Clean the appliance regularly using a new cloth and a solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent
specific for cleaning inside refrigerators. Never use abrasive detergents.
Do not use steam cleaners. Clean the condenser using a vacuum cleaner, after removing the front plinth
(see Installation manual).
The buttons and control panel display (in some models, located on the freezer door) must not be cleaned
with alcohol or alcohol-derived substances, but with a dry cloth.

Replacing the bulbs
Important:

• Always disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply before
replacing any light bulbs.

• Before replacing the bulb, remove the lamp cover (if present). After
the bulb has been replaced, refit the lamp cover.

• Internal lights are bayonet bulbs.

• The ice and water dispenser light, if present, is a normal screw bulb
although some models may have a LED light.

• LED lights last longer than normal bulbs, they illuminate the inside of
the appliance better and are more environmentally friendly.

Only use bulbs of the same type which can be requested from the after-sales service and authorized
dealers.
If the appliance has a LED light, contact the after-sales service when a replacement is required.

APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE
AND CLEANING

When the appliance is connected to the power supply, the display will show the factory preset
temperatures (-18°C and +5°C).
If the acoustic signal sounds and the temperature indicator blinks, press and hold the alarm mute button.
Note: After being switched on, the appliance needs approximately 2/3 hours to reach the correct
temperature to store a typical volume of food.

As applicable, insert the anti-bacterial and anti-odour filter as indicated on the filter package.

FIRST USE

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Empty the appliance and leave the doors open just
enough to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and
bad odours. If your appliance has an automatic ice maker:

1. Shut off the water supply to the product.

2. Empty the ice bucket.

DURING BLACKOUTS

For power failures lasting up to 12 hours, keep the doors of the appliance closed. In this way the stored
food will stay cold as long as possible.
Should the power failure last more than 12 hours, remove all food from the product and store it in a
suitable appliance.

WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS NOT USED

See the Installation Manual for instructions on how to connect to the mains water supply.

To dispense water:

Water delivery is always available. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever. Water delivery stops
when the lever is released. On models that don't have this lever, press the "Water" button . Water
delivery stops when the lever/button is released.

To dispense ice:

To obtain ice press against the ice dispenser lever. On models that don't have this lever, press the "Ice"
button . Water delivery stops when the lever/button is released.

Useful tips:

1. Keep the glass near the water/ice dispenser outlet.

2. To start dispensing, just press lightly against the lever or press and hold the "Water" / "Ice" buttons
(in models that don't have a water/ice lever). Pressing hard will not result in faster dispensing or greater
quantities.

3. To stop dispensing, remove the glass slowly so that ice does not fall outside the glass (in models with
water/ice levers.)

4. Do not use fragile or easily breakable glasses (in models with water/ice levers).

5. The water dispensed should be consumed within 6 hours.

6. If the water/ice dispenser is only used ccasionally or has been left unused for some time with the
appliance switched on, the circuit will need to be cleaned and the first 2 litres of water drawn off and
the first ice produced thrown away. Repeat this procedure when the product is reconnected to the
power supply after prolonged disuse.

The anti-condensation devices can be disabled by pressing the switch
shown in the figure on the right (switch in position OFF). This allows
you to optimise energy consumption.
If there is condensation in the ice/water dispenser area or on the door,
reactivate the anti-condensation devices (switch in position ON).

USING THE ICE AND WATER DISPENSER

(if installed)

Failure to follow the instructions regarding sanitizing can compromise the hygienic safety of the
water dispensed.

• When using the appliance for the first time and every time the filter is changed, 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.

• If the water dispenser has not been used for more than 4/5 days, it is advisable to clean the circuit and
run off the first litre of water.

• Reposition the removable water dispenser (if present), ensuring your hands are hygienically clean.

• Clean the ice bucket or drawer regularly but using only drinking water.

• The filter must be changed when indicated on the control panel or when the ice/water dispenser has
not been used for more than 30 days.

• Every time the filter is changed, it is a good idea to always sanitise the water dispensing system with
food-grade disinfectant solutions (sodium hypochlorite based) which do not alter the characteristics of
the materials. Rinse with at least 2 litres of water before use.

• Only original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer should be used when replacing components in
the ice and water dispenser.

• Any work on the appliance must be carried out by a qualified technician or the After-sales Service.
