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. 220-240V).

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions (

! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.

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.

see Installation

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. 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. 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:

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the temperature (

• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (

tips

• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.

• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

Food hygiene

1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your refrigerator.

2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact between them, thereby removing both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge.

3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate freely between different items.

4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use oxidiser or abrasive products.

5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator.

6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated.

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.

• 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)

! 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

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 on contact.

(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical

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.

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 (

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 appliance

! Follow the instructions below. Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any devices or tools other than the scraper provided, you may damage the refrigeration circuit.

2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place.

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.

4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before switching the appliance on again.

Replacing the light bulb

To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below.

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 (15W or 25W).

• Do not use devices or tools other than the special scraper provided inside the compartments.

(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical

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 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 ( A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult and results in increased energy consumption.

see Maintenance

• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into your mouth.

• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance. Under no circumstance should they be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the door.

• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (

Mise en service de lappareil

! Avant de mettre lappareil en service, suivez bien les instructions sur l’installation (

! Avant de brancher votre appareil, nettoyez bien les compartiments et les accessoires à l’eau tiède additionnée de bicarbonate.

1. Branchez la fiche dans la prise de courant et assurez-vous que l’éclairage intérieur s’allume.

2. Amenez le bouton de REGLAGE DE LA TEMPERATURE sur une valeur intermédiaire. Au bout de quelques heures, vous pourrez commencer à stocker des aliments dans le réfrigérateur.

voir Installation

Réglage de la température

Le réglage de la température à l’intérieur du compartiment réfrigérateur est automatique en fonction de la position du bouton du thermostat.

1 = moins froid 5 = plus froid

Nous conseillons toutefois une position intermédiaire Pour augmenter la place disponible, simplifier le rangement et améliorer l’aspect esthétique, cet appareil loge sa “partie refroidissante” à l’intérieur de la paroi arrière du compartiment réfrigérateur. Pendant le fonctionnement de l’appareil, cette paroi est tour à tour couverte de givre ou de gouttelettes d’eau selon que le compresseur est en marche ou à l’arrêt. Ne vous inquiétez pas ! Votre réfrigérateur fonctionne normalement. Si vous amenez le bouton de REGLAGE DE LA TEMPERATURE sur des valeurs plus élevées, que vous stockez de grandes quantités d’aliments et que la température ambiante est élevée, votre appareil peut fonctionner de façon continue, ce qui entraîne une formation abondante de givre et une consommation d’électricité excessive : amenez alors le bouton sur des valeurs plus basses (un dégivrage automatique sera lancé). A l’intérieur des appareils statiques l’air circule de façon naturelle : l’air plus froid a tendance à descendre car il est plus lourd. Quelques exemples de rangement des aliments :

Pour profiter à plein de votre réfrigérateur

• Pour régler la température, utilisez le bouton de REGLAGE DE LA TEMPERATURE (

• N’introduisez que des aliments froids ou à peine tièdes, jamais chauds (

• Les aliments cuits contrairement à ce que l’on croit ne se conservent pas plus longuement que les aliments crus.

• N’introduisez pas de récipients non fermés contenant des liquides : ces derniers entraîneraient une augmentation de l’humidité et la formation d’eau condensée.

L'hygiène alimentaire

1. Après achat, les aliments doivent être débarrassés de leur emballage extérieur en papier/carton ou autre qui pourrait véhiculer des bactéries ou des saletés à l’intérieur du réfrigérateur.

2. Protégez les aliments (notamment ceux qui se détériorent rapidement et ceux qui dégagent une forte odeur ) pour éviter tout contact entre eux et éliminer ainsi toute possibilité de contamination de germes/bactéries et la diffusion d’odeurs particulières à l’intérieur du réfrigérateur.

3. Rangez les aliments de manière à ce que l’air puisse circuler librement entre eux.

4. Veillez à ce que l’intérieur du réfrigérateur soit toujours propre. Attention : ne pas utiliser de produits oxydants ou abrasifs pour son nettoyage.

5. Sortez les aliments du réfrigérateur dès qu’ils dépassent leur durée limite de conservation.

6. Pour une bonne conservation, les aliments facilement périssables (fromages à pâte molle, poisson cru, viande, etc.) doivent être placés dans la zone plus froide où est situé l’indicateur de température.

voir Précautions et conseils

voir Description

Pour profiter à plein de votre

congélateur

• Ne recongelez pas des aliments décongelés ou en cours de décongélation; il faut les faire cuire et les consommer (dans les 24 heures).

• Les aliments frais à congeler ne doivent pas être placés au contact d’aliments déjà congelés.

• Ne stockez pas dans votre congélateur des bouteilles en verre contenant des liquides, bouchées ou fermées hermétiquement, elles pourraient se briser.

• La quantité journalière maximale d’aliments pouvant être congelée est indiquée sur l’étiquette des caractéristiques, placée dans le compartiment réfrigérateur en bas à gauche (exemple : 4 Kg/24h).

! Evitez d’ouvrir la porte pendant la phase de congélation.

! En cas de coupure de courant ou de panne, n’ouvrez

pas la porte du congélateur : les produits surgelés et congelés se conserveront ainsi sans problème pendant 9

- 14 heures environ.

! Si la température ambiante se maintient longuement audessous de 14°C, le compartiment freezer n’arrive pas à atteindre les températures indispensables à une longue conservation et la période de conservation sera par conséquent réduite.
