1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in
an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to leave
it exposed to rain or storms.
2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate
and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use con-
tained in this manual.
3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or
with wet hands or feet.
4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension
cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed
between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or dan-
gerously pinched or compressed.
5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the
plug from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.
6. Never touch the cooling components within the appliance,
especially with wet hands because this could result in injury.
Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your
Installation
Levelling
Proper installation of the appliance is essential to en-
sure the best and most efficient performance of your
appliance.
The floor should be perfectly level; if not, you can adjust the
feet at the front of the appliance.
Earthing
Ventilation
Before making the electrical connection, check that the volt-
age shown on the data plate, that you will find on the bot-
tom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper, cor-
responds to that of your home and that the socket is earthed
in compliance with all current electrical regulations. If the
system is not earthed, the manufacturer declines all liability
for consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or
multiple sockets.
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, there-
fore, 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 provide the
appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important
that the room not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the
grates that allow for 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;
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access
the socket where it is plugged in.
Check the power load
The electrical socket must support the maximum power load
of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom
left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper).
- 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.
Before plugging the appliance to the mains
Stand the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before
plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper per-
formance.

How to Start the Appliance
After having plugged the appliance in, make sure that pilot
lamp (D) is lit. If not, make sure that the freezer knob (B) is not on
position " ".
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.
Refrigerator compartment
Set knob (A) onto a medium position and you can place
food in the fridge after only a few hours.
Motor protection delay
Freezer compartment
This model is provided with a motor protection control
system. Therefore, if the compressor does not start
immediately upon installation, do not worry as it will
start automatically after approximately 8 minutes. This
is also what will happen every time the power supply
is interrupted, both due to a power failure or should
you switch it off yourself (to clean or defrost your
freezer, for example).
Set knob (A) to a medium position and press the rapid
freezing button "Super Freeze" (F), pilot lamp (E) is lit. When
the freezer has reached the optimum temperature, yellow
indicator light "E" will come off. Now you can place frozen
food in the freezer.
How to use the refrigerator compartment...
Flex Cool Box
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature in-
side the appliance
This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese fresh.
When positioned in the “lower” part of the fridge
compartment, it is ideal for meat and fish; when moved to
the “top” part of the fridge, it is perfect for cheese. It can
be taken out of the fridge when it is not needed.
= less cold
= colder
It is recommended that a medium setting be used.
When the fridge compartment is filled up after a heavy
shopping spree, use the "Super Cool", press button (G) to
enable it, in order to reach optimum operating conditions
quickly. Once the necessary time has elapsed, the function
is disabled automatically.
Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of
foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will
deteriorate quite quickly.
Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer
than fresh food.
The refrigerator compart-
ment of your appliance is fit-
ted with practical removable
Play Zone (Fig. 2)
Thanks to the new “Play Zone” bottle rack, you can cool
several bottles, cans and energy drinks quickly to have them
constantly at hand.
If the “Play Zone” is placed on the glass shelf, you can store
large and medium sized bottles on it simply by laying the
bottle on the flat rack.This is ideal for storing wine bottles.
When folded and secured in place on either side of the shelf,
the rack can be used to store cans (at the top), energy drinks
(in the centre) and other cans and energy drinks can be rested
horizontally on the remaining part of the shelf.When placing
cans (onto the Play zone rack), make sure they do not touch
the back of the refrigerator interior.
The “Play Zone” can be used just like a normal shelf (when
placed flat) and moved up or down along the fridge walls
together with the rest of the shelf. It can be washed easily,
and is also dishwasher safe. The ideal position for the Play
zone rack is the central shelf.

shelves can also be tilted for
storage of opened bottles.
Remember to cool hot food
before storing otherwise the
temperature inside the appli-
ance will increase, causing
Fig. 1
the compressor to work harder and use more energy.
Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this
will increase the humidity and lead to the formation
of frost in the refrigerator.
WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside
the refrigerator, it is advisable not to obstruct the
ventilation holes with food or containers.

How to use the freezer compartment...
For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-
sult a specialized manual.
Ice trays
This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent.
Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-
frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24
hours) or to freeze it once again.
When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not
touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place
the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment
(M) where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is
ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper con-
servation depends on the speed of freezing.
The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is
indicated on the data plate situated inside the refrigerator
compartment.
The first time, or after the freezer has been inactive, you can
only freeze food after having let the appliance function at
maximum.
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).
Instructions for use (Fig. 2)
Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level
indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed
it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the
formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice
cubes.
If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will
have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray
and re-fill it with water.
Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the
hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. Thanks to the connected
compartments, the water fills up the special shapes, after
which you can cover the hole up with the special cap and
place the ice tray in the inner door of the freezer
compartment.
Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the
tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away
from their housing and come out of the same hole used to
fill the tray with water. To make it easier for the ice cubes to
come out, wet the outside of the tray.
Press the freezing button “Super Freeze” (F), yellow lamp
(E) lit, and insert the food to be frozen. After 24 hours, or
once the optimum temperatures have been reached, the
rapid freezing function will switch itself off automatically,
yellow lamp (E) off.
During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the
freezer.
In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec-
ommended that you divide food into small portions so that
they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be
clearly marked with the content and the date they were
frozen.
Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure
or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tem-
perature within the compartment. If the door is not opened,
frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state
for approximately 9-14 hours.
WARNING: every time you fill up the ice tray with water ,
make sure that the same is completely empty and that there
are no traces of ice left inside it.
The minimum time required for ice to form well is
approximately 8 hours.
Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.
WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside
the refrigerator, it is advisable not to obstruct the
ventilation holes with food or containers.

Tips on Saving Energy
- Keep an Eye on the Seals
Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to
the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.
- 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".
- No Hot Foods
- Just the right cold
Too cold a compartment increases energy consumption.
A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises
the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food
cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the re-
frigerator.
- 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.
- Close the Doors
Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time
you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tem-
perature to the proper level again, the motor must work for
a long time, consuming energy.
Alarm buzzers and visual warnings
Door open alarm
2. If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to
excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again
and the two yellow indicator lights "C" and "E" together
with the green one "D" will start flashing to indicate an
excessive heating. We recommend you check the
conditions of the food, as it may be necessary to throw it
away. Using the special alarm silencing procedure (open
and shut the refrigerator door), you can turn off the
buzzer. To go back to normal operating conditions, set
the freezer knob "B" to position " " (refrigerator off)
and then turn the appliance back on.
If the refrigerator door is left open for more than two
minutes, a buzzer will sound. The buzzer will stop sounding
when you shut the door.
Abnormal freezer heating alarm
1. To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer,
a buzzer will sound and the two yellow indicator lights
"C" and "E" will start flashing to indicate a dangerous
state of overheating. To prevent food from refreezing,
the freezer will try to maintain a temperature of 0°C,
thus allowing you to use up the food within 24 hour or to
refreeze it after cooking it. Using the special alarm
silencing procedure (open and shut the refrigerator door),
you can turn off the buzzer. To go back to normal
operating conditions, set the freezer knob "F" to position
