BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR

Your new appliance is a combined fridge-low
temperature compartment exclusively for
domestic use.

The Low Temperature compartment can be
used for freezing fresh and cooked food, making
ice cubes, and storing frozen and deep-frozen
food; defrosting is a manual procedure. The

refrigerator compartment, which has an
automatic defrost feature, is used for the

storage of fresh food and beverages.

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, 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. Dispose of the appliance in
compliance with local environmental regulations.

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
Low Temperature 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
Low Temperature compartment - danger of
bursting.

• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
after taking them out of the Low Temperature
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).

This appliance is designed, built and sold in
compliance with:

• the safety provisions of the “Low Voltage”

Directive 73/23/EEC;

• the safety provisions of the “EMC” Directive
89/336/EEC, amended by
Directive 93/68/EEC.

• the efficiency requirements of
Directive 96/57/EEC.

Information
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a)

Isobutane is a natural gas having 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

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is
completely automatic.

The refrigerator can operate at ambient
temperature between +10° C and +38° C.
Optimal performance is obtained at
temperatures between +16° C and +32° C.

Switching on the appliance

• Turn the selector (1) to the position shown on

the product description sheet (recommended
by the Manufacturer).

• Green LED (3) lights up, indicating operation of
the refrigerator compartment. In models with
one compressor only, also turn the selector

knob (4) to switch on the appliance.

• Turn the knob (1) to Off to switch off the

refrigerator compartment.

• To switch the light off when the door is open,
pull the switch (8).

SUPERCOOL FUNCTION

• In order to chill food rapidly, press the button

(2): green LED (3) will become yellow and
remain so throughout this function. To cancel
the operation, press the button again.

Important:

• After being switched on, the refrigerator

needs approximately 30 minutes to reach the
correct temperature to store a typical volume
of food in the refrigerator compartment.

.

CLEANING FUNCTION

• By turning the knob (1) to Off it is possible to

clean and empty the refrigerator
compartment with the light on. Pull the switch
(8) to switch the light off.
