Installation
GB
! Before operating your new appliance, please read
these operating instructions carefully. They contain
important information for safe use, installation and 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 humidity-free
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 far away from any sources of
heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
Electrical connections
After transportation of the appliance, 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.

Start-up and use
GB
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.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
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.
PURE WIND SYSTEM
It is recognizable due to the presence of the
mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator
compartment (see diagram).
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).
SHELVES: with or without grill.

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.
The top salad crispers, which are colder than the
bottom one, are more suited to the preservation of
delicate fruits and vegetables such as: grapes,
strawberries, figs, cherries, fruits of the forest,
mushrooms, asparagus, red tomatoes, artichokes
etc.; whereas the bottom crisper is ideal for storing
pineapples, avocados, citrons, lemons etc.
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.
B
A
The RURE WIND System maintains a constant fridge
temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will
quickly restore the temperature to the correct level,
even if the door is opened frequently: the blown air (A)
is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall,
whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).

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).
Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come
into contact with food that has already been
defrosted. Fresh food must be stored above the grill
in the freezer compartment and if possible be in
direct contact with the walls (side and rear), where
the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees
rapid freezing.
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.
GB
! 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
GB
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
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
on
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 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. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM
to lead the water outside: let the water flow into a
container (see diagram).
.
5. Clean and dry the
freezer compartment
carefully before switching
the appliance on again.
6. Wait for approximately
2 hours, i.e. until the ideal
storage conditions have
been restored, before
placing food in the freezer
compartment.
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 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.
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 (15W or 25W).

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.
Disposal
GB
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 may take their old appliance to public
waste collection areas, other communal collection
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a
retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are
active in the creation of systems to manage the
collection and disposal of old appliances.
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
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
on
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.
Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play
with the appliance. Under no circumstance should they
be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the door.
Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
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).
