BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR

In order to maximise the performance

of your refrigerator, carefully read the

user instructions and the attached

product sheet, which provide useful

food conservation tips and a

description of the appliance. Keep this

booklet for future reference.

•The product you have purchased is an

automatic refrigerator, or a refrigerator with

a low temperature compartment (see

attached product sheet), and is for domestic

use only.

The refrigerator compartment defrosts

automatically and is used for the

preservation of fresh foods and drinks.

The

low temperature

compartment,

if featured, is used for the conservation of

deep-frozen and frozen foods and for

making ice-cubes; defrosting is manual.

1. After unpacking, check the refrigerator for

damage and make sure the doors close

properly. Any damage must be reported to

the retailer within 24 hrs of delivery.

2. Leave the appliance standing in a vertical

position for at least 2 hours before

connecting it to the power supply (to

allow the refrigerant circuit time to

settle).

3. Make sure that the installation and electrical

connection are carried out by a qualified

technician in compliance with the

manufacturer’s instructions and local safety

regulations.

1. Packaging

The packaging material is 100% recyclable, as

confirmed by the recycling symbol. Follow local

regulations for waste disposal.

Keep potentially hazardous packaging (plastic

bags, polystyrene, etc.) out of the reach of

children.

2. Product

The refrigerator has been manufactured

using recyclable materials. Follow local

waste disposal regulations when scrapping.

Cut off the power cable to prevent

connection to the mains.

Dispose of the appliance at your local

recycling plant for refrigerant gases.

Information

This appliance is free of CFC’s (refrigerant

circuit contains R134a) or free of HFC’s (re-

frigerant circuit contains R600a - Isobutane).

For more details, please refer to the rating

plate on the appliance.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

•Only use the refrigerator compartment to

store fresh foods only and the low

temperature compartment to store deep-

frozen foods and making ice-cubes.

•Do not cover or close the air vents.

•Do not put glassware containers holding

liquids in the low temperature compartment

since they may explode.

•Do not eat ice-cubes or ice-lollies

immediately after taking them out of the

low temperature compartment, since they

may cause cold-burns.

•To prevent the risk of trapping and

suffocation, do not allow children to play or

hide inside the refrigerator.

• Before cleaning or servicing the

appliance, always unplug it or switch

off the mains power supply.

• The power cable may only be replaced

by authorized personnel.

Declaration of conformity

•This appliance is designed to store food

products and complies with European

Directive 89/109/EEC.

For appliances with Isobutane (R600a)

The refrigerant Isobutane is a natural gas of

high environmental compatibility but which

is inflammable. Therefore, it is essential to

ensure that the ducts of the refrigerant cir-

cuit do not get damaged.

HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

This is an automatic refrigerator or refrigerator

with star low temperature compartment.

Refrigerator compartment defrosting is

fully automatic.

The refrigerator operates in an ambient

temperature ranging from +16°C to +32°C.

Switching on the refrigerator

Insert the plug in the mains socket.

The thermostat allows you to set the

temperature inside the refrigerator

compartment without altering the conditions

inside the low temperature compartment.

Setting the temperature:

1. For correct operation and excellent storage

results in both compartments, set the

thermostat between positions 2 and 3.

2. To set the temperature inside the

compartments, turn the thermostat as

follows:

• 1-2 for a WARMER TEMPERATURE.

• 3-4 for a COLDER TEMPERATURE.

Thermostat set to • position: the appliance and

lighting switch off.

Note:

Ambient temperature, the frequency with

which the doors are opened and closed and the

position of the appliance can affect the

temperature inside the two compartments.

Adjust the thermostat accordingly.

How to store food in the refrigerator

compartment.

1. Store the food as shown in the adjacent

illustration.

A. Cooked food

B. Fish and meat

C. Fruit and vegetables

D. Bottles

E. Eggs

F. Butter, cheese and other dairy products.

Note:

•Make sure the air circulates freely between

the shelves and the back wall of the

refrigerator.

•Do not store food against the back wall of

the compartment.

•Store liquids in sealed containers.

•Vegetables with a high water content (e.g.

lettuce) may cause condensation to form in

the bottom drawers and/or on the middle

shelves; this does not affect the correct

operation of the appliance. Nevertheless, it

is advisable to wrap vegetables before

storing.

