circuit is fully efficient.
3. Installation and the electrical connection must be
carried out by a qualified technician according to
the manufacturer’s instructions and in
compliance with the local safety regulations.
4. Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.
1. Packing
The packing material is 100% recyclable and bears
the recycling symbol. For disposal, comply with the
local regulations. Keep the packing materials
(plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of the
reach of children, as they are a potential source of
danger.
2. Scrapping/Disposal
The appliance is manufactured using recyclable
material.
This appliance is marked in compliance with
European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By
ensuring the correct disposal of this appliance, you
can help prevent potentially negative consequences
for the environment and the health of persons.
The symbol on the appliance, or on the
accompanying documents, indicates that this
appliance should not be treated as domestic waste
but must be taken to a special collection centre for
the recycling of electrical and electronic
equipment.
When scrapping the appliance, make it unusable by
cutting off the power cable and removing the
doors and shelves so that children cannot easily
climb inside and become trapped.
Scrap the appliance in compliance with local
regulations on waste disposal, taking it to a special
collection centre; do not leave the appliance
unattended even for a few days, since it is a
potential source of danger for children.
For further information on the treatment, recovery
and recycling of this product, contact your
competent local office, the household waste
collection service or the shop where you
purchased the appliance.
Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs. The
refrigerant circuit contains R134a (HFC) or R600a
(HC) (see the rating plate inside the appliance).
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a): isobutane is a
natural gas without environmental impact, but is
flammable. Therefore, make sure the refrigerant
circuit pipes are not damaged.
This product may contain Fluorinated Greenhouse
Gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol; the
refrigerant gas is inside a hermetically sealed
system.
Refrigerant gas: R134a has a Global Warming
Potential of (GWP) 1300.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
17
INSTALLATION
• The appliance must be handled and installed by
two or more persons.
• Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g.
parquet) when moving the appliance.
• During installation, make sure the appliance
does not damage the power cable.
• Make sure the appliance is not near a heat
source.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space
on both sides and above the appliance and
follow the installation instructions.
• Keep the appliance ventilation openings free.
• 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 personnel.
•
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance
from the power supply by unplugging it or by
means of a mains two-pole switch installed
upstream of the socket.
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
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
ice-makers 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.

Starting the appliance up
Starting up the appliance
Plug in the appliance.
• The light, positioned either below the control panel or inside the appliance (depending on model)
switches on when the door is opened.
• Green LED lights up, indicating the appliance is running.
Note:
With products with mechanical operation, provided that the knob is not on the • symbol, the internal light
will come on when the refrigerator door is opened.
Adjusting temperature
• To regulate the temperature refer to the product sheet attached.
Note:
• The ambient air temperature, frequency of door opening and the position of the appliance can affect
internal temperatures. The set temperature must be adjusted based on these factors.
How to store food in the refrigerator compartment
Position the food as shown in the figure.
A Cooked food
B Fish, meat
C Fruit and vegetables
D Bottles
E Cheese
Attention:
• 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.
• 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 affect the
correct operation of the appliance.
Gourmet box (if present)
The box is enhanced with food-grade natural antibacterial substances; these substances improve hygiene in
the box, limiting unpleasant odours and keeping ripe cheeses and dressed pork products fresh for a longer
period a time.
"6th Sense" function
If present, the 6th Sense function is automatically activated in the following case:
Door opening
The function activates when lid opening causes the internal temperature to increase to values that do not
ensure safe storage of food and remains active until optimal storage conditions have been restored.
NOTE: The duration of the 6th Sense function is calculated according to the amount of food inside the
appliance, and the outside temperature. Therefore significant duration variations are quite normal.
