Keep this handbook for future consultation.
1.After unpacking, make sure that the appliance is undamaged and that the door closes perfectly tight. 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. 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. Scrapping
The appliance is manufactured using recyclable material.
This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By making sure this appliance is disposed of correctly, the user will help prevent potentially negative consequences for the environment and the health of persons.
The symbol 
on the appliance, or on the accompanying documents, indicates that this appliance should not be treated as domestic waste but must be taken to a suitable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
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. For more information regarding the treatment, recovery and recycling of this appliance, contact your local office, the domestic waste collection service or the shop where you purchased the product.
Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs (the refrigerant circuit contains R134a) or HFCs (the refrigerant circuit contains R600a) (see the rating plate inside the appliance).
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a): isobutane is a naturally occurring, low
environmental impact gas. Caution is required, however, because isobutane is flammable. Therefore, ensure that the pipelines of the refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
This appliance is equipped with a No Frost system that does not require manual defrosting.
The appliance is also provided with a ventilated system, thanks to which the internal temperature is to all intents and purposes uniform.
Food can be arranged on any shelf inside the appliance. However, take care not to obstruct the air vents in order to allow air to circulate freely.
Optimal performance is obtained at temperatures between +18°C and +43°C.
SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE
•The appliance will switch on automatically when it is plugged in.
•The inside light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened
USING THE REFRIGERATOR
• Temperature Adjustment
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.

Maximum • Large amount of food stored
5• 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.
Storing food in the refrigerator compartment
Position the food as shown in the figure.
A.Cooked food
B.Fish, meat
C.Fruit and vegetables
D.Bottles
E.Butter
F.Dairy products, cheese
To maintain the vitamins, aroma, substance and freshness of the food to be stored, it is advisable to wrap food in aluminium foil, cling film or place it in special freezer containers with lids. This will prevent odours from mixing.
NOTES:
•The space between the shelves and the rear wall must be unobstructed to allow circulation of air.
•Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
•Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.
•Store liquids in closed containers.
•Storing vegetables with a high water content can result in condensation in the crisper drawer: this will not affect the correct operation of the appliance.
•Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic.
•The refrigerator can operate at ambient temperatures between +16°C and +43°C.

FRESH CONTROL COMPARTMENT
This sliding compartment stays colder than the rest of the refrigerator compartment to keep daily foods fresh longer.
It is proper for keeping dairy products, cold cuts, sausage and meat.
If necessary, remove the fresh control compartment for cleaning.
DRAWER (depending on the model)
The drawer has four containers which can be used to store small food items.
For ease of use and optimum food storage, you can move the drawer to the right or left. Furthermore, you can easily remove the drawer if necessary.
Note: close the drawer lids to prevent food from drying out and odours from mixing.
BOTTLE RACK (depending on the model)
Designed to hold bottles in the horizontal position.
The shelf beneath the bottle rack can be easily fitted by simply moving the rack to the right or left.
The bottle rack is easy to remove: simply pull the glass shelf outwards, slide the bottle rack to the right or left and remove it.
The bottle rack can be fitted on any glass shelf.
Note: make sure bottles are tightly closed to avoid spills.
