GB Installation
!Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance.
!Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1.Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room. 2.Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly and save energy.
3.Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following:
•The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
•The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
•The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e.g. 220240V).
•The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
!Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
!The cable must not be bent or compressed.
!The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
!The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.
Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
!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.
!The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily
(blackout).
Freezer Compartment
When the product is switched on the freezer compartment is set to its default value of -18°C. We recommend that the QUICK FREEZE function is set (the freezer status bar continues to display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the compartment; when the inside of the compartment has reached its optimal temperature the function will be deactivated and the food may be placed inside.
Refrigerator Compartment
When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator compartment is set to its default value of +5°C. We recommend that the SPEED COOL function is set (the refrigerator status bar continues to display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the compartment. After a few hours it will be cool enough for food to be placed inside.
Navigating the display
Setting the temperatures:
If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer compartment displays will indicate the temperature values set at that moment. To change them, simply press the - and + buttons corresponding to the compartment for which you wish to change the set temperature. More specifically, each time the buttons are pressed, the temperature increases or decreases and the level of cold generated inside the compartment is adjusted accordingly. The temperature values that may be selected for the refrigerator compartment are +8°C, +7°C, +6°C, +5°C, +4°C, +3°C and +2°C, while the values that may be set for the freezer are -18°C, -19°C, -20°C, -21°C, -22°C, -24°C and -26°C.
When the HOLIDAY function is active the temperature may not be adjusted, however the appliance adjusts itself automatically so that the optimal settings for the situation are used: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment.
The activation of this function is indicated by the HOLIDAY LED lighting up.
To activate and deactivate the functions, simply press the relevant button; the function status will be signalled by the corresponding LED on the keypad switching on or off.
Several of the functions (SPEED COOL, QUICK FREEZE) are incompatible with others (HOLIDAY,...); remember that there is a pre-established order of priority which will help you to operate the product in the best possible way.
AIR *
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).
B 
A
AIR maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been opened. The blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).
ACTIVE OXYGEN *
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator; ozone is a natural substance which combats bacteria and microorganisms, reducing their proliferation while limiting unpleasant odours.
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging the freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing bacteria build-up.
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator.
The very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm, *Variesbynumberand/orposition,availableonlyoncertainmodels.
6
due to the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts is released; this is completely normal. The amount produced by the device is very small and abates quickly as the antibacterial action takes place.
Device is activated pressing the dedicated switch located in right side of the Oxigen device.
With the Active Oxigen switched on, the device will operate a repeted cycle until the key is pressed again. There will be an Ozone emission noticed by the switching on of the green led located on the Active Oxigen device located in the fridge compartment and a stand-by cicle (without zone emission) noticed by blue light.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
•Adjust the temperature using the display.
•Activate the SPEED COOL function to lower the temperature quickly, for example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge and the internal temperature rises slightly. This function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
•Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
•Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
•Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
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.
FOOD CARE ZONE *
Area dedicated to the storage of fresh food, such as meat and fish. Thanks to the low temperature inside the compartment, the Food Care Zone extends the period of time for which the food can be stored, keeping it fresh for up to a week.
FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C / Safe Defrost*:
In the “FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C” compartment there are lower temperatures than in the fridge. Temperatures can go below 0°C. This compartment is the ideal spot to store meat and fish. You can also store milk, dairy products, fresh pasta, cooked food or leftovers.
This compartment is also suitable to defrost foods in a healthy way, because the defrosting process at low temperatures inhibits the micro organisms proliferation.
This compartment is not suitable for vegetables, salad and salads.
*Variesbynumberand/orposition,availableonlyoncertainmodels.
The 0°C can be obtained in normal conditions and when the GB fridge compartment is set to 4° and the freezer is set to -18° C. When you decrease the fridge temperature you also decrease
the temperature of the “FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C” compartment.
FRESH BOX *
This is the new container, designed to keep various foods (such as cheese and cold meats) fresher for longer. If it is not needed, it can easily be removed from the refrigerator compartment. If there is a Bottle Shelf, more internal space can be created by placing the Fresh Box directly inside it.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in
the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).
2.If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has been stabilised.
3.Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.
LED *
Thanks to the powerful light it emits, the new LED lighting system offers a clear view of all foods, with no shadowy areas. If the LED needs to be replaced, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Using the freezer to its full potential
•Adjust the temperature using the display.
•Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
•To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate the QUICK FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER FREEZE function again; it will be deactivated automatically after 24 hours.
•Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within
24 hours).
•Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.
7
GB • 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).
!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.
!To maximise space inside the freezer, all drawers can be removed from their positions and the food placed directly on the racks/glass shelves supplied [where present].
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
1.Press the ON/OFF button to switch off the appliance. 2.Pull the plug out of the socket.
! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal operation, hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds. To disconnect the appliance, follow points 1 and 2 above.
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.
•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.
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.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily.
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.
This appliance complies with the following Community Directives:
-73/23/EECof19/02/73(LowVoltage)andsubsequentamendments; -89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
-2002/96/CE.
General safety
•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.

Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range indicated on the cover.
Disposal
•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
*Variesbynumberand/orposition,availableonlyoncertainmodels.
8
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. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
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.
•Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.
•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.
•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.
Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.
