the
In case of Black Out Alarm, the following actions
are recommended:
• If the food in the freezer is unfrozen but still
cold, all the food in the freezer should be
moved to the fridge compartment and eaten
within the next 24 hours.
• If the food in the freezer is frozen, this indicates
the food was thawed and then refrozen when
electricity was re-supplied which degrades
taste, quality and nutritional value and also
could be unsafe. It is recommended to not
consume the food but to dispose of the entire
content of the freezer.
The Black Out Alarm is designed to provide
guidance on food quality in the freezer in the event
of electricity black out.
This system does not guarantee food quality or
safety and consumers are advised to use their own
judgment in evaluating food quality in freezer and

UTILISATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
WATER DISPENSER AND FILTER (if present)
Water dispenser
First use
The first time you use the water dispenser or after a long period left not used wash the tank and the
filter with water. The water dispenser provides fresh, filtered water, without the need of opening the
refrigerator door. This will reduce the number of times the door is opened, thus also reducing energy
consumption of the product.
Fitting and replacing the active carbon filter
The water filter should be removed from the foil bag (found in the crisper drawer (item 7). Follow the
instructions provided with the filter.
Important: If the filter is left dry for an extended period of time, its performance may be reduced.
Immerse the filter in water for a few seconds to reinstate optimum performance.
To fill the tank, rotate the cap

Water tank (fig. 1)
The water tank is made of antibacterial material. This prevents and reduces the
proliferation of bacteria.
An internal container, with an active carbon filtered ensures water filtration.
To fill the tank: rotate the water inlet towards you and fill with water, using a jug or
other suitable container. Once the tank is full, close the water inlet by moving it back to
its original position.
Always use drinking water only: any other liquid may impair product performance.
Obtaining filtered water (fig. 2)
After filling the tank, the water may not be immediately available. This is because the
filtering process may require a few minutes (depending on the amount of water in the
tank).
To dispense water: with the refrigerator door closed, press the water dispenser tab
with the glass.
If for safety reason water delivery must be prevented, simply press the stop at the
back of the tab. To release water delivery move the stop back to its original position.It
is recommended to drink the supplied water from the dispenser in 6 hours.
Cleaning the water tank (fig. 3-4-5-6-7-8-9)
Periodically clean the water tank with running water. Twice a year it is recommended
to keep healthy the unit using specific products based on diluted chlorine that not
modify the material properties and rinse with current water.
To clean the tank, proceed as follows:
- (fig. 3) release and remove the top door tray
- (fig. 4) release and remove the water tank by lifting it and pulling towards you. Place
the tank on a flat surface, remove and wash the top cover.
Note: the tank must be refitted in its position as soon as possible, to
prevent the refrigerator from overheating.
- (fig. 5a -5b) remove the internal container and the filter, and wash them
separately. When washing the filter, only use clean water (no
detergent or sharp tools). To clean the disk filter, first remove it from
the container.
- (fig. 6) for a more thorough cleaning, remove the valve cap (the fitting
connecting the tank to the refrigerator) by rotating it anticlockwise.
Clean the cap. Important: do not pull on the valve body (fig. 7).
- (fig. 8) replace the valve cap by rotating clockwise.

STORE FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage
location for ready meals, cakes and pastries,
preserved food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit
and vegetables sensitive to cold as well as tropical
fruit.
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator
compartment results in zones with different
temperatures. It is coldest directly above the
vegetable drawers and at the rear wall. It is
warmest at the top front of the compartment.
Classification of frozen foods
Put the frozen products into the freezer and
classify them. The storage date should be
indicated on the packs, to allow use within expiry
dates preservation.
Advice for storing frozen food
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.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases
NOTE: Insufficient ventilation results in an
increase in energy consumption and reduction of
the refrigerating performance.
Advice for storing fresh food
• Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and
glass containers and cling film to wrap foods.
• Always use closed containers for liquids and for
food that may give off or be tainted by odor or
flavor transfer or cover them.
• Foods which give off a large amount ethylene
gas and those that are sensitive to this gas,
such as fruit, vegetables and salad, should
always be separated or wrapped so as not
to reduce the storage life; for example do
not store tomatoes together with kiwi fruits or
cabbage.
• Do not store food too close together to enable
sufficient air circulation.
• To ensure bottles do not tip over: move the
bottle holder.
Is recommended to arrange the food as
follows:
• On the fridge shelves: baked products, ready
meals, fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold,
small packages.
• In the cooler compartment: dairy products,
meat and sausage.
• In the fruits and vegetables crisper: vegetables,
salad, fruit.
• In the door (from top to bottom): butter, cheese,
eggs, tubes, small bottles, milk, juice cartons.
until last and transport the products in a
thermally insulated cool bag.
Important:
The table alongside shows the recommended
maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods.
MONTHS
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
You can store frozen food, make ice cubes and
freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment
The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food
that can be frozen within a 24-hour period is
indicated on the rating plate (…kg/24h)
Do not re-freeze defrosted food.

