ATTENTION

Read your manual carefully since it contains instruc-

tions, which will ensure safe installation, use and main-

tenance of your appliance.

Your Refrigerator is built to International safety stan-

dards (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 dan-

gerous.

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 circum-

stances 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 refrigera-

tor 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 exc eedingly danger-

ous.

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 pla ying. In a ddition, 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”, whic h might help you to

resolve the problem, before calling an after-sales service

center. Do not attempt to repair the appliance by tamper-

ing with the internal components.

10.

If the power supply cord must be replaced, please con-

tact one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases,

the connections are mad e using special terminals and in

others a special tool must be used to access the co nnec-

tions.

11.

Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment

for food storage, if these are not those reco mmended 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 Loca l Or-

ganisation in charge of waste disposal.

Proper installation of the appliance is essential to

ensure the best and most efficient performa nce 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 in-

stallation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be in-

stalled in a room with

an opening (window or French window) tha t 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 appli-

ance. 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 o f the app liance.

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 li-

ability 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 d ata 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 m ains to ensure proper per-

formance.

Safety - a good habit to get into.

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 guar-

antee that it operates prorerly.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrige rator or freezer,

clea n 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.

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature

inside the appliance

1

= less cold

5

= colder

It is recom mended 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

whether the compressor is operating or not at a set time.

Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is

operating norm ally.

If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings

while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tem-

perature is high, the appliance may run continuously, re-

sulting 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 auto-

matically.

Storing food in the Refrigerator C ompartment

Food

Storage time

Location in the Refrigerator

Fresh meat and cleaned fish

(use plastic wrap or pack in plastic bags)

2 or 3 days “Fresh box”

Fresh cheese 3 or 4 days “Fresh box”

Eggs 1 month In special egg tray on any shelf

Butter, margarine 1 week On any shelf

Cooked or precooked food (placer in air-tight contain-

ers and when cool store in refrigerator)

3 or 4 days On any shelf

Sausages, salami, sandwich meats in general, fresh

pasta, custards, puddings, chocolates, cream pastries,

bread, dry pastries, red tomatoes

3 or 4 days On any shelf

Bottled products, milk, drinks, yoghurt On special door shelves

Fruit and vegetable - In vegetable crisper

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

na turally, 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 maxim um stor-

age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edi-

ble 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 mois-

ture within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.

- Reme mber to coo l 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 co nven-

ient, removable shelves, which can be adjusted for

height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place eve n

large containers and foo dstuffs 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 cham-

ber (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 me lon and Parma ham, figs and ham, mozzarella and

tomatoes.

Besides this compartment can be moved at the desir-

able height in the low part of the refrigerator chamber.

How to use the refrigerator compartment ...

ce 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 provide d).

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 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 situa ted 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 con-

tents 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 tem-

perature inside the freezer ensuring that foods are con-

served for at least 17 hours.

- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could

explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids in-

crease in volume when frozen).

-If the room temperature remains below 14°C for an ex-

tended period of time the freezer will not rea ch the tem-

peratures 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 rec-

ommended that you divide food into small portions so that

they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packa ges should be

clea rly 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 in-

serted the load, the door closes correctly.

Super Mode:

this mode assures continuous compressor op-

eration up to achievem ent 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 door-

plate/ 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 “

Su-

per

” 24 hours before produce laying. Put the produce in the

evaporator/freezing section (* ***) and switch off mode of

operation “

Super

” in 24 hours.

To remove the container from they housing, push the

container upwards and then pull it out. To put the con-

tainer back in place, insert the top part into the special

housing and, once in a vertical p osition, 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 ex-

ceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will le ad 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 con-

tainer 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 con-

nected 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 wa-

ter, make sure that the same is completely empty and that

there are no traces of ice left inside it.

The minim um time required for ice to form well is approxi-

mately 8 hours.
