Positioning and connection

Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free
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 rear feet.

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.

MULTI-USE* bin: to store food (such as cold meats)

for a long time and also prevent odours from lingering
in the refrigerator.

2. If the word OK does not appear it means that the

temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR
OPERATION knob to a higher (colder) position and
wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has
stabilised.

FLEX COOL BOX*

This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese
fresh. When positioned in the lower part of the fridge
compartment, it is ideal for meat and fish; when moved
to the top part of the fridge, it is perfect for cheese. It
can be taken out of the fridge when it is not needed.

3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it

following the initial process. If large quantities of food
have been added or if the refrigerator door has been
opened frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to
show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the
REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.

PLAY ZONE*: Thanks to the new Play Zone bottle

rack, you can cool several bottles, cans and energy
drinks quickly to have them constantly at hand.

If the Play Zone is placed on the glass shelf, you can

store large and medium sized bottles on it simply by
laying the bottle on the flat rack. This is ideal for storing
wine bottles. When folded and secured in place on
either side of the shelf, the rack can be used to store
cans (at the top), energy drinks (in the centre) and
other cans and energy drinks can be rested horizontally
on the remaining part of the shelf. When placing cans
(onto the Play zone rack), make sure they do not touch
the back of the refrigerator interior.
The Play Zone can be used just like a normal shelf
(when placed flat) and moved up or down along the
fridge walls together with the rest of the shelf. It can be
washed easily, and is also dishwasher safe. The ideal
position for the Play zone rack is the central shelf.

Varies by number and/or position.

Start-up and use

GB

Starting the appliance

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation

instructions (see Installation).

Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust

the temperature (see Description).

! Before connecting the appliance, clean the

compartments and accessories well with lukewarm
water and bicarbonate.
! The appliance comes with a motor protection control
system which makes the compressor start approximately
8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also
starts each time the power supply is cut off whether
voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on .
2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
green POWER indicator light illuminates.
3. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average
value and press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid
freezing): the SUPER FREEZE indicator light will
illuminate. Once the refrigerator has reached the
optimal temperature, the indicator light goes out and
you can begin food storage.
4. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an
average value. After a few hours you will be able to put
food in the refrigerator.

Chiller system
No Frost
It is recognisable by
aeration cells located on
the back walls of the
compartments.
The No Frost system
circulates cold air
continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice
and frost formation. The
system maintains an
optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the
original quality of the food, preventing the food from
sticking together and making defrosting a thing of the
past. Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or
containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back
panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower

the temperature quickly. For example, when you place
a large number of new food items inside a fridge the
internal temperature will rise slightly. The function
quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing
the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
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.

Food hygiene

1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external

packaging made of paper/cardboard or other
wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt
inside your refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items
and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid
contact between them, thereby removing both the
possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as
the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge.
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can
circulate freely between different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not
to use oxidiser or abrasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the
refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily
perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.)
should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge
compartment, i.e. just above the salad crisper where
the temperature indicator is situated.

Using the freezer to its full potential

Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature (see Description).
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 in the top FREEZER and
STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops
below -18C and guarantees rapid freezing.
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the
freezer compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct
the ventilation holes with food or containers.

Ice3 ice tray

The fact that they are situated on the top part of the
freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no
longer comes into contact with the food placed inside
the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of
the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the
hole after filling with water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.
Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with
water through the opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes
from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to
melt and empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90: due to the connected compartments
each mould fills with water (see diagram).

Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and

which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer
because they could break.

4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the
tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding
housing and allowing it to drop in again.

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).

5. When the ice has formed (minimum time

approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard
surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes
come loose and take them out through the opening.

To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):

press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button
(corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates), insert the
food and close the door. The function is disabled
automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures
have been reached (indicator light goes out);

MAX
WATER LEVEL

! 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.

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..

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 appliance must be used to store and freeze food

products by adults only and according to the
instructions in this manual.

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.

The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in

covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.

Respecting and conserving the

environment

General safety
The appliance was designed for domestic use inside
the home and is not intended for commercial or
industrial use.

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 (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 devices or tools other than the special
scraper provided inside the 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.

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).
