BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR

Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, no-

frost fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use.

The great advantage of this appliance is that the

refrigerator and freezer compartments are

ventilated, therefore there is no ice or frost

formation on the walls, thanks to the process

described below. The cold is produced by an

evaporator and distributed to the single

compartments by means of a fan.

The air, after circulating in the compartments, is

absorbed again by the evaporator, which also

retains any humidity in the air. This prevents frost

from forming on the compartment walls, as in

traditional appliances, therefore there is no need

to defrost the appliance.

The humidity absorbed by the evaporator is

transformed into water, which is automatically

routed to a container located on the compressor,

from where it evaporates. The ventilated

refrigeration system guarantees optimal food

storage, maintaining the original characteristics

longer.

To get the most out of your new appliance, read

the user handbook thoroughly. The handbook

contains a description of the appliance and useful

tips for storing food.

Keep this handbook for future consultation.

1. After unpacking the appliance, check for damage

and make sure that the doors shut properly. Any

damage must be reported to your dealer within

24 hours after delivery of the appliance.

2.Wait at least two hours without moving the

appliance before switching on. This will give

the refrigerant circuit time to settle and

operate efficiently.

3. Installation of the appliance and electrical

connections must be carried out by a qualified

electrician, in accordance with the

manufacturers instructions and local

regulations.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

1.Packing

The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and

marked with the recycling symbol. Follow local

regulations for scrapping.

Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,

polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as

they are potentially dangerous.

2.Appliance

The appliance is made using recyclable materials.

Disposal must be carried out in accordance with

local environmental regulations for waste disposal.

Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the

power cord. The appliance must be delivered to an

authorised collection centre for the recovery of

refrigerant gas.

Information:

This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced

with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600a-

Isobutane). For more information, refer to the

identification data plate affixed to the appliance.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Use the refrigerator compartment only for

storing fresh food and beverages and use the

freezer compartment only for storing frozen

food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.

Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the

appliance.

Do not store liquids in glass containers in the

freezer compartment - danger of bursting.

Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately

after taking them out of the freezer

compartment - risk of cold burns.

Do not allow children to play or hide inside the

appliance - risk of becoming trapped and

suffocating.

Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the ice

packs (if provided).

 Before servicing or cleaning the appliance,

unplug it from the mains or disconnect the

electrical power supply.

The power cable may only be replaced by an

authorised person.

After installation, make sure that the refrigerator

is not standing on the power supply cable.

Declaration of conformity

This appliance is intended to come into contact with

foodstuffs and conforms to D.L. 108 of 25.01.1992

(European Directive 89/109/EEC).

Information

Appliances with Isobutane (R600a).

Isobutane is a natural gas with low environmental

impact. Caution is required, however, since

isobutane is flammable. Therefore, it is essential to

ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.

HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR

COMPARTMENT

The refrigerator compartment is designed for the storage of fresh food and beverages.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic.

The refrigerator can operate at ambient temperatures between +16°C and +43°C. Optimal performance is

obtained at temperatures between +18°C and +43°C.

Switching on the appliance

Plug in the appliance.

The appliance will switch on automatically.

The inside light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened.

Using the refrigerator

Adjusting the temperature.

For correct operation and optimum storage of food, adjust the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer

compartments separately.

Refrigerator thermostat

To adjust the temperature in the refrigerator compartment, turn the thermostat knob to the desired position.

After being switched on, the refrigerator needs approximately 2 hours to reach the correct temperature

to store a typical volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.

Moisture control

Some foods, such as fruit and vegetables, lose moisture when

stored in cold, dry places. The crisper drawer maintains the right

temperature and moisture level for storing fruit and vegetables.

Using the Control Device, it is possible to adjust the airflow inside

the crisper drawer.

We recommend you keep the Control Device closed when storing

vegetables and open when storing fruit.

TEMPERATURE TYPE OF USE

HOW TO OPERATE THE EXTRA-COLD COMPARTMENT

How to use the refrigerator compartment

To maintain the vitamins, aroma, substance and freshness of

the food to be stored, it is advisable to wrap food in aluminium

foil, cling film or place it in special freezer containers with lids.

This will prevent odours from mixing. Your refrigerator has an

anti-odour system; the anti-odour filter is located in the cool

air duct.

Important

Since appliance internal temperature is to all intents and

purposes uniform thanks to the new ventilated system

(MULTI-FLOW), foods can be arranged on any shelf. However,

take care not to obstruct the air vents in order to allow air to

circulate freely.

Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.

Anti-odour filter (if provided)

Some foods have strong odours. For this reason the refrigerator is

equipped with a deodoriser that acts like a filter and eliminates

the worry of storing strong odour savoury foods with more

delicate sweet foods.

The deodoriser is located in the cool air duct.

The temperature inside this compartment is maintained constant and is colder than in other parts of

the refrigerator. Dairy products can be stored in this compartment longer and drinks are chilled more

rapidly; It can be used to store dairy products, cold meats and meat.

If necessary, remove the extra-cold compartment, taking all the food out first. Pull the drawer out

fully. Then, holding the compartment with both hands, carefully lift it up and out.

It is not advisable to remove the tilting door from the extra-cold compartment.
