PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL HINTS

•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.

•To avoid the risk of children becoming trapped or suffocating, do not allow them to play or hide inside the appliance.

•Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs.

•Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, always unplug the appliance or switch the power supply off.

Information

Appliances with isobutane (R600a)

Isobutane is a natural gas having low environmental impact. Caution is required, however, because Isobutane is inflammable. Therefore, ensure that the pipelines of the refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.

HOW TO OPERATE THE

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

This appliance is a refrigerator with

a star freezer compartment.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic.

Optimal performance is obtained at temperatures between +16°C and +32°C.

Switching on the appliance

Depending on the model, the appliance has external (A1-A2) or internal (B) controls.

For appliances having external controls (A1A2): press the startup button (1).

•The interior light switches on when the door is opened.

•Green LED (2) switches on, indicating operation of the appliance.

In models having internal controls (B), when the appliance is connected, the interior light switches on when the door is opened if the thermostat knob is not set on symbol z.

Important:

•There is no need to adjust the thermostat knob (5) as it has already been factory set to ensure the correct storage temperature of fresh food at ambient temperatures between +20°C and +25°C.

•After being switched on, the appliance needs approx. 30 minutes to reach the correct temperature to store a typical volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.

Adjusting the temperature:

Turn the thermostat knob (5) setting:

•to lower numbers 1-2 if you require HIGHER TEMPERATURES in the compartments;

•to the highest number - 5 - for LOWER TEMPERATURES.

To switch off the refrigerator compartment:

Press the ON/OFF button (A1) (if present; alternatively, disconnect the plug from the socket).

Using the refrigerator compartment

Position the food as shown in the figure.

Notes:

•The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow air circulation.

•Do not place the food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.

•Do not place hot food in the refrigerator or freezer compartments.

•Store liquids in closed containers.

•Storing vegetables with high water content can cause condensate formation in the crisper: this will not affect the appliance's efficiency.
