consequences for the environment and human
health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate waste handling of this product.
The symbol
on the product, or on the
documents accompanying the product, indicates
that this appliance may not be treated as
household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to
the applicable collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment.
Before scrapping, make the appliance unusable by

isobutane is a naturally occurring, low
environmental impact gas. Caution is required,
however, because isobutane is flammable.
Therefore, it is essential to ensure that refrigerant
pipelines are not damaged.
This product contains Fluorinated Greenhouse
Gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol, the
refrigerant gas being in a hermetically sealed
system.
Refrigerant gas: R134a has a Global Warming
Potential (GWP) 1300.

temperatures between +10°C and +38°C.
Switching on the appliance
Once the power plug is inserted in the mains socket, unless the
thermostat (1) is set to symbol z the inside light switches on each
time the door is opened.
Once the temperature has been set – see next chapter – the
appliance is ready for use.
Adjusting the temperature
- To adjust the temperature in the compartment, turn the
thermostat control knob:
• to lower numbers 1-2/MIN for the LEAST COLD internal
temperatures;
• to 3-4/MED for a MEDIUM temperature;
• to 5-7/MAX for the COLDEST temperature.
Thermostat setting on z: no operation, no light.
Note:
The ambient air temperature, frequency of door opening and the
position of the appliance can affect internal temperatures. These
factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.
Important
• Thermostat adjustment (1) will depend on where the
appliance is installed, ambient temperature and frequency of
door opening.
How to use the refrigerator compartment:
!Position the food as illustrated in the figure:
1. Cooked food

HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
Only for
or
appliances:
" Appliances with the symbol
can be used to
store already frozen food.
Appliances with the symbol
can be used to
store food for months and also to freeze food. The
amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24
hours is indicated on the appliance rating plate
(see paragraph “Product description”, point 6).
Freezing food
• Set the thermostat knob (1) to 3-4.
• Arrange the food to be frozen centrally in the
freezer compartment.
• Avoid contact between already frozen food and food that
has yet to be frozen (approx. 20 mm distance).
• After 24 hours turn the thermostat knob (1) back to the
normal position.
Important:
Wrap and seal the food in:
• Aluminium foil, cling film, watertight plastic bags,
polythene containers with lids or special freezer
containers.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package
is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been
stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have
already begun.
• Transport products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last.
• Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the
freezer.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid subjecting foods to temperature variations.
Observe the "best before" date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube trays (9) 3/4 with water and place them at
the bottom of the freezer compartment.
• Use a spoon handle to remove ice cube trays which stick
to the compartment.
Do not use sharp or pointed instruments.

"
HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE
APPLIANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning
operations, unplug the appliance from the mains
socket. Defrost the freezer compartment when the ice
on the walls reaches a thickness of 3 mm.
• Remove foodstuffs from the
or
freezer and
turn the thermostat knob to z.
• The frozen food must be wrapped in sheets of newspaper
(or a cover) and kept in a cool place.
• Clean the freezer compartment using a sponge dampened
in a solution of lukewarm water and/or neutral detergent.
• Rinse and dry carefully.
• Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is fully
automatic.
# Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly in order to
ensure that defrost water is removed correctly.
After cleaning, reconnect the appliance to the power
supply.
Do not use abrasive products.
Prolonged disuse.
• Empty the compartments.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.
• Defrost and clean.
• Leave the doors open to prevent formation of unpleasant
odours.
