FUNCTIONS

MULTIFRESH SYSTEM
If your refrigerator has a Multifresh compartment:
➭This guarantees ideal conservation of fresh food
such as meat, fish, and also vegetables, allowing
these items to be conserved for longer periods of
time without having to freeze them.
➭This area has the coldest temperatures in the
refrigerator and is also the area least affected by
frequent opening.
➭For meat and fish, an intermediate refrigerator temperature is recommended.
➭For greater capacity in the refrigerator, remove the top rack and cover, and store
directly on the tray. This area loses the benefits outlined above.
8
"Holiday Function" ➡➡Used when you want the freezer to work normally and the
refrigerator to be switched off when you do not plan to use it for a long period of
time, for example, during the holiday period. Before enabling this option, empty the
refrigerator, clean it and close the door. Then activate this function to ensure that
your refrigerator is maintained in optimum conditions to avoid generating
unpleasant odors. When you come back from your holidays, simply deactivate the
function and the temperature in the refrigerator will drop once again to pre-selected
level.
To activate or desactivate the holiday function:
LED control panel
Press the holiday function button and close the refrigerator door.
Digital control panel
Press the + or – button used for selecting the refrigerator temperature until the
letter H (Holiday) appears on the refrigerator display.
➭Leave enough space between food items to let air to flow around them.
➭Do not leave the door open longer than necessary.
➭Do not put hot food in the refrigerator.
➭Do not obstruct the ventilation grills.(Fig.4)
➭
To prevent food stored from drying out, we
recommend that you place them in an airtight
container or wrap them in aluminium foil or plastic
food wrap.

BIO FILTER
Function
The refrigerator may be equipped with a filter that absorbs any unpleasant smells
produced by the food, and retains microorganisms (mold and bacteria) from the
circulating air.
Location
The BIO FILTER is located on the inside of the reflector
cover on the refrigerator light.
Activation
If your refrigerator has a BIO FILTER, the procedure for
activating it is as follows:
1.- Press the top tab and remove the light reflector cover
(Fig.5).
2.- Separate the filter from the cover (Fig.6) and remove
the seals by pulling on the red tabs (Fig.7).
3.- Then press on the BIO FILTER window until you hear a click. After a few
seconds the time scale will begin to color in (Fig.8).
4.- Put the filter back in place and fit the cover into its corresponding recess
(first, position the lower part and then click the top part into place.)
DOUBLE FRESH SYSTEM
Your refrigerator is fitted with this system. The top rack covering the fruit and
vegetable baskets has a membrane filter maintaining a high level of humidity in the
baskets. The humidity level provided is ideal to ensure that vegetables do not dry
out, ensuring that they retain all their texture, flavor and nutritional value.

Fig.7Fig.6 Fig.8

Duration and replacement
The BIO FILTER only maintains its properties for a certain time (approx. 6
months). The BIO FILTER window shows when it needs changing (Fig.9). To
replace it, follow the activation directions on previous page. Replacement parts
can be purchased in the shop where you bought your refrigerator. The code
993010246 will be printed on the rear of the filter.
Fig.9
Caution
➭ Keep all replacement parts and used BIO FILTERs out of reach of
children. They could be dangerous if swallowed.
➭ Do not get the BIO FILTER wet, as it will lose its properties.
10
➭The amount of food to be frozen at once must not exceed the freezing power
indicated on the specifications plate.
➭Ensure that your food to be frozen is in good condition.
➭Observe the best-by date.
➭To prevent the food from drying out, wrap it in aluminium foil or plastic wrap.
➭Do not put food to be frozen in contact with food already frozen.
➭Never refreeze thawed food.
➭Freeze in daily servings.
➭Do not store bottles with carbonated drinks or glass bottles containing liquids in
the freezer. They may burst.
➭Do not eat very cold ice-cream or food; this may burn your mouth.
➭Label the wrapping, indicating the contents and the freezing date.
➭For maximum volume, we suggest that you remove the ice tray.
➭For best energy yield, keep the ice-cube holder full, along with the ice holder on
the upper basket tray.

ENGLISH
DEFROSTING
➭No-Frost refrigerators do not generate layers of frost or ice, which means that no
operations are required for their elimination.
DEFROSTING FOOD
Not all food should be defrosted in the same way
➭If you have bought frozen food, follow the instructions on the package.
➭Vegetables should be cooked directly from freezer.
➭In general, prepared or pre-cooked foods can be cooked directly from freezer.
➭Meat and fish must be defrosted slowly in the refrigerator over several hours. If
you have a microwave, this can speed this considerably.
CLEANING:
➭Switch off the refrigerator using the ON/OFF button before
starting to clean it.
➭Clean the interior with water and baking soda, with a sponge
or cloth, this will prevent the formation of odors.
➭Never use steam cleaning machines, solvents or
abrasive detergents. This may damage the inside of your refrigerator. Do not
place the inside fittings in the dishwasher.
➭It is recommended that the rear grill be cleaned once a year using a vacuum
cleaner. If it is dusty and dirty, that reduces the refrigerator’s performance and
increases its consumption.
5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
11
➭Fill the trays in the freezer up to three quarters, with water.
➭Place the trays in the freezer.
➭Once the water has frozen, the cubes can be removed by
twisting the tray slightly. Store the cubes in the ice
compartment.
ICE-MAKING:

12
CHANGING THE LIGHT
➭Switch the refrigerator off.
➭Remove the light reflector cover by pressing the top tab.
➭
Remove the bulb and replace it with another of the same type,
screw type E14, 110-120V, with a maximum of 15 W.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF APOWER OUTAGE:
➭If possible, do not open the refrigerator doors.
➭When power is restored, check to see if the food has unfrozen.
➭Consume any defrosted food immediately. Do not re-freeze!
WHAT TO DO IF THE REFRIGERATOR IS NOT TO BE
USED FOR ALONG PERIOD OF TIME:
➭Empty the refrigerator.
➭Switch off and clean the appliance as described in the Cleaning section.
➭Leave the doors open to prevent formation of unwanted odors.
➭HOLIDAY function: If your refrigerator is to be out of use for any length of time
and you wish to keep food in the freezer, you may switch off the appliance and
activate the HOLIDAY function, leaving the door closed. The refrigerator will
then function at a very low rate of consumption and no bad odors will be
produced.
➭The refrigerating gas may produce bubbling sounds as it
flows through the circuits.
➭The compressor may buzz and/or produce slight knocking,
which maybe more marked on starting.
➭Cracking sounds produced by expansion and contraction of
the materials used.
➭The insulation used amplifies sound levels.
➭You may hear a gentle murmur when your refrigerator is switched on. This is
due to the working fan incorporated to ensure adequate air circulation inside the
appliance.
➭You will note the effect of the fan in the freezer, which cools the whole of the
refrigerator evenly.
