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) ans 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 readio 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 dangerous 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 the appliance or perform maintenance without first disconnecting it from the electrical mains. Turning the thermostat knob to the setting does not suffice to break 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 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 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.
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 provide the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important that the room not be too humid. During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.
Level
The appliance must be level. If the floor is not level, the adjustable feet located in front can be used to level the appliance.
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 freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda. After putting the plug in the socket, make sure that the light is on inside the appliance and then turn the thermostat knob (A) to the “3” setting. 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 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.

- Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates natu­rally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above the vegetable crisper.
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum stor­age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible for any extended amount of time.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any longer than raw food.
- 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.
- 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.).
- The refrigerator compartment is equipped with convenient, removable shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator.
Fig. 1
Freezing Foods Properly
- For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con­sult a specialized manual.
- Food that has be 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 placed atop the grate 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.
- Fill the ice cube trays about 3/4 full.
- 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.

Tips on Saving Energy
- Install the Appliance Properly
In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sun­light, in a well ventilated room complying with the minimum distances indicated in the paragraph entitled, “ Installation/ Ventilation.”
- Use the Right Temperature Setting
A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption.
- Do not Overfill
To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously.
- Close the Doors
Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tem­perature to the proper level again, the motor must work for a long time, consuming energy.
- Keep an Eye on the Seals
Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.
- No Hot Foods
A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the re­frigerator.
- Defrost the Freezer
Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer and immediately defrost it if the layer of frost is too thick. (see the section entitled, “Keeping your Appliance in Shape”).

Keeping Your Appliance in Shape
Before cleaning the refrigerator, disconnect it from the electrical mains (by removing the plug from the socket or by turning off the main electricity switch for the apartment or house).
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec­ommended by the manufacturer.
How to Defrost the Refrigerator
This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is channeled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose (fig. 2). Here, the heat produced by the compressor will make it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to periodically check and clean the hole of the drain, which is located behind the vegetable crispers, so that the water drains properly.
How to Defrost the Freezer
- Every so often, remove the frost with the scraper provided with the appliance (do not use knives or metal objects).
- If the frost is more than 15 mm thick, the freezer must be defrosted. Proceed as follows: turn the thermostat knob (A) to the · setting . Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in newspaper, placing it either in the refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the freezer door open so that the frost thaws completely. You can speed this process by placing containers of warm water in the compartment.
Cleaning and Special Maintenance
- The materials used to build your appliance are hygienic and do not transmit odors. However, to preserve this quality of your appliance, the food stored in it must be well closed and covered to prevent spills which could stain it and cause unpleasant odors.
- Only water and baking soda. To clean both the interior and exterior, use a sponge with warm water and baking soda, which is, among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do not have any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.
- What not to use. Never use abrasives, bleach or ammonia. Solvents and similar products are strictly prohibited.
- All the removable part should be taken out and allowed to soak in hot water and dishwashing soap. Rinse and dry them well before putting them back in the refrigerator.
- And the back? This is where dust builds up, causing prob­lems with the appliance. Use a long adapter on your vacuum, at a medium power setting, to remove it. Be delicate!
- When the appliance is not used for a long time. If you decide not to use the appliance (during the summer), it must cleaned and the doors left open to prevent the formation of mold and unpleasant odors.
- How to replace the refrigerator lamp. The lamp is located on the pack part of the thermostat knob box. When replac­ing the lamp, disconnect the appliance from the mains, un­screw the burned out lamp and replace it with another fol­lowing the steps illustrated in figure 3. Make sure that the wattage is not greater than 15W.
