MBA 3831 V MBA 3832 V GB Fridge/freezer combined Instructions for installation and use To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend: - use only the MANUFACTURER Service - use only ORIGINAL Spare Parts
Safety - a good habit to get into. ATTENTION Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your appliance. Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards (EN60) ans has been awarded the European approval mark (IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements. It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of readio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).
Electrical connection As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.

How to Start the Appliance NOTICE After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the upright position and wait approximately 3 hours before connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee that it operates properly. 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 "D" is lit.
To use the meat/cheese box, unhook it and remove it from the shelf. To optimise space according to your needs, the same can be moved laterally (Fig. 2). The side bottle rack can be used either for storing bottles (Fig. 3) as well as several cans (2-4) placed horizontally. If not in use, the bottle/can rack can be tipped up and away to make more room inside the refrigerator. Fig. 2 Fig. 3 How to use the freezer compartment... For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual.
Ice trays This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the inner door of the freezer compartment ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided).

Tips on Saving Energy - Install it well And therefore far from heat sources, from direct sunlight, in a well aired place and according to the distances indicated in the section on "Installation/Aeration". - Just the right cold Too cold a compartment increases energy consumption. - Do not Overfill To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously.
Keeping Your Appliance in Shape Before performing any cleaning or defrosting operations, unplug the appliance from the mains electricity supply (set knob “F” to position “ ” and then pull the plug out). Should you fail to follow this procedure, an alarm condition may arise. WARNING: this alarm is not a sign of an anomaly. To restore your appliance’s normal operating conditions, set knob “F” to position “ ” and then to the desired setting. Defrosting WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.
Is There a Problem? Green LED does not light up The appliance makes too much noise. Have you checked whether: • The main switch for the electricity 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 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.