HOW TO USE THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT

If installed, the star low temperature

compartment may be used to store frozen

products for the time indicated on the

packaging.

When purchasing deep-frozen foods, check

the following:

•That the packaging is intact, since the food

may have deteriorated. If the package bulges

or is marked by damp patches, the product

has not been correctly stored and may have

partially thawed.

•Purchase deep-frozen foods last and use

insulated bags for transportation.

•Place items in the low temperature

compartment as soon as you get home.

•Consume partially thawed food within 24 hrs.

•Avoid temperature variations as much as

possible. Observe the “best before” date on

the packaging.

•Observe the instructions for preserving deep-

frozen foods written on the packaging.

How to make ice-cubes

•Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full of water and place it in

the bottom of the low temperature

compartment.

If the ice-tray sticks to the bottom, do not

use pointed or sharp instruments to

detach it.

HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT

To maximise performance, defrost the low

temperature compartment at least twice a

year, or when the layer of ice on the walls

reaches 3 mm thickness.

Defrost the compartment when the

contents are low.

1. Open the door and take out all food items,

wrapping them in newspaper and placing

them together in a cool place or in an

insulated bag.

2. Unplug the appliance from the mains.

3. Leave the door open to allow the frost/ice

on the compartment walls to melt.

4. Remove the defrost water with a sponge.

5. Clean with a sponge soaked in a solution of

lukewarm water and neutral detergent. Do

not use abrasive substances.

6. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Note: to avoid causing irreparable

damage, do not use pointed or sharp

metal instruments to scrape off ice and

do not artificially heat the low

temperature compartment.

HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

Clean the refrigerator compartment

regularly.

Refrigerator compartment defrosting is

fully automatic.

The formation of water droplets on the rear

internal wall of the refrigerator compartment

indicates that the automatic defrosting is

underway. Defrost water is channelled to a run-

off and collected in a container, where it

evaporates. Clean the run-off channel regularly,

using the supplied instrument, in order to

guarantee a continuous outflow of defrost

water.

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the

mains.

•Use a sponge soaked in lukewarm water

and/or neutral detergent.

•Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use

abrasive materials.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

•Clean the air vents regularly with a vacuum

cleaner or a brush.

•Clean the exterior with a soft cloth.

Prolonged disuse

1. Empty the refrigerator and low temperature

compartments.

2. Unplug the appliance from the mains.

3. Defrost the low temperature compartment,

clean and dry both compartments.

4. Leave the doors open to prevent the

formation unpleasant odours.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

•Do not expose the appliance to heat

sources, direct sunlight, etc., since this will

increase energy consumption.

•Do not cover the vents or air outlets.

•When thawing food items, place them in

the refrigerator compartment to make use

of the low temperature.

•Keep the door open as little as possible.

•Do not put food in the refrigerator when

still hot.

•Do not leave the low temperature

compartment door open.

Fuse replacement

If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a

BS 1363A 13 amp fused plug, to change a fuse in

this type of plug use an A. S. T. A approved fuse

to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:

1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B)

2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover

3. Refit both into plug.

IMPORTANT: The fuse cover must be refitted

when chang-ing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost

the plug must not be used until a correct replace-

ment is fitted. Correct replacements are identified

by the colour insert or the colour embossed in

words on the base of the plug. Replacement fuse

covers are available from your local electrical store.

CONNECTION TO A REWIREABLE

PLUG

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket ou-

tlet, then it should be cut off and disposed of in or-

der to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be in-

serted into a 13A socket elsewhere. A suitable alter-

native plug should then be fitted to the cable.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accor-

dance with the following code:

BLUE "NEUTRAL" ("N")

BROWN "LIVE" ("L")

GREEN AND YELLOW "EARTH" ("E)

1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connec-

ted to the terminal in the plug which is marked with

the letter "E" or by the Earth symbol or colou-

red green or green and yellow.

2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the termi-

nal which is marked with the letter "N" or colou-

red black.

3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the ter-

minal which is marked with the letter "L" or co-

loured red.

For the Republic of Ireland only

The information given in respect of Great Britain

will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and

socket is also used, the 2-pin, side earth type. In

this case, the wire which is coloured GREEN AND

YELLOW must be connected to the EARTH con-

tact, and the other two wires to the pins,

irrespective of colour. The supply to the socket

must be fitted with a 16 amp fuse.
