CAUTION
This paragraph includes the main safety warnings.
Read them attentively, before installing and using the appliance.

• Always keep the instruction handbook. Should the appliance be sold, pass it on to
its new owner.

• The appliance must be used only for household cool storage and/or freezing of
foods.

• Packaging materials, such as plastic bags, polystyrene and plastic clasps, must
not be kept within children's reach, as they are potential sources of danger.

• Do not let children play with the appliance e.g. by sitting in the drawers, rocking
or clinging onto the door. The refrigerator might overturn, or some objects
placed on top might fall.

• Do not use the plinth, drawers, and doors, wire shelves as a footboard or
support.

• Take care not to damage the pipes of the cooling circuit while placing, installing
and cleaning the appliance.

• Make sure that no electric appliances or components are installed near the vents.
(E.g. fans, switches, power sockets etc.)

• After installing the appliance make sure that it does not stand on the power
cable.

• We suggest you do not use extension leads or multiple plugs to plug the
refrigerator to the mains (line).

• Before commencing any cleaning and maintenance jobs, unplug the appliance or
switch off the main power switch of the local power system.

• To unplug the appliance from the mains power supply, remove the plug without
pulling its power cable.

• Do not place liquids in glass containers in the deep-freeze compartment because
they might explode.

• Prevent all fires or sparks inside the appliance.

• Do not consume foodstuffs when their maximum storage date has expired, as

they might cause food poisoning.

• Do not block the vent slits or grilles required in the appliance or in the enclosing
cabinet.

• While defrosting never use metal objects to speed the defrost process. Failure to
heed this warning might lead to irreparable damage to the refrigerating circuit.

• Do not use electric appliances (such as ice cream machines, deodorizers etc)
inside the appliance.

• All maintenance, including replacing the power cable, must be carried out by the
technical support service. Otherwise the user might cause serious hazards.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

This appliance has been designed and manufactured to optimize environmental protection
measures. To ensure the same environmental friendliness when the appliance is dismantled,
as it contains some pollutants or flammable materials such as the compressor lubricating oil,

we suggest that you never dispose of the appliance haphazardly and contact
local authorized pickup and disposal specialists.

Do not throw the packaging of your appliance straight into the bin; sort the various
materials (e.g. polystyrene, cardboard, plastic bags) according to local waste disposal
guidelines and effective regulations.

This appliance is CFC-free (the refrigerating circuit contains R134a) or HFC-free (the
refrigerating circuit contains R600a -ISOBUTANE). To check the gas used refers to the
specification plate on the appliance.

For appliances with ISOBUTANE (R600a)
Isobutane is an environmentally friendly but flammable natural gas. Therefore, it is
indispensable to ensure that the refrigerating circuit tubes are not damaged, before
connecting the appliance to the mains power supply.

INSTALLATION

The appliance should be installed by two workers, so as not to injure people or damage
things.

If damage occurs while the appliance is being dispatched, advise the supplier immediately
before connecting it.

Read the climatic class of the appliance on the specification plate located on the inner left
side.

If: “SN” (works at ambient temperatures ranging) from +10°C to +32°C
If: “N” (works at ambient temperatures ranging) from +16°C to +32°C
If: “ST” (works at ambient temperatures ranging) from +18°C to +38°C
If: “T” (works at ambient temperatures ranging) from +18°C to +43°C.

Install the appliance in a dry and well-aired place, away from heat sources, such as
radiators, stoves, cookers, sunrays etc.

The appliance must be installed on stable and flat surface, by adjusting the feet, if any.

A gap of at least 20mm and 100mm must be left between the rear of the appliance and the
wall towards any wall-mounted units above the appliance.

Do not place on the refrigerator/freezer any heat-emitting appliances such as: microwave
ovens, toasters etc.

Should the refrigerator be enclosed, in the kitchen cabinet make sure airing gap A is at least
200 cm3, and the venting duct on the rear of the cabinet is at least 50mm deep, follow the
instructions in the figures about installation.

Make sure that no appliances or electric components are installed near the vents

CAUTION

Easy access must be provided to the appliance power socket so that it can be unplugged in
case of need. If this cannot be done, connect the appliance to the mains (line) via a
two-way switch with an opening contact of at least 3 mm, located in an accessible place.

ELECTRIC CONNECTION
The appliance must be by law plugged into a socket fitted with an earth (ground)
contact. Therefore the appliance is supplied with an earthed plug that must be
plugged into a compatible socket. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for
any injuries or damage caused by the non-compliance with this regulation.

Check the voltage shown on the specification plate located on the inner left side of the unit,
and make sure that it matches the mains voltage.

How to replace the internal lamp bulb

Remove the power plug or switch off the main power switch of the local electric system
before replacing the bulb. Use only bulbs with a power equal to the value given on the bulb
guard (e.g. max 15W).

GETTING TO KNOW THE APPLIANCE.

The refrigerator you have purchased, with model variations, is designed to store fresh foods
and, if supplied with a Deepfreeze compartment it can store frozen foods and freeze fresh
foods (see paragraph on freezing).

Temperature control.

The thermostat lets you regulate the temperature gradually.
Setting 0 means stopped appliance operation.
Setting 1 means minimum operation.

Setting 7 means maximum operation. Remember that thermostat regulations are sensitive
to variations owing to the ambient temperature, amount of stored food, location and how
often the doors are opened.

By experience you will learn the best regulation for your needs.

The space inside the refrigerator can be organized varyingly by moving the wire shelves and
solid shelves to suit your requirements. To move the shelves, lift the rear, pull them
forwards until the front slides out of the runners, turn them down and pull them out fully,
select the required position and insert the shelf by repeating the above steps in reverse
order.

FOOD STORAGE

In the refrigerator compartment the temperature varies from section to section.

The coldest sections are immediately above the fruit and vegetable drawers, next to the rear
wall.

In the deep-freeze compartment where temperatures reach -18°C frozen foods can be
stored for several months. We suggest the thermostat be set to settings 4 to 5.

The storage time of frozen foods is usually indicated on the package.

If a product starts to defrost it must not under any circumstances be refrozen and must be
consumed as soon as possible.

Every drawer and every cooling plate can bear a maximum distributed load of 20 kg.

To optimize preservation of aromas, substance and freshness, we suggest food be wrapped
aluminum foil or polythene film, placed in special containers with lids.
