INSTRUCTION BOOKLET

WARNINGS

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.

If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock

(latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for a child.

These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

General Safety

• This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in any way.

• Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, be sure to switch off and unplug the appliance.

• This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it

• Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed straight from the appliance.

• Take utmost care when handling your appliance so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.

• The appliance must not be located close to radiators or gas cookers.

• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.

• There must be adequate ventilation round the back of the appliance and any damage to the refrigerant circuit must be avoided.

• For freezers only (except built-in models): an ideal location is the cellar or basement.

• Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances.

Service/Repair

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person

• This product should be serviced by an authorized

Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts should be used.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local

Service Centre, and always insist on genuine spare parts.

• This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Use

• The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

• Best performance is obtained with ambient temperature between +18°C and +43°C (class T);

+18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C

(class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN). The class of your appliance is shown on its rating plate.

Warning: when the ambient temperature is not included within the range indicated for the class of this appliance, the following instructions must be observed: when the ambient temperature drops below the minimum level, the storage temperature in the freezer compartment cannot be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the food stored as soon as possible.

• Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been thawed out.

• Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

• The inner lining of the appliance consists of channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these should be punctured this would damage the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss. DO

NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using a plastic scraper. Under no circumstances should solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance.

27

• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer as it creates pressure on the container, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.

Installation

• During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in the instructions.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

Important:

if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

• If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

• There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. See installation instructions.

• Parts which heat up should not be exposed.

Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall.

Operation

After plugging the plug into the power outlet, if the display is not illuminated, press key (A), appliance on.

As soon as the appliance is turned on, the following signals will appear on the control panel:

• symbol (2) will be positive, indicating that the temperature is positive.

Activation of functions

Each time key C is pressed, the following functions are activated in a clockwise direction:

Symbol 4 : rapid freezing function.

No Symbol: Normal operation

Place the freezer thermostat control knob (D) in a middle position, and the appliance will be set up to provide the following temperature: roughly +5°C in the refrigerator.

Switching off

The appliance is shut off by holding down key (A) for more than 1 second. After this, a countdown of the temperature from -3 -2 -1 will be shown.

When the appliance is shut off, display (B) also goes off.

Use of the fridge compartment

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature

(warmer) or reduced (colder) by rotating the thermostat knob clockwise.

However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:

• room temperature;

• how often the door is opened;

• the quantity of food stored;

• location of appliance.

We suggest placing the knob in the middle position to obtain an internal temperature of approximately +5° C.

Shopping Function

If you need to insert a large amount of warm food, for example after doing the grocery shopping, we suggest activating the Shopping function to chill the products more rapidly and to avoid warming the other food which is already in the refrigerator and/or freezer.

The shopping function is activated by pressing key C

(several times if necessary) until the corresponding icon appears

The shopping function shuts off automatically after approximately 6 hours.

It is possible to de-activate the function at any time by pressing key C (see paragraph "Function Activation").

Important

If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator;

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

• Position food so that air can circulate freely round it.

Door open acoustic alarm

An acoustic alarm will sound when the door is left open for around 5 minutes.

The door open alarm conditions are indicated by:

- flashing symbol (1);

- red display illumination;

- beeping sound.

Press the button (C) to stop the acoustic alarm.

When normal conditions are restored (door closed):

- the acoustic alarm will stop.

FOOD PROTECTION

Explanation of the cold zone signs

The symbol shown here on the left indicates the coldest point inside your refrigerator.

Coldest area:

below or equal to +4°C

Meat, poultry, fish, cold cuts, ready-to-eat meals, mixed salads, egg or cream based mixes and cakes, fresh pasta, cake mixes, pizzas/quiches, fresh foods and fresh-milk cheeses, vegetables ready to be used and packed in plastic bags and all other fresh foods whose expiry date is associated with a preservation temperature below or equal to +4°C.

Temperatur indicator

Thermostat must be adjusted Right Temperature

With the temperature indicator you can keep a check that your refrigerator is working properly.

The indicator shows the "OK" symbol when the coldest area reaches a temperature that is below or equal to

4°C.

If the temperature is higher than 4°C the indicator is black so you must adjust the thermostat to make the temperature drop.

ATTENTION: Keeping the refrigerator door open for a long time will cause the internal temperature to rise. To measure the temperature correctly, it should be read on the indicator within 30 seconds.

31

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.

To make these adjustments proceed as follows:

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required.

HINTS

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types):

wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..:

these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables:

these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.

Butter and cheese:

these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles:

these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

32

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operstion will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.

Interior light

If it becomes necessary to replace the lamp, press on the rear hook and at the same time slide the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Attention:

Replace the lamp with one of the same power (the maximum power is shown on the light diffuser).

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions: remove the plug from the wall socket; remove all food; defrost and clean the interior and all accessories; leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent unpleasant smells.

Defrosting

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
