BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
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, 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 R600a-
Isobutane). 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.
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment can be
set on the electronic control panel.
To adjust the temperature, follow the instructions in the
accompanying chart.

Important:
When the appliance is used for the first time, there is no need
to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator compartment
using button (3) as it has already been factory set
(+5°C, display 3a). To change the temperature of the
refrigerator compartment, press button (3) until the required
temperature is shown on the display (3a).
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.
Switching the refrigerator on/off. To switch the appliance
on/off without disconnecting it from the mains, press
button (1) on the control panel.
How to use 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.
Important
Since appliance internal temperature is to all intents and
purposes uniform thanks to the new ventilated system
(Fig.1)
,
foods can be arranged on any shelf. Nonetheless, we
recommend to arrange the food as shown in
Fig. 2
paying
attention not to obstruct the air vents
Fig. 1
, so that air can
circulate.
Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.
Moisture controlled crispers
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.
Anti-odour filter
Some foods have strong odours. For this reason the refrigerator
is equipped with a deodoriser that acts like a filter and
eliminates the worry of storing strong odour savoury foods with
more delicate sweet foods. The deodoriser is located in the cool
air duct.
