• Do not damage the appliance refrigerant
circuit pipes.
• Install and level the appliance on a floor strong
enough to take its weight and in a place
suitable for its size and use.
• Install the appliance in a dry and well
ventilated place. The appliance is arranged for
operation in places where the temperature
comes within the following ranges, according
to the climatic class given on the rating plate.
The appliance may not work properly if it is
left for a long time at a temperature outside
the specified range.

• Make sure the voltage specified on the rating
plate corresponds to that of your home.
• Do not use single/multi adapters or extension
cords.
• For the water connection, use the pipe
supplied with the new appliance; do not reuse
that of the previous appliance.
• Power cable modification or replacement
must only be carried out by qualified

SAFETY
• Do not store or use petrol, flammable liquids
or gas in the vicinity of this or other electrical
appliances. The fumes can cause fires or
explosions.
• Do not use mechanical, electric or chemical
means other than those recommended by the
Manufacturer to speed up the defrost
process.
• Do not use or place electrical devices inside
the appliance compartments if they are not of
the type expressly authorised by the
Manufacturer.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• 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

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 ice-makers and/or water
dispensers not directly connected to the
water supply must be filled with drinking
water only.

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 refrigerator for the first time
Insert the plug into the mains socket.
The thermostat is used to adjust the temperature of both
compartments: refrigerator and freezer.
How to adjust the temperature of the compartments:
1. For correct operation and optimum storage of food, it is
advisable to set the thermostat to 2-3/MED.
2. To adjust the temperature in the refrigerator compartment,
turn the thermostat control knob:
•lowest/MIN numbers for the LEAST COLD internal
temperatures;
•highest/MAX numbers for the COLDEST internal
temperatures.
thermostat set to 0: no operation, no light.
Note:
In order to ensure proper operation with an ambient temperature
below 16°C, press the button next to the thermostat (if available).
Press the button again to turn it off when the temperature is high
(above 16°C).
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 illustrated in the figure.
A. Cooked food
B. Fish, meat
C. Fruit and vegetables
D. Bottles
E. Eggs
F. Butter, cheese and dairy products
Notes:
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the
refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow
circulation of air.
• 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.
• Storing vegetables with a high water content can result in
condensation in the crisper drawer: this will not affect the
correct operation of the appliance.

HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
The freezer is a star compartment.
This compartment can be used to store frozen foods for the
period of time indicated on packaging. The freezer can also
be used to freeze fresh food by positioning it on the rack;
place frozen food in the lower part of the compartment so
that there is no contact with fresh food that has yet to be
frozen.
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is
shown on the rating plate.
Note:
Pressing the freeze button next to the thermostat (if available)
increases freezing power.
The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours. Deactivate the
freeze button.
Important:
Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:
• aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags,
polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable
for freezing fresh food.
• In the event of a power cut, the freezer compartment will
maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage.
However, it is advisable to avoid opening the compartment
door during such periods.
Important:
The table alongside shows the recommended maximum
storage time for frozen fresh foods.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is
swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored
under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already
begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
• Place the items in the freezer compartment as soon as you get
home.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.
Respect the best-before date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and place it at the bottom
of the freezer compartment.
Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if
it is stuck to the compartment bottom.
