FIRST USE
Connect the appliance to the mains power supply. The right temperatures for the storage of foodstuffs are preset in the factory.
The buzzer sound indicates a temperature alarm: press and hold the button to switch off acoustic alarms. Where applicable, insert the anti-bacterial and anti-odour filter into the fan as indicated on the filter package (see Refrigeration Compartment section).
Note: After switching on, the refrigerator needs approximately 4/5 hours to reach the correct temperature to store a normal fridge load of food.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
APPLIANCE
Periodically clean the appliance with a new cloth and a solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent specific for cleaning inside refrigerators. Never use abrasive detergents. Clean inside the defrost water drain outlet on the rear wall of the refrigerator near the fruit and vegetable drawer regularly, using the tool supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water is removed correctly.
CHANGING BULB (depending on the model)
Always unplug the appliance from the mains before changing the bulb. |
|
1. Loosen the screws and take off the lamp cover. |
|
2. The lamp has a bayonet bulb and needs to be extracted not |
|
unscrewed, following the directions of the arrows as indicated. |
|
After the new bulb has been inserted, replace the lamp cover and wait |
|
five minutes before plugging the fridge back in. |
|
Only use bulbs of the same type which can be requested from the aftersales service and authorized dealers.
LED LIGHTS (depending on the model)
LED lights last longer than normal bulbs, they illuminate better and are more environmentally friendly.
Contact the after-sales service to replace LEDs.

WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS NOT USED
Unplug the appliance from the mains, empty, defrost and clean it. Leave the doors open just enough to allow air to circulate inside both compartments. This will prevent odour and mould from setting in.
DURING BLACKOUTS
Keep the doors closed to allow the stored food to stay cold as long as possible. Do not refreeze partially thawed food. If the blackout persists, the blackout alarm may sound.
FOOD STORAGE
It is important to wrap food so that water, moisture, vapour or condensation can't get in, preventing odours or aromas from building up inside the appliance and allowing better storage of frozen food. Never place hot foods in the freezer compartment which will save energy and prolong the life of the appliance.
Note: The ambient temperature, frequency of door opening and position of the appliance can affect the temperature inside the two compartments. Set the temperature based on these factors.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator compartment is designed for the storage of fresh food and beverages.
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall of the compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates.
Depending on the model, the appliance may have a meat and fish box which is ideal for the storage of fresh meat and fish.
Important: Refrigerator accessories must not be washed in a dishwasher.
Note: when there is a lot of moisture in the air inside the refrigerator compartment and on the glass shelves in particular, there is a risk of condensation forming. In this case, we recommend you seal containers with liquid inside (pots of soup), wrap up any foodstuffs containing moisture (vegetables) and set the fridge temperature to a slightly higher temperature.
Fan and anti-bacterial and anti-odour filter (depending on model)
The fan will ensure the uniform circulation of air inside the compartment which stores food better and reduces excess moisture. Do not obstruct the fan inlet. The fan activates automatically as and when necessary.
