GUIDELINES CONCERNING
THE SAFETY OF USE
• The appliance is intended for household use only.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce
changes which do not aect the operation of the ap-
pliance.
• Some provisions in this user manual are unied for
refrigerating products of dierent types (for a refrig-
erator, refrigerator-freezer or freezer)
• The Manufacturer shall not be held liable for damage
arising from the failure to observe the instructions
contained in this manual.
• Keep this manual for future reference, or to pass it
over to the next user.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (in-
cluding children) with limited physical or mental ca-
pabilities and persons who lack experience or famili-
arity with the appliance.
• Do not allow children to use the appliance. Do not
allow them to play with the appliance. They must not
climb inside the drawers and swing on the doors.
• The appliance operates properly at the ambient tem-
perature (see product che). Do not use it in the cel-

(g.2).
• Pull the plug out from the mains socket before each

- 9 -
maintenance activity. Do not pull on the cord, but
hold the body of the plug instead.
• The “cracking” sound, which the appliance may emit
is caused by the expansion and contraction of parts
as a result of temperature variations.
• For safety reasons do not repair the appliance your-
self. Repairs carried out by persons who do not have
the required qualications may result in serious dan-
ger for the user of the appliance.
• Air the room in which the appliance is placed for a few
minutes (the size of the room for a product contain-
ing isobuthane/R600a must be at least 4m3) to avoid
damage to the cooling system.
• Do not refreeze partly thawed products.
• Do not store beverages in bottles and cans, especially
carbonated beverages, in the freezer chamber. The
cans and the bottles may explode.
• Do not put frozen products, taken out directly from
the freezer (lollies, ice cubes, etc.) into your mouth,
their low temperature may cause severe frostbite.
• Make sure you do not damage the cooling system,
by puncturing the refrigerant pipes in the evaporator
or breaking the pipes. The refrigerant is ammable.
If the refrigerant makes contact with the eyes, rinse
them with clean water and call for medical assistance

CONTROLS
Appliance controls
The control panel is shown in gure 10. For reference it is also shown
below:
Adjust temperature inside the appliance
Turn the dial to adjust the temperature in the appliance:
OFF/0 position Appliance is o
Setting Cold The highest temperature inside the appliance
(warmer)
Settings Normal Medium temperature inside the appliance
Setting Colder The lowest temperature inside the appliance
(cooler)
Note:
• The temperature control dial in your appliance can be marked dif-
ferently than in this manual. The general principle of operation is
described above.
• If there is no position marked "OFF" or "0” on the dial, turn o your
appliance by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet. Before
unplugging set the lowest setting on the temperature control dial.

- 18 -
Additional information on the temperature
• The temperature inside the appliance is inuenced by many factors.
How you set the temperature control dial depends on the ambient
temperature, sun exposure, how often you open the door and the
amount of food stored. The middle setting of the dial is most optimal
in most cases.
• Do not put food into the fridge freezer before it has reached its oper-
ating temperature, which takes minimum 4 hours.
• Do not change the temperature settings due to the change in the
season of the year. The ambient temperature increase will be detect-
ed by the sensor and the compressor will be switched on automati-
cally for a longer period of time in order to maintain the temperature
set inside the chambers.
• The slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal and may oc-
cur, for instance during the storage of great quantities of fresh prod-
ucts in the fridge, or when the door is open for a longer period of
time. This will not aect the condition of the stored foodstu, and the
temperature will quickly return to its set value.

- 19 -
OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
Storage of food in the fridge-freezer
• The products should be placed on plates, in containers or packed in
food wrap. Distribute them evenly over the shelves.
• If the food contacts the rear wall, it may cause frosting or wetting of
the products.
• Do not put dishes with hot food into the fridge
• Products which absorb avours easily such as butter, milk, white
cheese and products with intense avour, such as sh, smoked meat,
hard cheese must be placed on shelves, packed in food wrap or in
tightly sealed containers.
• The storage of vegetables containing signicant quantities of water
will cause the deposition of condensation on the vegetable contain-
ers, it does not impact on the proper functioning of the fridge.
• Before putting the vegetables into the fridge, dry them well.
• Excessive moisture shortens the shelf life of vegetables, especially
the leafed vegetables.
• Do not wash the vegetables before storing in the refrigerator. Wash-
ing removes the natural protection, therefore it is better to wash the
vegetables directly before consumption.
• It is recommended to place the products in freezer drawers 1, 2, 3*
up to natural loading capacity (Fig. 11a / 11b).**
1. Packed products
2. Shelf
3. Natural loading capacity
4.
!
• Stacking of products on the freezer shelves is acceptable.*
• It is acceptable to place products beyond the natural loading capacity
by 20-30 mm.**
• In order to increase the loading capacity of the freezer chamber and
allow the stacking of products on the freezer evaporator wire shelves
up to maximum height it is possible to remove drawers 1 and 2.*
Freezing food**
• Practically all the food products, except for vegetables consumed
raw, such as lettuce can be frozen.
• Only food products of the highest quality, divided into small portions
for single use, should be frozen.
• Products should be packed in materials that are odourless, resistant
to air and moisture penetration, and not susceptible to fat. Plastic
bags, polyethylene and aluminium sheets are the best wrapping ma-
terials.
• The packaging should be tight and should stick to the frozen prod-
ucts. Do not use glass containers.
• Keep fresh and warm foodstu at ambient temperature away from
the products, which have already been frozen.
• We advise you not to place more of fresh food at a time to the freezer
per day (see table witch technical specication).

- 20 -
• In order to maintain optimum quality of the frozen food, reorganise
the food that is in the middle of the freezer, so that it does not touch
the products that are not yet frozen.
• It is recommended that you move the already frozen products to one
side and place the fresh products that are to be frozen on the oppo-
site side, as close to the rear and side walls as possible.
• To freezing products, use space marked
!
.
• Bear in mind that the temperature in the freezer is aected by sev-
eral factors, including the ambient temperature and the quantity of
food products in the chamber, the frequency of opening the door, the
amount of frost in the freezer, and the thermostat setting.
• If you cannot open the freezer door immediately after closing it, al-
low 1-2 minutes for the negative pressure to compensate, and try
again to open the door.
The storage time for frozen products depends on their quality before
freezing when fresh, and on the storage temperature. The following stor-
age periods are recommended when the temperature of -18°C or lower
is maintained:
Products Months
Beef 6-8
Veal 3-6
Giblets 1-2
Pork 3-6
Poultry 6-8
Eggs 3-6
Fish 3-6
Vegetables 10-12
Fruit 10-12
Do not store frozen food in rapid cooling chamber. Ice cubes can be pre-
pared and stored in this chamber.
Note: If the appliance does not have a freezer compartment (
!
), it
is not suitable for freezing foodstus.
* Applicable to appliances with a freezer compartment at the bottom of the appliance.
** Applicable to appliances with a freezer compartment
