Safety - a good habit to get into.

ATTENTION

Read your manual caref ully since it contains instructions, which will ensur e safe installation, use and maintenance of your appliance.

Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards (EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark (IMQ) for conformity with UK electrical safety requirements. It al so meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of readio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).

1.This appliance is designed to be used indoors and under no circumstances should it be installed outside even if protected by a roof. Leaving the appliance exposed to the rain and whether is exceedi ngly dangerous.

2.The appliance should be used only by adults and exclusively for storing foodstuffs in compliance with the instructions provided in this manual. Under no circumstances should children be allowed to operate, or tamper with, this product.

3.Do not attempt to operate or handle this appliance when barefoot, or with wet hands or feet.

4.It is highly recommended that you do not operate this appliance by connecting it to the power supply with extensions or multiple socket plugs. If the refrigerator has been installed between two cabinets, make sure that the supply cord is not dangerously crimped or trapped beneath a heavy object.

5.Never pull the cable or the appliance to remove the plug from the socket; this is exceedingly dangerous.

6.Do not touch the internal cooling elements, especially if your hands are wet, since you could burn or hurt yourself.

7.Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home); it is not sufficient to pl ace the

temperature regulation knob “” to cut off the power.

8.Before disposing of your old appliance, remember to break or remove the lock as a safety measure to protect children who might lock themselves inside the appliance when playing. In addition, if the appliance is a new on e with a lock, keep the key ou t of the reach of smal l children.

9.If your appliance is n ot operating properl y, read the chapter entitled, “Troubl e Shooting”, which mi ght help you to resolve the problem, befor e calling an after-sales service center. Do not attempt to repair the appl iance by tampering with the internal components.

10.If the power supply cord must be replaced, please contact one of our Customer Service Centers. In som e cases, the connections are made usi ng special terminals and in others a special tool must be used to access the connections.

11.Do not use electric appl iances inside the compartment for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the manufacturer.

12.At the end of the functional life of your appliance – containing cyclopentan e gas in the insulation foam and gas R134a (tetraphtorethane) in the refrigeration circuit – the latter should made safe before being sent to the dump. For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local Organisation in charge of waste disposal.

Installation

Proper installation of the appliance is essential to

ensure the best and most efficient performance of

your appliance.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventil ated properly. Rooms with less than perfect ventilation are not very sui ted for installation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be i n- stalled in a room with

an opening (window or French window) that provides the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important that the room should not be too humid.

During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the grates that allow proper ventilation of the appliance. For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave:

-a space of at least 1 0 cm between the top part and any cabinets above it;

-a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is

directly exposed to sunli ght or near an oven, cook top or the like.

Levelling

The floor should be perfectly levelled; if not, you can adjust the feet at the front of the appliance.

Earthing

Before making the electrical connection, check th at the voltage shown on the data pl ate, that you will find on the bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper, corresponds to that of your mains and that the sock et is earthed in conformity with all current electrical regulations. If the system is not earthed, the manufacturer declines al l liability for consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or multiple sockets.

Check the power load

The electrical socket m ust support the maxi mum power load of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom left hand side of the ap pliance next to the cr isper).

Before plugging the appliance to the mains

Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours b efore plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper performance.

How to use the refrigerator compartment ...

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance

1 = less cold

5 = colder

It is recommended that a medium setting be used .

To increase the amoun t of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compartment.

When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on

whether the compressor is operating or not at a set time. Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operating normally.

If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and th e ambient temperature is high, the appliance may run con tinuously, resulting in the forma tion of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an incr ease in energy consumption.

To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically.

What Should Not be Stored in the Refrigerator

Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks.

Bananas (they will turn black).

Citrus fruits.

Potatoes and root vege tables (store in dark, dry places).

-Within the refrigerator com partment, the air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling down because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above the vegetable container.

-Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remai n edible for any extended amount of time.

-Do not place liquids in containers without covering them because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.

-Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the temperature inside the appliance will i ncrease, causing the compressor to work harder and use more energy.

-Contrary to popular bel ief, cooked foods are no t stored any longer than raw food.

-The refrigerator com partment is equipped with convenient, removable shelves, which can be adjusted for height using the shelf guides. This al lows you to place even

large containers and fo odstuffs in the refri gerator.

- Be careful not to place con tainers (plastic or glass), food or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, in-crease energy consumptio n and facilitate the formati on of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).

How to use the freezer compartment ...

For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-

sult a specialized manual.

-Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again.

-When freezing fresh f oods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top com-

partment where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properl y. Remember that proper conservation depends on the speed of freezing.

-During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer.

-Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data

plate situated inside th e refrigerator compar tment.

-For the best conservati on and defrosting, remember to freeze small portions; this will ensure rapi d and uniform freezing. Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was frozen.

-In the case of power failure or breakdown, d o not

open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 17 hours.

- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase in volume when frozen).

-If the room temperatur e remains below 14°C for an extended period of time the freezer will not reach the temperatures required for storage, and storage life will be shorter. In this case, frozen foodstuffs should be used within a relatively short period of time.

In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recommended that you divide food into small portions so that they freeze quickly an d uniformly. The pack ages should be clearly marked with the content and the date th ey were frozen.

If it is required to store a large quantity of foodstuff, you may easily take out central drawer, and place th e food directly onto the evaporator plate. Make sure that, after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly.
