kick plate by pulling it outwards and upwards. 7. Remove the lower hinge. Rotate the hinge through 180° and refit it on the opposite side of the appliance. 8. Refit the kick plate 15. After reversing the door(s), it is important to check that the sealing strip provides a tight seal all the way round. If it does not, carefully heat the strip all the way round using a hair dryer. Then ease the strip outwards slightly so that it forms a tight seal against the cabinet. Be careful not to heat the strip so much that it melts! 13. Remove the door handle and refit it on the opposite side. Refit the caps. 14. The appliance must be allowed to stabilise in an upright position for at least 1 hour before being switched on.

to alternating current. The required volt- age (V) and frequency (Hz) are stated on the nameplate inside the appliance. Power must be connected via an independent wall socket outlet. Technical data This appliance complies with CE marking regulations, directives and standards. Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC. EMC Directive 89/336/EEC. Council Directive 92/75/EEC on the en- ergy labelling of household appliances as subsequently amended by 94/2/EC and 2003/66/EC.

from 1 (less cold) to 7 (more cold). A suitable setting must be found by trial and error. Start by setting the button to 4. Check the temperature, then adjust the setting upwards or downwards as required. Usually, a temperature of 5°C is recommended for items stored in a refrigerator. To check the temperature, place a thermometer in a glass of water positioned in the centre of the cabinet for 12 hours. The average temperature is usually found in the centre of the cabinet. The chiller section corresponds to an old-fashioned larder. The temperature fluctuates between +8ºC and +12ºC. Temperature control of chiller section: The refrigerator and chiller sections are separated by a temperature plate, positioned above the crisper bins.

and can be repositioned within the cabinet. To move the shelves, the door must be opened 90°. To remove a shelf, pull it forwards and lower it. The shelf can then be removed and placed in the desired position. From the top and downwards, the shelves are suitable for storing bakery products, ready-made meals, dairy products, meat products and sliced meat. Storage boxes The storage boxes can either be placed in the door or on the glass shelves. The tight- fitting lids prevent items stored in the boxes from drying out. The boxes are ideal for storing items such as butter and cheese. Bottle rack The bottle rack is ideal for both large and small bottles. Crisper bins The crisper bins are ideal for storing fruit and vegetables. The shelf above the bins functions as a lid, maintaining humidity and preventing the items stored in the bins from drying out. Glass shelf with slide damper The slide damper above the crisper bins allows the temperature and humidity in the bins to be regulated. - Opening the damper reduces the temperature and humidity. - Closing the damper increases the temperature and humidity. Shelves in the door The shelves in the door are practically positioned with the box shelf at the top, the egg holder in the middle and door shelves at the bottom. They provide ample space for storing large and small bottles, cartons, jars and tubs. All shelves can be repositioned. Layout and fittings fig. 13 fig. 14 fig. 15

Defrost water runs through a pipe and is collected in a tray above the compressor where the heat generated by the compressor causes it to evaporate. The defrost water tray should be cleaned at intervals. Cleaning Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the inside of the cabinet. The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max. 60°C) with a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is important to prevent water from entering the control panel. The defrost water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located on the rear wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost water drain a couple of times a year, and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or similar. Never use sharp or pointed implements. The sealing strip around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal. Dust collecting on the compressor and in the compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner. It is possible to clean beneath the appliance by removing the kick plate. Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance Stainless steel or aluminium doors are best cleaned using a care spray and soft cloth. Various suitable products are available from most household appliance distributors. If the appliance is not to be used for any length of time, switch it off, empty it, clean the cabinet and fittings, and leave the door slightly open to allow air circulation and prevent smells. Replacing the light bulb Max. 12 W Unscrew the bulb without removing the shade. Bulbs with an output of more than 12 W must not be used. Save energy - Cool hot food and beverages before placing them in the refrigerator. - Thaw frozen items in a refrigerator. - Keep the door closed as much as possible. - Ensure that the door is not prevented from closing tightly.
