Safety - a good habit to get into.
ATTENTION
Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions, 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 conformity with UK electrical
safety requirements. It also meets the EC standards on
the prevention and elimination of readio interference
(EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).
1. This appliance is designed to be used indoors and
under no circumstances should it be installed outside
even if protected by a roof. Leaving the appliance exposed to the rain and whether is exceedingly dangerous.
2. The appliance should be used only by adults and
exclusively for storing foodstuffs in compliance with
the instructions provided in this manual. Under no
circumstances should children be allowed to operate,
or tamper with, this product.
3. Do not attempt to operate or handle this appliance
when barefoot, or with wet hands or feet.
4. It is highly recommended that you do not operate
this appliance by connecting it to the power supply
with extensions or multiple socket plugs. If the refrigerator has been installed between two cabinets, make
sure that the supply cord is not dangerously crimped or
trapped beneath a heavy
object.
5. Never pull the cable or the appliance to remove the
plug from the socket; this is exceedingly dangerous.
Installation
Proper installation of the appliance is essential to
ensure the best and most efficient performance of
your appliance.
Ventilation
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 provides
the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also
important that the room should not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct
the grates that allow proper ventilation of the appliance. For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must
leave:
- a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and any
cabinets above it;
- a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is
6. Do not touch the internal cooling elements, especially if
your hands are wet, since you could burn or hurt yourself.
7. Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from
the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home); it is not sufficient to place the
temperature regulation knob “off” to cut off the power.
8. Before disposing of your old appliance, remember to
break or remove the lock as a safety measure to protect children who might lock themselves inside the appliance when
playing. In addition, if the appliance is a new one with a
lock, keep the key out of the reach of small children.
9. If your appliance is not operating properly, read the chapter entitled, “Trouble Shooting”, which might help you to
resolve the problem, before calling an after-sales service
center. Do not attempt to repair the appliance by tampering
with the internal components.
10. If the power supply cord must be replaced, please contact
one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases, the
connections are made using special terminals and in others a
special tool must be used to access the connections.
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
gas R134a (tetraphtorethane) 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.
directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the
like.
Levelling
The floor should be perfectly levelled; if not, you can adjust
the feet at the front of the appliance.
Earthing
Before making the electrical connection, check that the voltage shown on the data plate, that you will find on the bottom
left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper, corresponds to that of your mains and that the socket is earthed in
conformity with all current electrical regulations. If the system is not earthed, the manufacturer declines all liability for
consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or multiple sockets.
Check the power load
The electrical socket must support the maximum power load
of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom left
hand side of the appliance next to the crisper).
Before plugging the appliance to the mains
Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before
plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper performance.

How to use the refrigerator compartment...
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature
inside the appliance
min = less cold
max = 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 compart-ment.
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 set 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
is high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the
formation 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.

3 or 4 days On any shelf
3 or 4 days On any shelf
What Should Not be Stored in the Refrigerator
Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks.
Bananas (they will turn black).
Citrus fruits.
Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).
- Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates
naturally, with the colder air falling down because it is
heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should
be placed above the vegetable container.
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum
storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain
edible for any extended amount of time.
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.
- 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.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods are not stored
any longer than raw food.
- The refrigerator compartment is equipped with convenient, removable shelves which can be adjusted for height
using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large
containers and foodstuffs 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,
in-crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation
of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).

How to use the freezer compartment...
Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods
for freezing.
- Remember that you should never re-freeze products
you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook
the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze
it.
- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they
should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the
top compartment where the temperature will fall below
-18°C, which is ideal
for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conser-vation depends on the speed of freezing.
- Do not open the freezer door during freezing.
- Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data
plate on the left of the container.
- For the best conservation and defrosting, remember
to freeze small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform freezing. Mark package with a description of the
contents and the date it was frozen.
- In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not
open the freezer door.
This will help maintain the temperature inside the
freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for at least
17 hours.
- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they
could explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase in volume when frozen).
Energy Saving Tips
- Install the appliance correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away
from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated
room.
- Correct temperature settings
Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one
of the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not
only consume a great deal of energy but will neither
improve or lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively low temperature may in fact spoil vegetables,
cold meats and cheese.
- Do not overfill your appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good
air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent
this circulation and overwork the compressor.
-If the room temperature remains below 14°C for an extended period of time the freezer will not reach the temperatures required for storage, and storage life will be shorter. In
this case, frozen foodstuffs should be used within a relatively
short period of time.
- Fill the ice container so that they are no more indication of
line.
Super Mode: this mode assures continuous compressor operation up to achievement of low temperatures, necessary for
quick food freezing. After food freezing, the appliance
should be switched over to a normal operation mode.
Do not operate the appliance in Super Mode more
then 24 hours.
Alarm Mode……
- Shut the doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary;
remember that every time you open the door most of the
cold air will be lost. The motor will have to run, and consume energy, to restore the correct temperature.
- Check the door gaskets
keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely
against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Never store hot foods
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room temperature before storing.
- Check your appliance for build up of ice
Remember to check the walls of the freezer for frost; when
the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately
(See “Maintenance Instructions”).
