Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
Static
GB
Models without the Aýrcooler have the cooling section in
the internal back wall of the compartments. The wall will
be covered in frost or water droplets depending on
whether the compressor is operating or paused: both
cases are normal. If the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION
knob has been set on high values with large quantities of
food and with a high ambient temperature, the appliance
can operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost
formation and excessive energy consumption:
compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower
values (defrosting will occur automatically).
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see Installation).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm
water and bicarbonate.
! The appliance comes with a motor protection control
system which makes the compressor start approximately
8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also
starts each time the power supply is cut off whether
voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way:
the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier.
The food should be stored as follows:
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
green POWER indicator light illuminates.
3. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an
average value. After a few hours you will be able to put
food in the refrigerator.

Chiller system
The appliance comes with one of the chiller systems
described below: take note of your system in order to
determine the most efficient food storage method.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
Aircooler
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust
the temperature (see Description).
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see
diagram). The Aircooler maintains a constant fridge
temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will
quickly restore the temperature to the correct level, even
if the door is opened frequently: the blown air (A) is
cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall,
whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).
• Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower
the temperature quickly. For example, when you place
a large number of new food items inside a fridge the
internal temperature will rise slightly. The function
quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing
the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment,
not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
B

Using the freezer to its full potential
ICE trays: to make ice.
GB
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature (see Description).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing
it up and then outwards (see
diagram).
Check that the tray is completely
empty and fill it with water
through the opening provided.
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already
been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten
(within 24 hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into
contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh
food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE
compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C
and guarantees rapid freezing.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer
because they could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator
compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).
• To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):
- for small quantities which are less than those indicated on
the data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE
button (corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates),
insert the food and close the door. The function is disabled
automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures
have been reached (indicator light goes out);
2. Take care not to exceed the
level indicated (MAX WATER
LEVEL). Excess water prevents
the ice cubes from dispensing
(if this happens, wait for the ice
to melt and empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: the water
fills up the moulds (see
diagram). Close the opening
with the lid and replace. When
the ice has formed (minimum
time approximately 8 hours),
knock the tray against a hard
surface.
MAX
WATER LEVEL
- for large quantities which are greater than the maximum
load indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid
freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding
indicator light begins to flash. After 24 hours the indicator
light stops flashing and remains on constantly. Place the
food inside the freezer and close the door. After another 24
hours, the function will be disabled automatically (indicator
light goes out).
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside
the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9
-14 hours.

Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Holiday function
GB
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not
necessary to switch the appliance off. The appliance has
a function which allows it to maintain the temperature of
the refrigerator compartment at approximately 15°C
(which can also be used to conserve make-up and
beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to
the minimum value in order to preserve the food.
1. set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
2. pull the plug out of the socket
! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound.
This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore
normal operation, it is sufficient to set the FREEZER
OPERATION knob on the desired value. To disconnect
the appliance, follow point 1 and 2.
To enable the function:
set the REFRIGERATOR
OPERATION knob on
HOLIDAY (see diagram).
A double acoustic signal
informs you when it has
been enabled. A single
acoustic signal informs
you when it has been
disabled.
Cleaning the appliance
• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber
seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been
soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or
neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products,
bleach or ammonia.
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm
water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry
them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can
be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum
cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be
switched off and the plug must be pulled out before
cleaning the appliance.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials
which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free
refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food
must always be covered or sealed properly.
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors
open.

5. Certain appliances are
fitted with the DRAIN
SYSTEM to lead the water
outside. Let the water flow
into a container (see
diagram).
Defrosting the appliance
GB
! Follow the instructions below.
Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any
devices or tools other than the scraper provided, you
may damage the refrigeration circuit.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function:
water is ducted to the
back of the appliance by a
special discharge outlet
(see diagram) where the
heat produced by the
compressor causes it to
evaporate. It is necessary
to clean the discharge
hole regularly so that the
water can flow out easily.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment,
pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the
instructions below.
Access the light bulb by removing the cover as
indicated in the diagram.
Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power
range indicated on the cover (15W or 25W).
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Remove frost regularly using the special scraper
provided. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is
necessary to defrost manually:
1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the
position
.
2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in
another freezer or in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted
completely. This can be made easier by placing
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer
compartment.
4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully
before switching the appliance on again.
10
Precautions and tips
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in
compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.
Disposal
GB
• Observe local environmental standards when
disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the
materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of
your obligation, that when you dispose of the
appliance it must be separately collected.
This appliance complies with the following
Community Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and
subsequent amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
- 2002/96/CE.
General safety
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal
of their old appliance.
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside
the home and is not intended for commercial or
industrial use.
• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food
products by adults only and according to the
instructions in this manual.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight
and do not place it near heat sources.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or
moist hands and feet.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve
energy.
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food:
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will
work continuously.
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off
the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical
supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature
adjustment knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all
electrical contact.
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The
internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance).
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food
products more difficult and results in increased
energy consumption.
• Do not use devices or tools other than the special
scraper provided inside the compartments.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping (see Maintenance).
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer
into your mouth.
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or
play with the appliance. Under no circumstance should
they be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the
door.
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
