Installation

! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance.

! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning

1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidityfree room.

2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly and save energy.

3. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

Electrical connections

After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following:

 The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant

with the law.

 The socket can withstand the maximum power of the

appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).

 The voltage must be in the range between the

values indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e.g. 220-240V).

 The socket is compatible with the plug of the

appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

! The cable must not be bent or compressed. ! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced

by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions (see Installation).

! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.

1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal light illuminates.

2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. 1 = warmest 5 = coldest We recommend, however, a medium position. The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the compressor is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is functioning normally. If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will occur automatically). In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food should be stored as follows:

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

 Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to

adjust the temperature (see Description).

 Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the

compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).

 Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than

raw foods.

 Do not store liquids in open containers. They will

increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

SHELVES: with or without grill.

TEMPERATURE Indicator light area in the refrigerator.

1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).

2. If the word OK does not appear it means that the temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has been stabilised.

3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.

Available only on certain models.

Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf.

Food hygiene

1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your refrigerator.

Using the freezer to its full potential

 Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has

already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).

2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact between them, thereby removing both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge.

3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate freely between different items.

4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use oxidiser or abrasive products.

5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator.

6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated.

 Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come

into contact with food that has already been defrosted.

 Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids,

and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.

 The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen

daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/ 24h: 4)

! Do not open the door during freezing.

! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open

the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on contact.

(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical

Cleaning the appliance

 The external and internal parts, as well as the

rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.

 The removable accessories may be soaked in

warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.

Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

 The appliance is manufactured with hygienic

materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly.

 If you want to switch the appliance off for an

extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.

Defrosting the appliance

! Follow the instructions below. Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond repair.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually:

1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position

2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place.

3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment.

4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before switching the appliance on again.

Replacing the light bulb

To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below.

Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range indicated on the cover (10W or 15W).

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a

special discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily.

Precautions and tips

! The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

This appliance complies with the following Community Directives:

- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments;

-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;

- 2002/96/CE..

General safety

 The appliance was designed for domestic use inside

the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

 The appliance must be used to store and freeze food

products by adults only and according to the instructions in this manual.

 The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in

covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms.

 Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or

moist hands and feet.

 Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could

cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

 When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug

from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

 Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the

appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on contact.

 In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances

should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.

 Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical

equipment - other than the type recommended by the manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage compartments.

 Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into

your mouth.

 This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

 Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It

can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical

Disposal

 Observe local environmental standards when

disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.

 The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct

disposal of their old appliance.

Respecting and conserving the environment

 Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated

room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near heat sources.

 Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods

or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.

 Do not fill the appliance with too much food:

cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work continuously.

 Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator.

The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy.

 Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see

Maintenance). A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult and results in increased energy consumption.

 Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to

ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance).

Mise en marche et utilisation

Mise en service de lappareil

! Avant de mettre lappareil en service, suivez bien les instructions sur linstallation (voir Installation). ! Avant de brancher votre appareil, nettoyez bien les compartiments et les accessoires à leau tiède additionnée de bicarbonate.

1. Branchez la fiche dans la prise de courant et assurez-vous que léclairage intérieur sallume.

2. Amenez le bouton de REGLAGE DE LA TEMPERATURE sur une valeur intermédiaire. Au bout de quelques heures, vous pourrez commencer à stocker des aliments dans le réfrigérateur.

Réglage de la température

Le réglage de la température à lintérieur du compartiment réfrigérateur est automatique en fonction de la position du bouton du thermostat. 1 = moins froid 5 = plus froid Nous conseillons toutefois une position intermédiaire Pour augmenter la place disponible, simplifier le rangement et améliorer laspect esthétique, cet appareil loge sa partie refroidissante à lintérieur de la paroi arrière du compartiment réfrigérateur. Pendant le fonctionnement de lappareil, cette paroi est tour à tour couverte de givre ou de gouttelettes deau selon que le compresseur est en marche ou à larrêt. Ne vous inquiétez pas ! Votre réfrigérateur fonctionne normalement. Si vous amenez le bouton de REGLAGE DE LA TEMPERATURE sur des valeurs plus élevées, que vous stockez de grandes quantités daliments et que la température ambiante est élevée, votre appareil peut fonctionner de façon continue, ce qui entraîne une formation abondante de givre et une consommation délectricité excessive : amenez alors le bouton sur des valeurs plus basses (un dégivrage automatique sera lancé). A lintérieur des appareils statiques lair circule de façon naturelle : lair plus froid a tendance à descendre car il est plus lourd. Quelques exemples de rangement des aliments:
