BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, no frost 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, 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, make sure that the appliance is undamaged and that the door closes properly. Any damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of the appliance.
2.Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance on in order to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.
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 safety regulations.
4.Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
1. Packing 
The packaging material is 100% recyclable and carries the recycling symbol. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local regulations for waste disposal.
Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.
2. Scrapping
The appliance is manufactured using recyclable material.
Before scrapping, make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power cable and removing the doors and shelves so that children cannot easily climb inside the appliance.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. Deliver the appliance immediately to an authorized dump; do not leave it unattended even for a few days, since it is potentially dangerous for children.
3. Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600a). 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.
4.Declaration of conformity
•This appliance is designed to store food and is manufactured in conformity with European directive 89/109/CEE, 90/128/CEE and 02/72/CEE.
•This appliance is designed, manufactured, and retailed in compliance with:
-the safety objectives of the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC;
-the protection requirements of the “EMC” Directive 89/336/EEC amended by Directive 93/68/EEC
-the electrical safety of the appliance can only be guaranteed if the product is connected to an approved earth connection.

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.
•After installation, make sure that the refrigerator is not standing on the power supply cable.
•Do not store glass containers with liquids in the freezer since they may burst.
•Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer since they may cause cold burns.
•Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.
•Make sure that your refrigerator is not near a heat source.
•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
•To ensure proper ventilation, leave a 10 cm space above, 3 cm on both sides and 2.5 cm at the rear of the appliance.
•Ensure that the vent outlets on the appliance casing or housing unit are unobstructed in order to allow correct air circulation.
•Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the appliance.
•Install and level the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to take its weight and in an area suitable for its size and use.
•Do not use the refrigerator in an area where the room temperature may fall below 13°C. Install it in a dry and well ventilated room.
•Be careful not to damage the floors when you move the appliance (e.g. parquet flooring).
•Do not use mechanical devices or any means other than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed up the defrosting process.
•Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
•This appliance is not designed for use by young children or the infirm.
•To avoid the risk of children being trapped and therefore suffocating, do not allow them to play or hide inside the refrigerator.
•Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs (if provided).
Electrical Connection
•Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local regulations.
•Ensure that the voltage indicated on the appliance data plate corresponds to the domestic supply voltage.
•Regulations require that the appliance is earthed. The Manufacturer declines all liabilities for injury to persons or damage to property resulting from failure to observe these regulations.
•If the plug and socket are not of the same type, have the socket replaced by a qualified electrician.
•The power cable may only be replaced by an authorized person.
•Do not use extension leads or adapters.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
When the appliance is connected to the power supply, the display lights up and all the symbols appear on the display for a few seconds. Hyphens appear on the freezer display and the symbol 
flashes, while the refrigerator display shows a temperature of +5°C (factory-set). If the power failure alarm is on, see paragraph "Power failure alarm" on page 34.
While the appliance is working to reach the factory-set temperature, the alarm led flashes 
, an acoustic alarm sounds and the freezer display shows flashing 
. This indicates that the appliance has not yet reached the optimal temperature for storage of foodstuffs.
Press the 
button to disable the acoustic alarm.
The led 
will stop flashing when the freezer compartment reaches a temperature below -12°C, the display will show the temperature -18°C, at which point food can be loaded into the freezer compartment.
After being switched on, the refrigerator needs 2, 3 hours to reach the correct temperature to store a typical volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.
IMPORTANT:
•If food is placed in the refrigerator before the appliance has cooled completely, it may deteriorate.
•Turning the refrigerator and freezer controls to a cooler than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
•Do not place food near the air vents in the refrigerator compartment.
•A built-in exterior moisture control continuously guards against moisture build-up on the front edges; Do not be alarmed if these edges sometimes feel warm to the touch.
The inside light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened.
