SAFETY INFORMATION

In the interest of your safety and to ensure
the correct use, before installing and first
using the appliance, read this user manual
carefully, including its hints and warnings.
To avoid unnecessary mistakes and acci­dents, it is important to ensure that all
people using the appliance are thoroughly
familiar with its operation and safety fea­tures. Save these instructions and make
sure that they remain with the appliance if
it is moved or sold, so that everyone using
it through its life will be properly informed
on appliance use and safety.
For the safety of life and property keep
the precautions of these user's instruc­tions as the manufacturer is not responsi­ble for damages caused by omission.

1.1 Children and vulnerable
people safety

• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with re­duced physical, sensory or mental ca­pabilities, 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.

• Keep all packaging well away from chil­dren. There is risk of suffocation.

• If you are discarding the appliance pull
the plug out of the socket, cut the con­nection cable (as close to the appliance
as you can) and remove the door to
prevent playing children to suffer elec­tric shock or to close themselves into it.

• If this appliance featuring magnetic
door seals is to replace an older appli­ance having a spring lock (latch) on the
door or lid, be sure to make that spring
lock unusable before you discard the
old appliance. This will prevent it from
becoming a death trap for a child.

(such as ice cream makers) inside of re­frigerating appliances, unless they are
approved for this purpose by the manu­facturer.

• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

• The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is
contained within the refrigerant circuit of
the appliance, a natural gas with a high
level of environmental compatibility,
which is nevertheless flammable.

During transportation and installation of
the appliance, be certain that none of
the components of the refrigerant cir­cuit become damaged.

If the refrigerant circuit should become
damaged:

– avoid open flames and sources of ig-

nition

– thoroughly ventilate the room in

4. DAILY USE

4.1 Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.

In the event of accidental defrost­ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off
for longer than the value shown in
the technical characteristics chart
under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then
re-frozen (after cooling).

4.2 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de­pending on the time available for this op­eration.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro­zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.

4.3 Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Fast
Freeze function at least 24 hours before

placing the food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the
bottom compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-

ing plate, a label located on the inside of

the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur­ing this period do not add other food to
be frozen.

The refrigerator compartment is equipped
with a device that allows for rapid cooling
of foods and more uniform temperature in
the compartment.
This device activates by itself when nee­ded, for example for a quick temperature
recovering after door opening or when the
ambient temperature is high.
Allows you to switch on the device man­ually when needed (refer to "DYNAMICAIR
Function").

The DYNAMICAIR device stops when the
door is open and restarts immediately af­ter the door closing.

4.6 Bottle rack

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the
shelves can be positioned as desired.

Place the bottles (with the opening facing
front) in the pre-positioned shelf.

If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place
only closed bottles.
This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in or­der to store previously opened bottles. To
obtain this result, pull the shelf up so it
can rotate upwards and be placed on the
next higher level.

• Insert again the PUREADVANTAGE
cartridge in the internal tank.

5.4 How to use the PUREADVANTAGE filter cartridge

Step 1: Preparing the cartridge

To prepare your PUREADVANTAGE filter
cartridge, remove the protective wrapper
(note: cartridge and inside wrapper may
appear moist, this is simply condensa­tion).
Immerse the cartridge in cold water and
shake it gently to remove any air bubbles.
The filter now is ready to use.
As required for some other water filter
cartridges, there is no need to pre-soak
the new PUREADVANTAGE Cartridge.

Step 2: Insert in the internal tank

Remove the cover. Before inserting the
cartridge, remove the internal tank and
clean it thoroughly by rising it and wiping
it dry.
Then, thoroughly clean the inside of the
water tank with a dump cloth and wipe it
dry as well.
Place the cartridge into the filter tank and
push downwards until it 'clicks' firmly into
place.
The cartridge should stay in place if the
internal tank is turned upside down.

ENGLISH 13

Step 3: Rinse the cartridge

2x

Step 4: Refill the water tank

3x

Take the internal tank out of the PUREAD­VANTAGE water filter unit, fill it under the
tap with cold tap water and allow it to filter
through.
Discard the first two fillings into the sink.
These first two fillings are used to flush
the filter cartridge.
Then, place the internal tank back into
PUREADVANTAGE water filter unit.
Place the cover back onto the jug and
press it carefully downwards to ensure it
fits correctly into place.

5.5 Remove cartridge with ring pull handle

To fill the tank with cold water, simply
open the flip top lid, take a jug of tap wa­ter and pour it inside the tank through the
cover as shown into the picture (use the
lid every time that you want to fill your wa­ter) or take out the water tank (pull the
handle (1) and then take it out from its
place (2)) and fill it with cold water under
the tap.

In order to avoid risk of spillage of
water during closing and opening
of the refrigerator door, we rec­ommend to not fill completely the

2

water tank ,maximum 4 liters.

If you have not used all filtered
water in the water tank within 1-2
days, please discard any water left
inside the PUREADVANTAGE wa­ter filter unit and wash before refill-

ing it.
Allow the water to filter through and re­peat "Step 4" as many times as you want
until the PUREADVANTAGE water filter
unit is filled up.

To exchange the cartridge after four
weeks, simply use the ring pull handle on
the top of the cartridge to remove it from
the internal tank, and repeat steps 1 - 3
above.

5.6 The PUREADVANTAGE Memo

legal regulations safe to drink) or with
water from private supplies which has
been tested safe to drink.

If an instruction is received from the au­thorities that mains water must be
boiled, the PUREADVANTAGE filtered
water has also to be boiled. When the
instruction to boil water is no longer in
force, the entire filter system must be
cleaned and a new cartridge inserted.

6. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

ENGLISH 17

6.1 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run con­tinuously, causing frost or ice on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting
and so a saving in electricity consump­tion.

6.2 Hints for fresh food

refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if
it has a strong flavour

• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it

6.3 Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed on
any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the spe­cial drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the re­frigerator.

6.4 Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on
the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours.
No further food to be frozen should be
added during this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor­oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to enable
it to be rapidly and completely frozen
and to make it possible subsequently to
thaw only the quantity required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the lat­ter;

• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life
of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately af­ter removal from the freezer compart­ment, can possibly cause the skin to be
freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.

6.5 Hints for storage of frozen

food

To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by
the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans­ferred from the foodstore to the freezer
in the shortest possible time;

7. CARE AND CLEANING

• not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary;

• once defrosted, food deteriorates rap­idly and cannot be refrozen;

• do not exceed the storage period indi­cated by the food manufacturer.

7.1 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal ac­cessories with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage
the finish.

CAUTION!

Unplug the appliance before car­rying out any maintenance opera­tion.

This appliance contains hydrocar­bons in its cooling unit; mainte­nance and recharging must there­fore only be carried out by author­ized technicians.

7.2 Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regular­ly:

• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any

pipes and/or cables inside the
cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean­ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam­age the surface and leave a
strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.

Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/dam­age the plastics used in this appliance.
For this reason it is recommended that
the outer casing of this appliance is only
cleaned with warm water with a little
washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.

7.3 Defrosting the refrigerator

7.4 Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment of this model,
on the other hand, is a "no frost" type.
This means that there is no buildup of
frost when it is in operation, neither on the
internal walls nor on the foods.

ENGLISH 19

Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compart­ment every time the motor compressor
stops, during normal use. The defrost wa­ter drains out through a drain hole into a
special container at the back of the appli­ance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the de­frost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to pre­vent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which
you will find already inserted into the drain
hole.

The absence of frost is due to the contin­uous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.
