Start-up and use  
SHELVES: with or without grill.  
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.  
Starting the appliance  
GB  
1
! 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.  
2
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the  
internal light illuminates.  
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an  
average value. After a few hours you will be able to  
put food in the refrigerator.  
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).  
Setting the temperature  
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than  
raw foods.  
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment  
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of  
the thermostat knob.  
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will  
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause  
condensation to form.  
1 = warmest 5 = coldest  
We recommend, however, a medium position.  
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. Do not worry, the refrigerator is  
functioning normally.  
Using the freezer to its full potential  
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has  
already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked  
and eaten (within 24 hours).  
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into  
contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh  
food must be stored above the grill in the freezer  
compartment and if possible be in direct contact with the  
walls (side and rear), where the temperature drops  
below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.  
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and  
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer  
because they could break.  
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is  
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties  
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator  
compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).  
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.  
The food should be stored as follows:  
Arrangement inside the  
refrigerator  
Food  
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the  
freezer compartment, you may remove the bins  
(except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE  
ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature)  
and place the food directly onto the evaporator  
plates.

Cooked food  
On any shelf  
Salami, bread loaf,  
chocolate  
On any shelf  
! Do not open the door during freezing.  
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the  
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside  
the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9  
-14 hours.  
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended  
period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in  
the freezer compartment and food preservation will be  
reduced.

Maintenance and care  
Switching the appliance off  
Defrosting the freezer compartment  
GB  
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to  
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.  
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs  
If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to  
defrost manually:  
on

(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.  
1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the  
position  
0
.
2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in  
another freezer or in a cool place.  
Cleaning the appliance  
• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber  
seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been  
soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or  
neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products,  
bleach or ammonia.  
3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted  
completely. This can be made easier by placing  
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer  
compartment.  
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm  
water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry  
them carefully.  
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can  
be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum  
cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be  
switched off and the plug must be pulled out before  
cleaning the appliance.  
4. Certain appliances are  
fitted with the DRAIN  
SYSTEM to lead the water  
outside: insert the scraper  
into the slot provided at the  
bottom and let the water  
flow into a container (see  
diagram).  
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours  
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials  
which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free  
refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food  
must always be covered or sealed properly.  
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended  
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors  
open.  
5. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully  
before switching the appliance on again.  
6. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal  
storage conditions have been restored, before  
placing food in the freezer compartment.  
Replacing the light bulb  
Defrosting the appliance  
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment,  
pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the

Precautions and tips  
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in  
compliance with international safety standards. The  
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and  
must be read carefully.  
Disposal  
GB  
• Observe local environmental standards when  
disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires  
that old household electrical appliances must not be  
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste  
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately  
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the  
materials they contain and reduce the impact on  
human health and the environment. The crossed out  
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of  
your obligation, that when you dispose of the  
appliance it must be separately collected.  
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/CE..  
General safety  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal  
of their old appliance.  
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the  
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.  
• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food  
products by adults only and according to the  
instructions in this manual.  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
appliance exposed to rain and storms.  
Respecting and conserving the environment  
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated  
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight  
and do not place it near heat sources.  
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or  
moist hands and feet.  
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could  
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or  
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve  
energy.  
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug  
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.  
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the  
appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It  
is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs  
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food:  
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved  
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will  
work continuously.  
on  
0
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.  
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances  
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.  
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may  
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.  
• Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical  
equipment - other than the type recommended by the  
manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage  
compartments.  
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The  
internal temperature will increase and force the  
compressor to work harder and will consume more  
energy.  
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance).  
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food  
products more difficult and results in increased  
energy consumption.  
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into  
your mouth.  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons  
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or  
lack of experience and knowledge unless they have  
been given supervision or instruction concerning use  
of the appliance by a person responsible for their  
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that  
they do not play with the appliance.  
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to  
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air  
from escaping (see Maintenance).  
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It  
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
