Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
! After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it in
an upright position and wait at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the electricity mains, to make sure it
operates as it should.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator well using warm
water and bicarbonate of soda before placing food
inside it.
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).
Freezer Compartment
When the product is switched on (the ON/OFF button is
pressed for more than two seconds) the freezer
compartment is set to its default value of -18°C. We
recommend that the SUPER FREEZE function is set (the
freezer status bar continues to display the set value) in
order to accelerate the cooling process of the
compartment; when the inside of the compartment has
reached its optimal temperature the function will be
deactivated and the food may be placed inside.
Refrigerator Compartment
When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator
compartment is set to its default value of +5°C. We
recommend that the SUPER COOL function is set (the
refrigerator status bar continues to display the set value) in
order to accelerate the cooling process of the
compartment. After a few hours it will be cool enough for
food to be placed inside.
The temperatures are automatically set to +5°C for the
refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer
compartment (these are standard food storage values.
When the ECO function is active, the appliance
automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the
conditions inside and outside the refrigerator; the operation
of this function is signalled by the text AUTO.
Whenever it is necessary to activate the ECO function at
temperatures that are different to the standard storage
values, the ECO button must be pressed as soon as the
function is activated and held down while the new
-
temperatures are set using the
these conditions, the temperatures may be set to 4°C, 5°C
and 6°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C, -19°C
and -20°C for the freezer compartment.
When the HOLIDAY function is active the temperature may
not be adjusted, however the appliance adjusts itself
automatically so that the optimal settings for the situation
are used: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment and 18°C for the freezer compartment. This function is
indicated by the text.
To activate and deactivate the functions simply press the
relevant button and the function status will be signalled by

Chiller system
GB
No Frost
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.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
Adjust the temperature using the display.
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.
Using the freezer to its full potential
Adjust the temperature using the display.
To freeze foods in safely and correctly, follow the
instructions below: place the food in the FREEZER
and STORAGE compartment, making sure that it does
not come into contact with any food that has already
been frozen; press the rapid-freezing SUPER FREEZE
button (the corresponding LED lights up) and close
the door. The function deactivates automatically after
24 hours or when the inside of the compartment has
reached the optimal temperature (the LED switches
off).
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).
In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the
freezer compartment, you may remove the bins
(except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE
ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and
place the food directly onto the evaporator plates.
! 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.

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.
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.
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 hold the ON/OFF button down for
more than two seconds 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.
Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
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).
