SAFETY INFORMATION
ENGLISH 3
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.
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.
GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING!
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance
enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear
of obstruction.
• The appliance is intended for keeping
foodstuff and/or beverages in a normal
household as explained in this instruction
booklet.
• Do not use a mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the thawing
process.
• Do not use other electrical appliances
(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 igni-
tion
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which
the appliance is situated
• It is dangerous to alter the specifications
or modify this product in any way. Any
damage to the cord may cause a shortcircuit, fire and/or electric shock.
WARNING!
Any electrical component (power
cord, plug, compressor) must be
replaced by a certified service
agent or qualified service personnel
to avoid hazard.
1.
Power cord must not be lengthened.

from the appliance. Use a plastic scraper.
• Regularly examine the drain in the refrigerator for defrosted water. If necessary,
clean the drain. If the drain is blocked,
water will collect in the bottom of the appliance.
INSTALLATION
For electrical connection carefully
follow the instructions given in specific paragraphs.
• Unpack the appliance and check if there
are damages on it. Do not connect the
appliance if it is damaged. Report possible damages immediately to the place
you bought it. In that case retain packing.
• It is advisable to wait at least four hours
before connecting the appliance to allow
the oil to flow back in the compressor.
• Adequate air circulation should be
around the appliance, lacking this leads
to overheating. To achieve sufficient ventilation follow the instructions relevant to
installation.
• Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall to avoid
touching or catching warm parts (compressor, condenser) to prevent possible
burn.
• The appliance must not be located close
to radiators or cookers.
• Make sure that the mains plug is accessible after the installation of the appliance.
• Connect to potable water supply only (If
a water connection is foreseen).

OPERATION
SWITCHING ON
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise
to a medium setting.
SWITCHING OFF
To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature regulator to the "O" position.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
• turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
However, the exact setting should be
chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
ENGLISH 7
A medium setting is generally the
most suitable.
If the ambient temperature is high
or the appliance is fully loaded, and
the appliance is set to the lowest
temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the
rear wall. In this case the dial must
be set to a higher temperature to
allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consumption.

FIRST USE
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.
DAILY USE
ENGLISH 9
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 foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation,
turn the temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset
the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
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.
MOVABLE SHELVES
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 refrozen (after cooling).
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.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
POSITIONING THE DOOR SHELVES
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed
at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
gradually pull the shelf in the direction of
the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required.
