Refrigerator compartment equipment
Inner door
The shelves of the inner door can be removed to be
moved or cleaned.
Shelves
Temperature
There are different temperature zones in the refrigerator
compartment. The warmest zone is at the top, and the coldest zone is above the cover of the vegetable bins.
The internal temperature is influenced by the following
factors:
• Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• Amount of food products stored
• Appliance setting
Switching off the appliance
To switch off the appliance, keep the EIN/AUS (ON/OFF)
button pressed until the temperature indicator turns off.
The selected temperature setting is stored, even if the
electric current is cut off.

Air humidity regulator
There is an adjustable ventilation grid in front of the support surface found above the fruit and vegetable bins.
The opening of the ventilation slits can be continuously
adjusted.
Right regulator: ventilation slits open.
Left regulator: ventilation slits closed.
When the ventilation slits are open, less air humidity forms
in the fruit and vegetable bins because more air circulates.
Using the freezer compartment
Important!
Do not open the refrigerator if the electric current is cut off!
Foods do not spoil if the appliance is full and the cutoff
lasts a short time (see further information under
“Preservation time in case of failure” in the catalogue or
advertising material). If the power cutoff continues, eat the
thawed foods within a short time. Preservation time drops
when the temperature of the frozen foods increases.
Starting the appliance
See “Starting the refrigerator compartment”
Temperature adjustment
To set the temperature, use the relevant buttons for both
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. See “Using the
refrigerator compartment”
The right temperature for frozen foods and those to be frozen is -18°C.
SUPERFROST function
When the ventilation slits are closed, the natural content of
humidity of the food products in the fruit and vegetable
bins is kept longer.
Storing foods
Make sure that cold air can circulate when storing foods.
The products to be cooled must never be direct contact
with the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment.
They can freeze and partially remain stuck to the wall
when removed, thus preventing the dew from flowing
regularly.
Place foods such as cheese, cold cuts, fruit, vegetables,
previously cooked foods and prepared salads inside containers and cover them. In this way their natural freshness
and aroma will be maintained.
Foods must be stored according to the various temperature zones.
Butter, cheese
- in the inner door inside the butter dish and cheese holder.
Eggs
- in the inner door
Fruit, vegetables, lettuce
- in the vegetable bins
Cold cuts, meat
- in the bottom zone (first shelf or covering above the
vegetable bin)
Dairy products, preserves, jars
- in the top zone or in the inner door
Bottles / tubes
- in the inner door
The SUPERFROST function speeds up the freezing of
fresh food products while at the same time protecting
those already
inside the compartment from undesirable heating.
- The function turns on by pressing the SUPERFROST
button
(G). The yellow indicator (F) lights up.
- It is possible to manually stop this function at any time
by pressing the SUPERFROST button once again. The
yellow indicator turns off.
- If the SUPERFROST function does not stop manually,
it is automatically cut off electronically after about 24
hours. The yellow indicator turns off.
The SUPERFROST function is deactivated if the electric current is cut off!

a container at the back of the appliance, above the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
• It is important to periodically clean the defrost water
drain hole.
18
Page 8
Freezer compartment
Cleaning
• Remove the frost with a plastic scraper,
• Whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 5 mm
complete defrosting should be carried out.
Prooceed as follows:
• Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
• Pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the
ther-mostat knob to the «O» setting.
• Leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf of
the refrigerator compartment, under the drain hole,
remove the plug as shown in the figure.
Never use metal objects for cleaning your
appliance as it may get damaged.
NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as these will damage the surface
and leave a strong odour.
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly..
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors
ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Changing the light bulb
• Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off
the appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply.
• When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and refit the plug.
• Turn the thermostat knob back to the required set-
ting or replace the plug in the power socket.
• Reload the previously removed food into the com-
partment.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Press on the rear hook and at the same time slide
the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Replace the lamp with one of the same power

Something not Working
Problems may be due to causes which can easily be solved before calling the Technical Service. Please follow
these instructions:
Symptom
Door does not close
It is too warm inside the refrigerator
It is too cold inside the refrigerator.
The compressor works continuously.
There is water inside/outside the refrigerator.
Water comes out on the floor.
Noises
Solution
Weight surpasses the storage limit of the door shelf so spread weight
more evenly or take some products out.The appliance is not properly
installed. Please look in the “Building-in” section.
Set a lower temperature.
Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate around them.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating
strip is complete and clean.The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.
Set a warmer temperature.
Turn the thermostat knob to a lower number.
The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal
room temperature.
Check that the ventilation is sufficient and that the ventilation openings
are unobstructed. The cause could be the introduction of large quantities of food and/or frequent opening/closing of the door.
Sometimes is normal. During automatic defrosting frost thaws on the
cooling plate.
Place the drain hose at the back of the cabinet above the drain bowl.
Sometimes this is normal. Temperature control may cause clicking
sounds when the
system is connected or disconnected.
The injected cooling gas may produce a gurgling sound while passing
through the tubes.
The motor may cause a humming noise and/or slight bumping.
The insulation material used has a tendency to slighly increase noise
levels, how ever it allows for much better insulation and a lower energy consumption.
Customer service and spare parts
If you cannot find the remedy for a malfunction in
these operating instructions, please contact your dealer or our customer service department and consult the
Guarantee card.
Selective ordering of replacement parts can save
unnecessary travel and costs. For this reason always
provide the following appliance information:
• Model Name
• Erzeugnis-Nummer (PNC)
• Serial Number (S-No.)
This information can be found on the rating plate
inside the cabenit on the left hand wall. W e recommend that you enter this information here, so
that it is handy if needed.
Technical specifications
The technical data is indicated in the rating plate on the left side inside the appliance.
If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer com-
partment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 12 hours) and
the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short
time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period).
20

