• To avoid the risk of children becoming trapped and suffocating, do not allow them to play or hide inside the appliance.
• Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs (in some models).
• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer since they may cause cold burns.
Use
• Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect it from the power supply.
• All appliances equipped with an automatic ice­maker and water dispenser must be connected to a water supply that only delivers drinking water (with mains water pressure of between 0.17 and
0.81 Mpa (1.7 and 8.1 bar)). Automatic ice­makers and/or water dispensers not directly connected to the water supply must be filled with drinking water only.
• Use the refrigerator compartment only for storing fresh food and the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.
• Do not store glass containers with liquids in the freezer since they may burst.
The Manufacturer declines any liability if the above advice and precautions are not respected.
Cleaning, sanitization and maintenance of the ice and water dispenser (if present)
Failure to observe the sanitization instructions provided may compromise the hygiene and safety of water dispensed.
• When using the appliance for the first time, discard the first 9-14 litres of water, equivalent to 6-7 minutes of dispensing (not necessarily consecutive, but before initial consumption) and discard the ice produced in the first 24 hours.
• Reposition the removable water dispenser (if present), ensuring your hands are hygienically clean.
• Periodically clean the ice bucket or drawer under running water only.
• Every six months, sanitize the water and ice dispenser system using a food grade disinfectant solution (with sodium hypochlorite) which does not taint the appliance materials. Rinse with water before use.
• Replacement of any parts of the ice and water dispenser must be carried out using original spare parts provided by the Manufacturer.
• Any work on the appliance must be carried out by a qualified technician or the After-sales Service.

Refrigerator compartment
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in progress. The defrost water is automatically run into a drain hole and collected in a container, where it evaporates.
Fan (if provided)
The fan operates automatically. The fan ensures a more consistent distribution of the temperature inside the refrigerator compartment, with better preservation of food and reduction of excess humidity. Do not obstruct the suction zone with food. The fan is only active when the motor is in operation.
Caution! The refrigerator accessories must not be placed in a dishwasher.
Freezer compartment (if present)
This appliance is a refrigerator with a < star rating freezer compartment. Packed frozen foods can be stored for the period indicated on the packing. Fresh food can also be frozen, ensuring that any contact with already frozen food is avoided. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a 24 hour period is given on the rating plate. Re-freezing of partially defrosted food is not recommended. This food should be consumed within 24 hours. For further information on freezing fresh food, refer to the quick guide.
Freezing fresh food
Place the fresh food to be frozen inside the freezer compartment. Avoid direct contact with already frozen food. To freeze the quantity of food shown on the serial tag, remove the top drawer and place the food directly on the rack.
Making ice cubes (if provided)
Fill the ice cube tray up to 2/3 with water and place in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to detach the tray.
Operation of the refrigerator and freezer compartment (if present)
• Use the thermostat knob to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator compartment (or both compartments, depending on the model), as shown in figure 1. Move the knob to the position to switch the whole appliance off.
Note: The ambient temperature, frequency of door opening and position of the appliance can affect the temperatures inside the two compartments. These factors must be taken into consideration when setting the thermostat.
