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 compartment since they may break.
•Avoid storing unwrapped food in direct contact with internal surfaces of the refrigerator or freezer compartments.
The Manufacturer declines any liability if the above advice and precautions are not respected.
•To avoid the risk of children becoming trapped and suffocating, do not allow them to play or hide inside the appliance.
INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
Danger of personal injury!
•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.
WARNING
Danger of fire and damage!
•Make sure the appliance is not near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc.
•To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space on both sides and above the appliance and follow the installation instructions. The distance between the rear of the appliance and the wall behind the appliance should be 50mm. A reduction of this space will increase the Energy consumption of product.

•Install and level the appliance on a floor strong enough to take its weight and in a place suitable for its size and use.
•Do not damage the appliance refrigerant circuit pipes.
•Appliances with fitted handles must be situated at least 50mm from the wall on the hinge side so that the door can be opened by 90°.
•Appliances with internal handles can be placed right up to the side wall.
•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.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard!
•Power cable modification or replacement must only be carried out by qualified personnel or by After-sales Service.
WARNING
Risk of injury from repairs by nonprofessionals!
•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.
Notes
•Do not block the air outlet area (on the back wall) with food products
•If the freezer is provided with a flap, it is possible to maximize the storage volume by removing the flap (by bending it).
•All shelves, flaps and pull-out baskets are removable.
•The internal temperatures of the appliance may be affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.
•Unless otherwise specified the appliance accessories are not dishwasher safe.
•The bigger distance at the backside of appliance to the wall, the higher is energy-saving.
HOW TO INCREASE FREEZER
STORAGE CAPACITY
You can increase storage capacity in the freezer compartment by:
•removing the baskets / flaps to allow the storage of big products.
•placing the food products directly on the freezer shelves.
•removing the Twist Ice Maker

FREEZER USE
6th SENSE
GREEN INTELLIGENCE
The 6th Sense/ Green Intelligence function works to maintain the right temperature in the following cases:
- Door opened for a while
The function activates when door 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.
- Fresh food stored in the freezer
The function activates when fresh food is placed in the freezer and remains active until optimal freezing conditions are reached so as to ensure the best freezing quality with the lowest power consumption.
NOTE: Besides the quantity of food loaded into the freezer, ambient temperature and the quantity of food already inside the freezer affect the duration of the 6th Sense/ Green Intelligence function. Therefore significant duration variations are quite normal.
ON/STAND BY
This function turns On/Stand-by the freezer compartments. To put the product in Stand-by, press & hold the On/Stand-by button 
for 3 seconds. When the appliance is in Stand-by, the light inside the refrigerator compartment does not work. Remember that this operation does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. To switch the appliance On again, simply press and hold for 3 seconds the On/Stand-By button 
.
BLACK OUT ALARM
After a power blackout, your product is designed to automatically monitor the temperature in the freezer when electricity is resupplied. If the temperature in the freezer rises above freezing level, the Black Out indicator 
turns on, the Alarm indicator 
blinks and the acoustical alarm sounds when electricity is resupplied. To reset the alarm press the Stop Alarm button 
just once. In case of Black Out Alarm, the following actions are recommended:
•If the food in the freezer is unfrozen but still cold, all the food in the freezer should be eaten within the next 24 hours.
•If the food in the freezer is frozen, this indicates the food was thawed and then refrozen when electricity was re-supplied which degrades taste, quality and nutritional value and also could be unsafe. It is recommended to not consume the
food but to dispose of the entire content of the freezer. The Black Out Alarm is designed to provide guidance on food quality in the freezer in the event of electricity black out. This system does not guarantee food quality or safety and consumers are advised to use their own judgment in evaluating food quality in freezer compartment.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
The acoustic alarm sounds and temperature indicator (°C) blinks. The alarm is activated when:
•The appliance is connected to the power supply after prolonged disuse
•The freezer compartment temperature is too high
•The quantity of foods loaded into the freezer exceeds that indicated on the rating plate
•The freezer door has been left open for a long
time.
To mute the alarm buzzer press Stop Alarm button
just once. The Alarm indicator 
is automatically turned-off as soon as the freezer compartment reaches a temperature below -10°C and the temperature set indicator (°C) stop blinking and shows the chosen setting.
NOTE: The temperature alarm may even be activated following prolonged opening of the door or after fresh food products have been placed in the freezing zone; the temporary increase in temperature signaled does not affect the perfect preservation of already frozen food.
SHOCK FREEZE
The "Shock Freeze" compartment is specifically designed to freeze up to 2 kg of fresh food extremely quickly.
The ultra-fast "Shock Freeze" function minimizes the formation of ice crystals inside the food as it freezes, thus ensuring it is of the best possible quality when defrosted prior to consumption. When the "Shock Freeze" function is not active, the compartment can be used as normal for traditional freezing or for the storage of already frozen foods. NOTE: When the Shock Freeze function is active you may hear a humming sound.
This is absolutely normal and is caused by airflow that permits optimum cold distribution inside compartment.
Activating and deactivating the "Shock Freeze" function:
1.Make sure at least 12 hours have passed since the last time the "Shock Freeze" function was