FOOD
TWIST ICE MAKER
HOW TO TAKE ICE CUBES
1. Make sure that the storage bin is in place under
the ice tray. If not, slide into place.
2. Twist one of levers firmly in the clockwise
direction until the tray twists slightly. The ice
cubes fall into the storage bin.
HOW TO MAKE ICE CUBES
You can remove the complete Twist Ice Maker
(press and hold (1) the leveler on the left and push
it (2) towards you) or you can just remove the ice
cube tray by pulling it (3) towards you.
or
Fill the tray with potable water (maximum level =
2/3 of the overall capacity).
3. Repeat Step 2 for the other half of the tray, if
necessary. You can make ice cubes (see the
chapter “HOW TO MAKE ICE CUBES”) and
store them in the storage bin and pull it towards
you.
4. To get ice, slightly lift up the storage bin and
pull it towards you.
NOTE: if you prefer, you can remove the entire
Twist Ice Maker from the appliance, to take the
ice cubes wherever is convenient for you (for
example: directly on the table).
or
Place again the Twist Ice Maker in its seat, or
reinsert the ice cube tray within the Twist Ice
Maker. Take care not to spill water.
or
Wait until the ice cubes are formed (it is
recommended to wait for about 4 hours, with the
Fast Freeze option active).
NOTE: Twist Ice Maker is removable. It can be
placed in horizontal position anywhere in the
freezer compartment or taken out of the appliance
when ice-making is not required.
26
RECOMMENDATION IN CASE OF
NO USE OF THE APPLIANCE
Power failure
In the event of a power failure, call the local office
of your electricity supply company and ask how
long it is going to last.
Note: Bear in mind that a full appliance will stay
cold longer than a partially filled one.
If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be
frozen again, although flavour and aroma may be
affected.
If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best
to throw it away.
Short vacation
There is no need to disconnect the appliance from
the power supply if you will be away for less than
three weeks. Use up perishable food, freeze other
food.
Long vacation
Remove all the food if you are going away for three
weeks or more.
1. Empty the ice bucket.
Fix some wooden or plastic wedges to the upper
part of both doors with adhesive tape and leave
the doors open enough for air to circulate inside
both compartments. This will prevent odour and
mould from setting in.
For power failures lasting up to 24 hours.
1. Keep both doors of the appliance closed. This
will allow the stored food to stay cold as long as
possible.
For power failures lasting more than 24 hours.
1. Empty the freezer compartment and arrange
the food in a portable freezer. If this type
of freezer is not available and, likewise, no
artificial ice packs are available, try to use up
the food, which is more easily perishable.
2. Empty the ice bucket.
Moving
1. Take out all internal parts.
2. Wrap them well, and fix them together with
adhesive tape so that they do not bang together
or get lost.
3. Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not
touch the support surface.
4. Close and fix both doors with adhesive tape
and, again using adhesive tape, fix the power
cable to the appliance.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
• Install the appliance in a dry, well
ventilated room far away from any heat
source (e.g. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in
a place not exposed directly to the sun.
If required, use an insulating plate.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation,
leave a space on both sides and above
the appliance. The distance between
the rear of the appliance and the wall
behind the appliance should be 50mm.
A reduction of this space will increase
the Energy consumption of product.
• Insufficient ventilation on back of the
product increases energy consumption
and decreases cooling efficiency.
• The internal temperatures of the appliance
may be affected by the ambient temperature,
frequency of door opening, as well as
location of the appliance. Temperature setting
should take into consideration these factors.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the fan with food items.
• After placing the food check if the
door of compartments closes properly,
especially the freezer door.
27
• Reduce to a minimum door opening.
• When thawing frozen food, place them in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the refrigerator.
• For appliances with special compartments
(Fresh Food Compartment, Zero
Degrees Box, …) they can be
removed when not in use.
• Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator
has no impact on the efficient usage of
energy. Food should be placed on the
shelves in such way to ensure proper
air circulation (food should not touch
each other and distance between
food and rear wall should be kept).
• You can increase the storage capacity of
frozen food by removing the flap and / or
basket (according to the Product Sheet),
maintaining the same energy consumption.
• The condenser (the coil placed in the rear of
the appliance) should be cleaned regularly.
• Damaged or leaky gasket must be
replaced as soon as possible.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation,
unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect
the electrical power supply.
Periodically clean the appliance with a cloth and a
solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent
specifically for refrigerator interiors.
Never use detergents or abrasives.
Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable
fluids.
The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Clean the outside of the appliance and the door
seal with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use steam cleaners.
Clean the condenser using a vacuum cleaner,
proceeding as follows: remove the front plinth and
proceed to clean the condenser.
Important:
• The buttons and control panel display must
not be cleaned with alcohol or alcohol-derived
substances, but with a dry cloth.
• The refrigeration system pipes are located

