This section details the main safety warnings.
Read it carefully before installing and using the equipment.
• Always keep the instruction manual and, if you sell the equipment, hand it over to the new
owner.
• This equipment must not be installed outdoors, not even under the cover of roofing; it is
extremely dangerous to expose it to rain, storms and bad weather in general.
• We recommend waiting at least an hour before connecting the equipment so that the oil in the
cooling circuit is perfectly efficient.
• The equipment must be used exclusively for domestic preservation and/or freezing of food. Packaging materials such as plastic bags, polystyrene, plastic tape must be kept out of reach of
children as they are potential sources of danger.
• Do not allow children to play with the equipment, e.g. sitting in the drawers or swinging on the
door. The freezer could tip over or objects on top might fall off.
• Do not use the moldings, drawers, doors or grids to stand on.
• Be careful not to damage the cooling fluid circuit during positioning, installation or cleaning.
Having installed the equipment make sure it's not resting on the power cable.
• It is not advisable to use extensions or multiple plugs for connecting to the power supply.
• Never touch or operate with bare feet or wet hands or feet.
• Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment at the
power outlet or switch off your entire power system.
• Each grid or basket can take a maximum distributed load of 18 kg.
• To disconnect the equipment from the mains supply, remove the plug but don't do this by
pulling the cable.
• Don't put glass bottles or other containers in the freezer compartment as they might crack or
break when the contents are frozen.
• Avoid flames or sparks inside the equipment.
• Do not consume food of which the storage deadline has expired, as this may cause food
poisoning. - Do not obstruct the equipment's ventilation openings/grills.
• During defrosting, never use metallic objects to accelerate the process. Failure to observe this
rule could cause irreparable damage to the cooling fluid circuit.
• Do not use electrical appliances (ice-cream makers, deodorizers, etc.) inside the equipment.
Any maintenance, including replacement of the power cable, must be done by the
technical assistance service or other qualified personnel. To ignore this rule is to run a

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
This equipment was designed and built with the maximum respect for the environment.
To guarantee the same scrupulosity when it's disposed of (given the presence of pollutant or
inflammable materials, e.g. lubricant in the compressor), never abandon the equipment
outside. Contact the local authority responsible for collection and disposal.
Don't throw the packaging material from your equipment in the rubbish but sort the various
materials (e.g. polystyrene, cardboard, plastic bags) as required by local waste disposal authorities
in pursuance of current legislation.
This equipment does not contain CFCs (the cooling circuit contains R134a) or HFC’s (the cooling
circuit contains R600a - ISOBUTANE).
To check what gas is used, see the technical data plate on the equipment.
For equipment with ISOBUTANE (R600a)
Isobutene is a natural gas that doesn't affect the environment, but it is inflammable.
It is therefore indispensable to check that the cooling circuit tubing is not damaged before
connecting the equipment to the mains.
• For every 8 g of cooling fluid, the installation location must have a minimum volume of 1 cubic
meter. The amount of cooling fluid in the appliance is indicated on the technical data plate
inside the freezer.
• Leakage of cooling fluid: avoid naked flames or other sources of ignition at the seat of the
leakage.

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 15watts.
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.

C210L C210_46 user manual.doc
CAUTION: Do not place glass containers with liquids in the deep-freeze compartment or
hot foods in the refrigerator compartment.
Foodstuffs that tend to absorb odors and tastes, liquids and foods with high alcoholic proof, must
be stored in airtight containers and stood upright.
ICE CUBE PRODUCTION
Only per freezers and appliances with a deep-freeze compartment.
Fill the special pans three quarters with water and place them in the compartment.
Should the pans stick on the bottom of the compartment as they freeze, do not try to remove them
with sharp or pointed objects, they might damage the appliance, instead use a spoon handle.
CAUTION: Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies (Popsicles) straight after removing them as
they might cause frozen burns.
FREEZING GUIDELINES
Only for appliances fitted with a fast freeze button.
• Prevent the foods you wish to freeze from contacting any pre-frozen items.
• Always insert dry packages to stop many packages from freezing together into a single block.
• Always split foods into portions so they can be quickly frosted.
• To freeze the maximum amount of foodstuffs shown on the specification plate, follow the
guidelines below.
• Press the quick freeze button 24 hours before freezing.
• Use the upper shelves, for quick freezing; never freeze foods in the last drawer.
• Freeze packaged foods without using sliding drawers, place them directly on the wire cooling
shelves and then, once they are frozen, put them in the sliding drawers.
• Disable the quick freeze button 26 hours after freezing started. The yellow superfrost light will
switch off and the appliance will resume normal energy saving operation.
• Small amounts of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without pressing the quick freeze button and
with the drawer in place.
FREEZING GUIDELINES
Only for appliances without a quick freeze button.
• Prevent the foods you wish to freeze from contacting any pre-frozen items.
• Always insert dry packages to stop many packages from freezing together into a single block. -
Always split foods into portions so they can be quickly frosted.
• To freeze the maximum amount of foodstuffs shown on the specification plate follow the
guidelines below.
• Turn the thermostat knob to settings 4 to 5, 24 hours before freezing.
• Spread the foodstuffs on the top shelf (where provided) and do not open the door
unnecessarily. If required, open it only briefly.
• 26 hours after freezing started, turn the thermostat knob back to the required setting.
DEFROSTING OF THE APPLIANCE
If the refrigerator does not have a deep-freeze compartment, defrosting will occur automatically.
While defrosting water drops run down the rear wall of the unit. The water is conveyed along a
raceway and flows onto the tub located on the compressor where it evaporates.
If the refrigerator is equipped with a deep-freeze compartment, we suggest you periodically wipe
excess hoarfrost from the inside and/or wire cooling shelves (3/4mm) to minimize electricity
consumption.

C210L C210_46 user manual.doc
Never use sharp objects or metal tools, humidifiers, heaters, hair-dryers, antifreeze spray for this
operation. They might damage the refrigerating circuit irreparably and pose a hazard in appliances
operating with R600a.
Take the following steps to defrost:
• Unplug the appliance or switch off the main power switch
• Take foods out of the deep-freeze compartment
• Turn the thermostat to setting 0
• Wipe up the water produced by defrosting with a sponge or cloth
• Dry the walls and/or wire cooling shelves Plug in the appliance, turn the thermostat as
required (Refer to the paragraph entitled "Getting to know the appliance").
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Unplug the appliance before commencing any kind of maintenance.
To clean the inside of the appliance and accessories we suggest you use a water and vinegar
solution; never use abrasives, detergents or soap.
The shelves are attached to the sides of the door frame.
Clean periodically the water drain hole, located on the rear wall with a ramrod or a blunt stick.
Clean the door gasket with water and dry carefully.
If the appliance must be idle in the long term, unplug and empty it, clean the inside and leave the
door open (to prevent bad stenches).
WARNING
Under no circumstances should a steam cleaner ever be used for defrosting or cleaning.
Steam may damage live parts of the equipment and cause a short circuit or electric
shocks. Steam may damage plastic parts.
