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

fridge thermostat knob.

min = warmest

max = coldest

We recommend, however, a medium position.

It is recognisable by aeration cells located on the back walls of the compartments.

The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking together and making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.

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.

removal of the shelf.

SHELVES: with or without grill. 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

FRESH BOX: for fresh meat and fish. Due to the compartment’s low temperature (the coldest in the refrigerator) and to the clear door that provides protection against oxidation and blackening, food can be stored for even up to one week. It can also be used for “cold meals.”

FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin

The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh and crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to store food in a less humid environment, or close it (position A) to store food in a more humid environment.

The easy-to-open lids (all you have to do is pull the crisper out) make it easy to put food in and take it out.

BEVERAGE CAN shelves.

The can rack on the inner door allows you to store not only cans, but also yoghurt, butter and other containers, according to your requirements.

off, including the refrigerator.

Set the thermostat to the maximum max in order to freeze foods quickly.

Set the thermostat to the medium med for normal use and to store frozen foods for long periods.

Set the thermostat to the minimum min in order to keep ice cubes frozen.

During hot seasons, when the knob is turned to max position, your fridge will operate for elongated period. The thermostat position should be brought to its initial position when the freezer compartment is cooled sufficiently.

•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 packed in the top FAST FREEZER compartment 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.

!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.

	ICE DEVICE
		GB
	After pouring water in the special
	ice cups, place them in their
	places in the ice device. After
	about 2 hours, the ice cubes will
	be ready. In order to get the ice
	cubes, it will be sufficient to turn
	the two buttons to the right. The ice
	cubes will fall in to the tray below,
	ready to be used.

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 on(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.

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.

•The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance.

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 which may vary according to the model of the appliance.

Access the light bulb as shown (see diagram) and replace it with a similar light bulb, the power of which should not exceed 10 W.

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.

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(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 utensils other than the scraper provided, or electrical equipment which is not of the type specified 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.

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.

•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).

		Le No Frost gère un flux continu

d’air froid qui absorbe l’humidité et empêche la formation de glace et de givre: il maintient un niveau d’humidité adéquat à l’intérieur du compartiment réfrigérateur et, grâce à l’absence de givre, il préserve les qualités originaires des aliments; dans le compartiment congélateur il évite la formation de glace, il n’y a par conséquent plus besoin de dégivrer et les aliments ne collent plus entre eux. Ne placez pas d’aliments ou de récipients contre la paroi refroidissante arrière pour ne pas boucher les trous d’aération et éviter une formation rapide d’eau condensée. Fermez bien les bouteilles et emballez les aliments.

N’introduisez que des aliments froids ou à peine tièdes, jamais chauds (voir Précautions et conseils).

Les aliments cuits contrairement à ce que l’on croit ne se conservent pas plus longuement que les aliments crus.
