BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Your new appliance is exclusively for domestic use.

The freezer 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 door shuts properly.

Any damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of the appliance.

2.Wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to the power supply 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 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.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

•Use the thermostat to select the ideal storage temperature as indicated in the enclosed product sheet.

•Do not install the appliance in places exposed to direct sunlight or near heat sources since this will increase power consumption.

•With built-in appliances, do not obstruct the ventilation grilles (see “Care and Maintenance” chapter).

•With free-standing appliances, remove accumulated dust from the condenser at the rear of the appliance at least once a year (see “Care and Maintenance” chapter).

•Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.

•Limit the frequency of door opening of both refrigerator and freezer compartments.

•Defrost the appliance at least twice a year.

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.

•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.

Declaration of conformity

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

Switching on the appliance

Plug in the appliance.

The thermostat, located inside the refrigerator compartment, is used to adjust refrigerator compartment temperature; the freezer compartment does not require any temperature adjustments.

Adjusting the temperature

1.For correct operation and optimum storage of food, follow instructions given in the enclosed product sheet for thermostat adjustment.

2.To adjust the temperature in the refrigerator compartment, set the thermostat control knob to:

•the lowest numbers1-2 for the LEAST COLDinternal temperatures;

•numbers 3-4 for a MEDIUM internal temperature;

•the highest numbers5-7 for the COLDESTinternal temperatures.

Thermostat set to ●: no operation, no light.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic.

Note:

The ambient air temperature, frequency of door opening and the position of the appliance can affect internal temperatures. These factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.

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 Eggs

FCheese

Note:

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

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

•Store liquids in closed containers.

Important:

Storing vegetables with high water content can cause condensation to form on the glass shelf of the crisper drawer: this will not affectthe correct operation of the appliance.
