Installation

! Before placing your new appliance into operation GB 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. 220-240V).

•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.

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.

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.

* Available only on certain models.

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.

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.

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:

	)RRG	$UUDQJHPHQW LQVLGH WKH
		UHIULJHUDWRU
	Fresh fish and meat	Above the fruit and vegetable
		bins
	Fresh cheese	Above the fruit and vegetable
		bins
	Cooked food	On any shelf
	Salami, bread loaf,	On any shelf
	chocolate
	Fruit and vegetables	In the fruit and vegetable bins
	Eggs	On the shelf provided
	Butter and margarine	On the shelf provided
	Bottles, drinks, milk	On the shelf provided

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

GB

•Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the temperature (see Description).

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

GB

•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.
