Safety - a good habit to get into.
ATTENTION
Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions, which will ensure 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 also 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 exceedingly 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 place 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 one with a lock, keep the key out of the reach of small children.
9.If your appliance is not operating properly, read the chapter entitled, “Trouble Shooting”, which might help you to resolve the problem, before calling an after-sales service center. Do not attempt to repair the appliance by tampering with the internal components.
10.If the power supply cord must be replaced, please contact one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases, the connections are made using special terminals and in others a special tool must be used to access the connections.
11.Do not use electric appliances 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 cyclopentane 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 ventilated properly. Rooms with less than perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be installed 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 10 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 sunlight 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 that the voltage shown on the data plate, 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 socket is earthed in conformity with all current electrical regulations. If the system is not earthed, the manufacturer declines all liability for consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or multiple sockets.
Check the power load
The electrical socket must support the maximum power load of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper).
Before plugging the appliance to the mains
Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper performance.

How to Start the Appliance
NOTICE
After the appliance has been delivered,stand it in the upright position and wait approximately 3 hours before connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee that it operates prorerly.
Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda.
After having plugged the appliance in, make sure that pilot lamp “A” is light.
Set knob ‘B’ onto a medium position and can place food in the fridge after only a few hours.
When the freezer has reached the optimum temperature, you can place frozen food in the freezer.
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 amount 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
Storing food in the Refrigerator Compartment
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 the ambient temperature is high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an increase 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 vegetables (store in dark, dry places).
-Within the refrigerator compartment, 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 remain 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 increase, causing the compressor to work harder and use more energy.
-Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods are not stored any longer than raw food.
-The refrigerator compartment is equipped with convenient, removable shelves, which can be adjusted for height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator.
- Be careful not to place containers (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 consumption and facilitate the formation of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
“Fresh box” (Important! Inset till it touches rear wall) with the temperature range from -2 C till +3 C is made for the products which should be kept under the temperature which is bellow the temperature in the refrigerator chamber (e.g. ham, sausage).
This compartment was designed to allow for longer preservation times for fresh meat and fish (for as long as a two or three days).
Moreover, the “Fresh box” compartment can also be used to cool dishes that are normally eaten “cold”, such as melon and Parma ham, figs and ham, mozzarella and tomatoes.
Besides this compartment can be moved at the desirable height in the low part of the refrigerator chamber.

How to use the freezer compartment ...
For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult 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 foods, 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 properly. 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 the refrigerator compartment.
-For the best conservation and defrosting, remember to freeze small portions; this will ensure rapid 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, do 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 temperature 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 and uniformly. The packages should be clearly marked with the content and the date they were frozen.
If it is required to store a large quantity of foodstuff, you may easily take out central drawer, and place the food directly onto the evaporator plate. Make sure that, after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly.
Super Mode: this mode assures continuous compressor operation up to achievement of low temperatures, necessary for quick food freezing. After food freezing, the appliance should be switched over to a normal operation mode.
In order to frost some quantity of fresh produce/food (no more than half of the maximum pointed out on the doorplate/ name board inside your refrigerator), put the produce in the evaporator/freezing section (* ***) and switch on mode of operation “Super” for 24 hours.
In order to frost maximum (for your refrigerator) quantity of fresh produce you should switch on mode of operation “Super” 24 hours before produce laying. Put the produce in the evaporator/freezing section (* ***) and switch off mode of operation “Super” in 24 hours.
Ice container
This new concept of ice container is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the inner door of the freezer compartment ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided).
To remove the container from they housing, push the container upwards and then pull it out. To put the container back in place, insert the top part into the special housing and, once in a vertical position, just let it drop into place.

Instructions for use
Fill up the container with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes. If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the container and re-fill it with water.
Once you have filled the ice container up with water through the hole indicated, turn it by 90º. Thanks to the connected compartments, the water fills up with the special cap and places the ice container in the inner door of the freezer compartment.
Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the container against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away from their housing and come out of the same hole used to fill the container with water. To make it easier for the ice cubes to come out, wet the outside of the container. WARNING: every time you fill up the ice container with water, make sure that the same is completely empty and that there are no traces of ice left inside it.
The minimum time required for ice to form well is approximately 8 hours.
