Safety Instructions

Domestic Use

Keep these instructions and they should remain at the appliance when moving away or changing owner.

This appliance is designed for storing food, domestic use and being used according to these instructions only.

Specialised companies that are qualified to do so by the manufacturer must carry out service and repairs including repairing and changing the power cord. Accessory parts supplied by them

should be used only for repairing. Otherwise the appliance can be damaged or can cause other damage or injury.

The appliance is out of circuit only in that case if the plug is removed from the socket. Before cleaning and maintenance always unplug it (do not get it by the cable). If the socket is difficult to reach, switch off the appliance by cutting off the current.

Power cord must not be lengthened.

Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the fridge/freezer.

- A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.

Do not place heavy articles or the fridge itself on the power cord.

- There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.

Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly when the fridge is being pulled out of its niche.

- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock.

- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified service agent or qualified service personnel.

If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.

- There is a risk of electric shock or fire.

Without the lamp cover of interior lighting you must not operate the appliance.

When cleaning, do not use sharp, pointed or hard devices, as they can cause damage to the appliance.

Be careful not to allow liquids to the temperature control and lighting box.

Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts.

Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the appliance, because they may explode.

Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting regularly - a label inside the appliance warns you of this. If it is clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure.

Precautions for child safety

Do not allow children to play with the packaging of the appliance. Plastic foil can cause suffocation.

Adults must handle the appliance. Do not allow children to play with it or its controlling parts.

If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as close to the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent playing children to suffer electric shock or to close themselves into it.

Safety precautions for isobutane

Warning

The refrigerant of the appliance is isobutane (R600a) This is a flammable substance.

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure

Setting “1” = Highest temperature, warmest setting

Setting “6” = lowest temperature, coldest setting.

Setting “0” = Off

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Internal Parts

Storage shelves

The shelves can be removed for cleaning.

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the shelves can be placed at different heights.

To remove the internal shelf pull forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed.

Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.

The glass shelf above the vegetable drawers and the bottle shelf should always remain in position, to ensure correct air circulation.

or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

Use and Control

Before Use

Wait 4 hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Remove safety elements used for transportation.

Insert the plug into the wall socket and turn the thermostat knob clockwise beyond position «O» (OFF).

The thermostat control situated inside the fridge compartment regulates the temperature of the appliance.

Turn the thermostat control to the required setting.

Starting the appliance

Temperature Control

The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature:

Ambient temperature

Quantity and temperature of the food stored;

Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open

the location of the appliance.

The temperature inside the appliance is automatically adjusted.

Page 6

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad compartment, this being the coldest spot in the refrigerator.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.

Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc: these should be

well covered and can be stored on any of the glass shelves.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer/s.

Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required.

For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door sheves can be easily removed and refitted in position.

Hints

Saving Energy

Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section Installation. When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy.

Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.

Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.

Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean.

Hints for refrigeration

Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell.

Maintenance

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must there-

fore only be carried out by authorised technicians.

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator.

Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases and it needs more energy.

At this type of appliance defrosting cooling compartment is automatic without any external intervention.

The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less time - during this cooling is interrupted - temperature of the cooling compartment increases and defrosting occurs. After defrosting the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.

Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into the evaporative tray maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it.

Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting regularly. If it is

clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure as it can go to the insulating of the appliance.

Page 7

When the appliance is not in use

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

How to change the bulb

Should the light fail to work you can change it as below:

Break the circuit of the appliance.

Unscrew the plate screw fixing the lamp cover, then take the lamp cover off in the direction of arrow and the bulb can be changed. (Type of the bulb: Mignon 322, 230 V, 15 W, E 14 thread)

After changing bulb replace the lamp cover, screw the plate screw and apply voltage to the appliance.

The lack of light does not influence operation of the refrigerator.

Clean the defrost water outlet with the supplied pipe cleaner that can be seen in the picture. The pipe cleaner has to be stored in the outlet.

Occasionally check the defrost water outlet is not clogged up.

The most typical case of clogging up in the defrost water outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back plate of cooling compartment and freezes to it. If you remove the food right at this moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging up in the outlet by getting into it. So you are asked to be careful - because of the above - when placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance.

In case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens to operate constantly - during this the automatic

defrosting is ineffective.

Remaining small ice and frost patches on the back plate of the cooling compartment after the defrosting period is normal. on back plate of the cooling compartment after defrosting period is not abnormal.

Cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a year remove the ventilation grill at the base and clean the air channels with a vacuum cleaner.

Something not Working

Problems may be due to causes which can easily be solved before calling the Technical Service. Please follow these instructions:

SYMPTOM

Door does not close

It is too warm inside the refrigerator

It is too cold inside the refrigerator.

The compressor works continuously.

There is water inside/outside the refrigerator.

Water comes out on the floor.

Noises

SOLUTION

Make sure that the appliance is correctly levelled.

The weight surpasses the storage limit of the door shelf. This weight needs to be adjusted and spread more evenly.

The appliance is not properly installed. Please look in the “Building-in” section.

Set a lower temperature.

Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate around them.

Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete and clean.

The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.

Turn the temperature regulator to a warmer setting temporarily.

Turn the thermostat knob to a lower number.

The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.

Check that the ventilation is sufficient and that the ventilation openings are unobstructed.

The cause could be the introduction of large quantities of food and/or frequent opening/closing of the door.

Sometimes is normal. During automatic defrosting frost thaws on the cooling plate.

Place the drain hose at the back of the cabinet above the drain bowl.

Sometimes this is normal. Temperature control may cause clicking sounds when the system is connected or disconnected.

The injected cooling gas may produce a gurgling sound while passing through the tubes.

The motor may cause a humming noise and/or slight bumping.

The insulation material used has a tendency to slighly increase noise levels, how ever it allows for much better insulation and a lower energy consumption.
