reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the
appliance.
Reversible doors
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidityfree room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The
compressor and condenser give off heat and
require good ventilation to operate correctly and
save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top
part of the appliance and any furniture above it,
and at least 5 cm between the sides and any
furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources
of heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between
the appliance and the wall behind it, fit the
spacers supplied in the installation kit, following
the instructions provided.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the
refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front
feet.
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully
place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting
the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate
located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150
W).
• The voltage must be in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left
side (e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance).
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

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
internal 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.
PURE WIND
It is recognizable due to the presence of the
mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator
compartment (see diagram).
• 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.
SHELVES: with or without
grill.
1
Due to the special guides the
shelves are removable and
2
the height is adjustable (see
diagram), allowing easy
storage of large containers
and food. Height can be
adjusted without complete removal of the shelf.
BREAKFAST BOX*: This is the ideal container for
the storage of foods consumed at breakfast. It can
be removed and used at the breakfast table to serve
the food that, thanks to the special design of the
container, will maintain the correct temperature for
longer. The lid can be used as a practical tray,
simply by using the handles provided. The
Breakfast Box can also be used as a meat
container, for food products that must be wellprotected in order to be stored correctly.
Pure Wind maximises air circulation, improving the
efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve
the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as
quickly as possible each time it has been opened.
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).
The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of
water, depending on whether the compressor is in
operation or whether it is paused.
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).
* Available only on certain models.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• 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)
! 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
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical
knobs on
contact.
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.
Defrosting the appliance
! Follow the instructions below.
Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to
defrost the appliance as these may damage the
refrigeration circuit beyond repair.
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.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
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.
5. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal
storage conditions have been restored, before
placing food in the freezer compartment.
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.
1

on the cover (15W or 25W).
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
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
(appliance
temperature adjustment knobs on
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.
• 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.
Disposal
• 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 should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
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).
