Installation
GB
! Before operating your new appliance, please read these
operating instructions carefully. They contain important
information for safe use, installation and 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 far away from any sources of
heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
Electrical connections
After transportation of the appliance, 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.

Start-up and use
GB
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.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
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.
A.I.R. SYSTEM (Ariston Integrated Refrigeration)
SHELVES: with or without grill.
1
2
BOTTLE RACK/ CAN RACK flap door: to store a bottle
or several cans horizontally (see diagram). When not in
use, close the flap door to increase the space in the
refrigerator compartment.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light: to identify the coldest
area in the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light
(see diagram).
Due to the special guides the
shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable (seediagram), allowing easy storage
of large containers and food.
Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
B
A
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (seediagram). The A.I.R. System maintains a constant fridge
temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will
quickly restore the temperature to the correct level, even if
the door is opened frequently: 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).
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).
B
B
A
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.
4
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.
The top salad crispers, which are colder than the
bottom one, are more suited to the preservation of
delicate fruits and vegetables such as: grapes,
strawberries, figs, cherries, fruits of the forest,
mushrooms, asparagus, red tomatoes, artichokes etc.;
whereas the bottom crisper is ideal for storing
pineapples, avocados, citrons, lemons etc.
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.
Fresh food must be stored above the grill in the freezer
compartment and if possible be in direct contact with
the walls (side and rear), where the temperature drops
below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
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
GB
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
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
on
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.
It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that
the water can flow out easily.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to
defrost manually:
1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the
position
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.
6. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal
storage conditions have been restored, before placing
food in the freezer compartment.
.
4. Certain appliances are
fitted with the DRAIN
SYSTEM to lead the water
outside: let the water flow
into a container (seediagram).
5. Clean and dry the
freezer compartment
carefully before switching
the appliance on again.
Defrosting the appliance
! Follow the instructions below.
Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost
the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration
circuit beyond repair.
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 (seediagram) where the heat
produced by the
compressor causes it to
evaporate.
6
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).
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/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and
subsequent amendments;
-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.
Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or
moist hands and feet.
Do not touch the internal cooling elements:this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
Disposal
GB
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 may take their old appliance to public
waste collection areas, other communal collection
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a
retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are active
in the creation of systems to manage the collection
and disposal of old appliances.
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.
When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the
appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It
is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
on
In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause
injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.
Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical
equipment - other than the type recommended by the
manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage
compartments.
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.
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.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping (see Maintenance).
