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 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.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the
refrigerator by tightening or loosening the rear feet.
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.
! The appliance comes with a motor protection control
system which makes the compressor start approximately
8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also
starts each time the power supply is cut off whether
voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
.
2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
green POWER indicator light illuminates.
3. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average
value and press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid
freezing): the SUPER FREEZE indicator light will
illuminate. Once the refrigerator has reached the
optimal temperature, the indicator light goes out and
you can begin food storage.
4. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION 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
No Frost
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.
Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust
the temperature (see Description).
Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower
the temperature quickly. For example, when you place
a large number of new food items inside a fridge the
internal temperature will rise slightly. The function
quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing
the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.

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.
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.
FLEX COOL BOX
This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese fresh.
When positioned in the lower part of the fridge
compartment, it is ideal for meat and fish; when moved
to the top part of the fridge, it is perfect for cheese.
It
can be taken out of the fridge when it is not needed.
CAN RACK shelf: stores cans
horizontally (see diagram).
Yoghurt, butter or general
containers may also be stored
here.
ODOUR FILTER
*
: Some models
are fitted with a new odour filter
with active carbons, which
ensures better air quality inside
the refrigerator.
The filter is located on the bottom
left side, inside the FRUIT and
VEGETABLE compartment
.
*
Available only on certain models.

Using the freezer to its full potential
Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature (see Description).
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 in the top FREEZER and
STORAGE 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).
To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):
press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button
(corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates), insert
the food and close the door. The function is disabled
automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures
have been reached (indicator light goes out);
! 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
compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the
ventilation holes with food or containers.

Ice3 ice tray
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 ompletely 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
each mould fills with water (see diagram).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the
tray back.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time
approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard
surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes
come loose and take them out through the opening.