Installation
Take utmost care when handling your
appliance so as not to cause any damages to the
cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.
• During normal operation, the condenser and
compressor at the back of the appliance heat up
con- siderably. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result
in component failure and possible food loss. See
installation instructions.
• Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a special cord or assembly available
from the manifacturer or its service agent.
Positioning
• Unpack the cabinet and check that it is in good
condition and free of any transport damage.
• Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and
heat sources.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to
direct sunlight.
• For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be
as shown in Fig.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:
Climate classificati for an ambient temperature
SN + 10 to +32°C
N + 16 to +32°C
ST + 18 to +38°C
T + 18 to +43°C
When the ambient temperature is not included within the range indicated for the class of this appliance, the storage temperature in the appliance
cannot be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to
use the food stored as soon as possible.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the serial number plate correspond
to your domestic power supply.
Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of
obstruction.
It is necessary that the niche is provided with a conduct of ventilation having the following dimensions:
Depth 50 mm
Width 540 mm
Voltage can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage.
For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized autotransformer must be used.
Important
The appliance must be earthed.
The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for
this purpose.
If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed.
connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a specialist
technician.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the
above safety precautions are not observed.
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate,
which is located inside the cabinet on the left hand
wall.

DECLARATION OF TERMS OF WARRANTY (B)
Our appliances are manufactured with utmost care. Despite this fact, it is always possible that a defect is present.
Our customer service will handle it upon request, during or after the period of warranty. The lifetime of the appliance will therefore not be affected. These terms of warranty are based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and
provisions of the Italian Civil Code. The legal rights of the consumer pursuant to this legislation cannot be altered
by this declaration of terms of warranty.
This declaration does not interfere with the seller's obligations of warranty towards the end consumer. The
appliance is warranted within the framework and in observance of the following conditions
1 Based on provisions indicated in paragraphs 2 to 15, we shall repair any defect that appears within a 24-month
period starting on the date the appliance is delivered to the end consumer at no additional cost.
These terms do not apply in the case the appliance is used for professional or similar purposes.
2 The performance covered by the warranty implies that the appliance be put back into its original conditions prior
to the defect's appearance.
The defective components are replaced or repaired. The components replaced free of charge become our property.
3 The defect must be reported immediately in order to prevent more serious damage.
4 Application of the warranty is subject to the consumer producing the proof of purchase bearing the date of pur-
chase and/or the date of delivery.
5 The warranty is inapplicable if damages to delicate pieces such as glass (pyroceram), synthetic materials and
rubber result from improper use.
6 The warranty is inapplicable for mild anomalies that do not undermine the value and overall sturdiness of the
appliance.
7 The obligation of warranty becomes ineffective if the defects are caused by:
- a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water,
- generally anomalous environmental conditions,
- improper use,
- any contact with aggressive products.
8 The warranty is inapplicable to defects due to transport beyond our liability.
Moreover, the warranty does not cover those defects caused by improper installation or assembly, lack of maintenance or failure to follow the assembly and user's instructions.
9 The warranty does not cover defects deriving from repairs or service calls made by unqualified or incompetent
people, or caused by adding non-original accessories or spare parts.
10 Easy to transport appliances must be delivered or sent to customer service. Service calls can be considered
only if the appliances are very large or installed in built-in units.
11 If the appliances are installed in built-in units, sub-built-in, secured or hung in such a ways that their removal
and repositioning require more than half an hour, the relative labour costs will be charged. Associated damages
caused by the removal and repositioning operations are at the user's expense.
12 If repeated repair of the same defect during the period of warranty is not final o if the repair costs are deemed
excessive, it may be decided to replace the defective appliance with another of the same value, in agreement with
the owner.
In this case we reserve the right to ask the user to share in the financial costs, based on the period of use that
has elapsed.
13 The repair covered by the warranty does not entail an extension of the normal period of warranty or the renewal
of the period of warranty.
14 We grant a twelve-month warranty on repairs which is restricted to the same defect.
15 The case in which a liability is legally enforced excepted, this declaration of terms of warranty does not inclu-
de any indemnity or damages outside the appliance that the customer may wish to avail himself of. In the case
of legally recognised liability, reimbursement shall not exceed the purchase value of the appliance.
These terms of warranty are valid only for appliances purchased and used in Belgium. As regards exported
appliances, the user must first of all make sure they meet the technical conditions (e.g. voltage, frequency, installation instructions, type of gas, etc.) of the country in question and that they withstand the local weather and environmental conditions. In the case of appliances purchased abroad, the user must first of all make sure they meet
the ratings required in Belgium. Vital or desirable adaptations are not covered by the warranty, and are not always
feasible.
