BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, nofrost fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use. The great advantage of this appliance is that the refrigerator and freezer compartments are ventilated, therefore there is no ice or frost formation on the walls, thanks to the process described below. The cold is produced by an evaporator and distributed to the single compartments by means of a fan.
The air, after circulating in the compartments, is absorbed again by the evaporator, which also retains any humidity in the air. This prevents frost from forming on the compartment walls, as in traditional appliances, therefore there is no need to defrost the appliance.
The humidity absorbed by the evaporator is transformed into water, which is automatically routed to a container located on the compressor, from where it evaporates. The ventilated refrigeration system guarantees optimal food storage, maintaining the original characteristics longer.
To get the most out of your new appliance, read the user handbook thoroughly. The handbook contains a description of the appliance and useful tips for storing food.
Keep this handbook for future consultation.
1.After unpacking the appliance, check for damage and make sure that the doors shut properly. Any damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of the appliance.
2.Wait at least two hours without moving the appliance before switching on. This will give the refrigerant circuit time to settle and operate efficiently.
3.Installation of the appliance and electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and local regulations.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
1.Packing
The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and marked with the recycling symbol. Follow local regulations for scrapping.
Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.
2.Appliance
The appliance is made using recyclable materials. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power cord. The appliance must be delivered to an authorised collection centre for the recovery of refrigerant gas.
Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600aIsobutane). For more information, refer to the identification data plate affixed to the appliance.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
•Use the refrigerator compartment only for storing fresh food and beverages and use the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.
•Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the appliance.
•Do not store liquids in glass containers in the freezer compartment - danger of bursting.
•Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer compartment - risk of “cold” burns.
•Do not allow children to play or hide inside the appliance - risk of becoming trapped and suffocating.
•Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs (if provided).
•Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.
•The power cable may only be replaced by an authorised person.
•After installation, make sure that the refrigerator is not standing on the power supply cable.
Declaration of conformity
This appliance is intended to come into contact with foodstuffs and conforms to D.L. 108 of 25.01.1992 (European Directive 89/109/EEC).
Information
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a).
Isobutane is a natural gas with low environmental impact. Caution is required, however, since isobutane is flammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.
HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR
COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator compartment is designed for the storage of fresh food and beverages. Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic.
The refrigerator can operate at ambient temperatures between +16°C and +43°C. Optimal performance is obtained at temperatures between +18°C and +43°C.
Switching on the appliance
•Plug in the appliance.
•The appliance will switch on automatically.
•The inside light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened.
Using the refrigerator
• Adjusting the temperature.
For correct operation and optimum storage of food, adjust the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments separately.
Refrigerator thermostat
To adjust the temperature in the refrigerator compartment, turn the thermostat knob to the desired position.
TEMPERATURE |
TYPE OF USE |
Minimum |
Small amounts of food stored. |
|
The door is seldom opened. |
Medium |
Normal use. |
Maximum |
Large amounts of food stored. |
|
The door is opened frequently. |
•After being switched on, the refrigerator needs approximately 2 hours to reach the correct temperature to store a typical volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.
Moisture control
Some foods, such as fruit and vegetables, lose moisture when stored in cold, dry places. The crisper drawer maintains the right temperature and moisture level for storing fruit and vegetables. Using the Control Device, it is possible to adjust the airflow inside the crisper drawer.
•We recommend you keep the Control Device closed when storing vegetables and open when storing fruit.
