which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of
your appliance.
Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards
(EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark
(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.
It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).
1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in
an area protected by a roof. It is extremely danger ous to leave
it exposed to rain or storms.
2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate
and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use contained in this manual.
3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or
with wet hands or feet.
4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension
cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed
between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or dangerously pinched or compressed.
5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the
plug from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.
6. Never touch the cooling components within the appliance,
especially with wet hands because this could result in injury.
Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your
mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause burns.
7. Never clean or perform maintenance on the appliance
without first removing the plug from the socket; in fact,
turning the knob for adjusting the temperature to the "0"·
setting is not sufficient to eliminate all electrical contact with
the mains.
8. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal,
remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent children who might play in or around the appliance from being
locked inside.
9. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of malfunction, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem? to determine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem. do not
try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal components of the appliance.
10. If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance
must necessarily be replaced by our service centre because
special tools are required for replacement.
11. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for
food storage, if these are not those recommended by the
manufacturer.
12. At the end of the functional life of your appliance –
containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and perhaps
gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit – the latter
should made safe before being sent to the dump.
For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local
Organisation in charge of waste disposal.
Installation
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the
appliance is installed correctly .
V entilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than
perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the
appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with
an opening (window or French window) that provide the
appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important
that the room not be too humid.
Away from Heat
This appliance should not be positioned in a place where it is
directly exposed to sunlight or directly next to an iven/hob.
Electrical Connection and Earthing
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure
that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the
bottom left near the vegetable crisper, corresponds to the
mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted
with a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety
standards for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with
an earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be held liability
for any damages and or injuries arising out of the use of the
appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access
the socket where it is plugged in.
Insufficient power?
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable
crisper.
Before making the electrical connection ...
After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions properly .

How to Start the Appliance
NOTICE
After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the
upright position and wait approximately 3 hours before connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee
that it operates properly.
Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or fr eezer , clean
the interior well with warm water and baking soda.
After having plugged the appliance into the socket, make
sure that the refrigerator light has turned on. Then turn the
thermostat knob “J” to setting “3”. After a few hours have
passed, you can place fresh food in the refrigerator compartment and frozen foods into the freezer.
How to use the refrigerator compartment...
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance
1 = less cold 5 = colder
It is recommended that a medium setting be used.
To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and
improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compartment.
When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered
with frost or droplets of water depending on whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time. Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operating normally.
If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while
the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature
high, the appliance may run continuously , resulting in the for mation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an
increase in energy consumption.
To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a
lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically .
The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is equipped with
A.I.R. System (Ariston Integrated Refrigeration) which allows
an optimal food storage while simplifying the use of the refrigerator
thanks to the following features:
- Fast temperature reset: after the doors heve been opened,
the internal temperatures return to optimal values faster,
improving food storage.
- More uniform temperature distribution: this makes it possible
to place any type of food on any shelf.
- Higher humidity level: this allows you to store food longer.
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with practical slideout shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for height using the
appropriate guides. This feature allows you to store large containers and food products.
Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the compressor to work harder and use more energy.
Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in the
refrigerator.
Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or
other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the
back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, increase energy consumption and facilitate the formation of
condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
T o use the meat/cheese box, unhook it and remove it fr om the
shelf. To optimise space according to your needs, the same
can be moved laterally (Fig. 2).
The side bottle rack can be used either for storing bottles (Fig.
3) as well as several cans (2-4) placed horizontally (Fig. 4). If
not in use, the bottle/can rack can be tipped up and away to
make more room inside the refrigerator.

Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of
foods: If not stored properly , even the fr eshest food will deteriorate quite quickly.
Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer
than fresh food.

How to use the freezer compartment...
- For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual.
- Food that has been thawed, even partially , must not be refrozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24
hours) or to freeze it once again.
- Fresh foods that you intend to freeze must not be placed
in contact with those that are already frozen or those that
have been fast-frozen. Rather, they must be placed on the
grid in the freezer compartment, in contact with the walls
of the compartment (back or side) if possible. Please keep in
mind that proper conservation of frozen foods depends on
the speed with which they are frozen.
- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the
freezer .
- The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is
indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the vegetable crisper.
- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recommended that you divide food into small portions so that
they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be
clearly marked with the content and the date they were
frozen.
- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power
failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in
temperature within the compartment. If the door is not
opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their
current state for approximately 9-14 hours.
- Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.
- If the ambient temperature remains below 14°C for an
extended period of time, the temperature needed for extended storage of food in the freezer will not be reached,
resulting in reduced storage life of the food.
Ice trays
This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent.
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer
drawers ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness and
leaves more room free inside the drawers : 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).
Instructions for use (Fig. 5)
Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level
indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed
it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the
formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice
cubes.
If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will
have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray
and re-fill it with water.
Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the
hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. Thanks to the connected
compartments, the water fills up the special shapes, after
which you can cover the hole up with the special cap and
place the ice tray in the inner door of the freezer
compartment.
Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the
tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away
from their housing and come out of the same hole used to
fill the tray with water . T o make it easier for the ice cubes to
come out, wet the outside of the tray.
WARNING: every time you fill up the ice tray with water ,
make sure that the same is completely empty and that there
are no traces of ice left inside it.
The minimum time required for ice to form well is
approximately 8 hours.