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Before contacting After-sales Service…
Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
Noises coming from your
appliances are normal since
it has a number of fans
and engines to regulate
performances that switch on
and off automatically.
Some of the functional noises you might hear:
A hissing sound when switching on the appliance for the first
time or after a long pause.
A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluid enters into the pipes.
Buzzing sound when water valve or fan start working.
A cracking sound when compressor starts or when ready ice
drops into ice box abrupt clicks when compressor switches on
and off.
The appliance is not
working:
• Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper
voltage?
• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of the electrical
system in your home?
• This is normal in hot, damp weather. The pan can even be half full.
Make sure the appliance is level so that the water does not overflow.
Some of the functional
noises can be reduced
through
- Levelling the appliance
and installing it on an even
surface
- Separating and avoiding
contact between the
appliance and furniture.
- Checking if the internal
components are correctly
placed.
- Checking if bottles and
containers are not in
contact with each other.
If there is water in the
defrost pan:
If the edges of the appliance • This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is running.
cabinet, which come in
contact with the door seal,
are warm to the touch:
If the light does not work:
If the motor seems to run
too much:
• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of the electrical
system in your home?
• Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper
voltage?
• Has the light bulb burnt out?
• Is the condenser (back the appliance) free of dust and fluff?
• Are the door properly closed?
• Are the door seals properly fitted?
• On hot days or if the room is warm, the motor naturally runs longer.
• If the appliance door has been left open for a while or if large
amounts of food have been stored, the motor will run longer in order
to cool down the interior of the appliance.
• Motor running time depends on different things: number of door
openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of
the temperature controls.

If the appliance temperature •
is too high:

•
Are the appliance controls correctly set?
Has a large amount of food been added to the appliance?
Check that the door is not opened too often.
Check that the door close properly.
Make sure that air flow vents inside the compartment are not
blocked, as this prevents the circulation of cold air.
If there is moisture build-up: • Make sure that air flow vents inside the compartment are not
blocked, as this prevents the circulation of air.
• Make sure that the food is properly packaged. Dry any dampness on
food containers before placing them in the appliance.
• Check that the doors are not opened too often. When the door is
opened, humidity from the room air enters the appliance. The more
often the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially
when the room itself is very humid.
• If the room is very humid, it is normal for moisture to build up inside
the refrigerator.
If the doors do not open and • Check that food packages are not blocking the door.
close properly:
• Check that the internal parts or automatic ice maker are not out of
position.
• Check that the door seals are not dirty or sticky.
• Ensure the appliance is level.
