Start-up and use
GB
Starting the appliance
! 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.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
POWER indicator light illuminates.
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an
average value. After a few hours you will be able to
put food in the refrigerator.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of
the thermostat knob.
1 = warmest
5 = coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside
the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for
increased space and improved aesthetics. During
operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or water
droplets depending on whether the compressor is
operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is
functioning normally.
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 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).
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:

Arrangement inside the
refrigerator
Fresh fish and meat
Fresh cheese
Above the fruit and vegetable bins

• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in
the compartment, not hot foods ( see
Precautions
and
tips ).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than
raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause
condensation to form.
If ambient temperature is less than +15°C You can
activate switch in the light box to have correct
temperature in both compartments till ambient
temperature will be higher than
+15°C. Note: Energy
Consumption will be increased.
If You can see condensate on
the top of fridge compartment
You can activate the same
switch till condensate will be
excluded. Note: Energy
Consumption will be increased.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the
shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable (see
diagram), allowing easy storage
of large containers and food.
Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
Using the freezer to its full potential
FAST FREEZE and LOW AMBIENT switch
• 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 above the grill
in the freezer compartment and if possible be in
direct contact with the walls (side and rear), 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)
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the
freezer compartment, you may remove the bins
and place the food directly onto the refrigerator.
The appliance is fitted with a manual "Fast Freezer and
Low Ambiant" switch.
When loading fresh food to freeze switch "Fast Freeze
and Low Anbiant" on.
To set "Fast Freeze and Low Ambient" ON, press the
GB
switch to "
"
This switch activates intensive cooling to ensure that
required temperatures are reached quickly.
So when the fresh food is frozen return the switch to its
".
OFF position, "
Note: for Energy Saving ensure that "Fast Freeze and
Low Ambient" is switched off after 24 hours.
For the refrigerator to operate properly the "Fast Freeze
and Low Ambient" button must be ON when room
temperature is 16°C or lower.
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer
compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the
ventilation holes with food or containers.
! 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.
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an
extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not
be reached in the freezer compartment and food
preservation will be reduced.

Maintenance and care
GB
Switching the appliance off
Replacing the light bulb
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs
on OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment,
pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the
instructions below.
Cleaning the appliance
Access the light bulb (A) by unscrewing the fixing screw
(B) which is located at the back of the lampcover, as
shown (see diagram). Replace it with a similar light bulb,
the power of which should not exceed 15W.
• 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.
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.

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.
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
• 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.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or
moist hands and feet.
• 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.
• 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 OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
• 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.
• Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical
equipment - other than the type recommended by the
manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage
compartments.
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into
your mouth.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can
become a choking or suffocation hazard.
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.
Consumers may take their old appliance to public
waste collection areas, other communal collection
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a
retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are
active in the creation of systems to manage the
collection and disposal of old appliances.
Respecting and conserving the environment
• 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.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve
energy.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping (see Maintenance).

There is water at the bottom of the
refrigerator.
• The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).
Some of the external parts of the
refrigerator become hot.
The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
The doors are opened too frequently.
The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position
The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.
• These raised temperatures are necessary in order to avoid the
formation of condensation on certain parts of the product.
• This shows the appliance is operating normally.
The back wall of the refrigerator
unit is covered in frost or droplets
of water.
• The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).

• Make sure that the “Fast Freeze switch” (see pag 7 for details) is
NOT in the ‘ON’ position, this will cause 100% run. If switch is not
in ON position and severe icing persists, set temperature
regulating knob (see pag 5 for details) to lower position.
• Excess moisture / Ice will occur if the Larder door is opened for
prolonged periods. This will disappear once the door is closed and
the Larder allowed to defrost and drain the moisture away. This is
normal for cooling function of the Larder compartment, especially
in summer period.
• If room temperature is 7 C or lower, (for example the product is
located in a garage or out building), for the refrigerator to operate
correctly the “Fast Freeze switch” must be in the ‘ON’ position (see
