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. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part
of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at
least 5 cm between the sides and any furniture/side
walls.

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

5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the
appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers
supplied in the installation kit, following the
instructions provided.

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

authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

The fact that they are situated on the top part of the
freezer drawers ensures greater 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 provided).

1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.
Check that the tray is completely empty and fill it
with water through the opening provided.

2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes
from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to
melt and empty the tray).

3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments

when optimal temperatures have been reached
(indicator light goes out);

- for large quantities which are greater than the
maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold down
the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the
corresponding indicator light begins to flash. After 24
hours the indicator light stops flashing and remains on
constantly. Place the food inside the freezer and close
the door. After another 24 hours, the function will be
disabled automatically (indicator light goes out).

• 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.

• 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.

! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer, it

is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food
or containers.

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 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.

• 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 OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical 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.

• 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.

• 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 if ice forms (
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 (

).

• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
