OVERVIEW
USER GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The drawers, baskets and shelves should be kept
in their current position unless otherwise specified
in this quick guide. The light system inside the
refrigerator compartment uses LEDs light, allowing a
better lighting than traditional light bulbs as well as a
very low energy consumption.
DISPOSAL
Doors and lids of the refrigeration appliance should
be removed before disposal in the landfill, to avoid
children or animals getting trapped inside.

FAN
The Fan improves temperature distribution inside
the product, allowing better preservation of stored
food and reduction of excess humidity. By default,
the fan is switched on. You can turn the fan on/off
by pressing for 3 seconds Fast Freeze and Freezer
buttons. The display light will flash and a sound
signal is activated one time if the fan is OFF or the
display light will flash and a sound signal is activated
two times if the fan is ON. If the ambient temperature
exceeds 27°C, or if drops of water are present on the
glass shelves, it is essential that the fan is on to ensure
the proper preservation of the food. Deactivation of
the fan allows energy consumption to be optimised.
Note: the fan restarts automatically after a power cut or after
turning off the appliance. Do not obstruct the air intake area
with food items.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
The display may alternately show the refrigerator
compartment temperature (between 2°C and 8°
C) or the temperature of the freezer compartment
(between -16°C and -24°C).
FRIDGE COMPARTMENT TEMPERATURE
It is possible to set a different temperature of the
appliance by pressing the button.
TURNING OFF THE SOUND ALARM
To turn off the sound alarm, briefly press the
button.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT TEMPERATURE
It is possible to set a different temperature of the
appliance by pressing the button.
FAST FREEZE
Press the button 24 hours before putting large
quantities of food to freeze in the freezing zone.
When the function is turned on the icon lights up.
The function turns off automatically after 48 hours, or
manually by pressing the button again.
FAST COOL
Press the button before placing a large quantity of
fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. When the
function is turned on the icon light up. The function
turns off automatically after 6 hours, or manually by
pressing the button again.
VACATION
You can use this function in the event of your
prolonged absence. Press the button for 3 seconds
to turn the function on. The display will show the
temperature of the refrigerator compartment
(+12°C) and the icon will light up. After activating
the function, remove the food from the refrigerator
compartment and keep both doors closed - the
refrigerator will maintain a suitable temperature to
prevent odours from forming. The freezer, however,
remains at the set temperature. To turn off the
function press the botton for 3 seconds.
To avoid an increase of food waste, refer to recommended
setting and Storage Time in OPERATION chapter

OPERATION
FIRST TIME USE
Wait at least two hours, after the installation, before connecting the appliance to the power supply. Connect
the appliance to the power supply it starts the operation automatically. The ideal storage temperatures for the
food are preset in the factory.
After turning the appliance on, you must wait for 4-6 hours for the correct storage temperature to be
reached for a normally filled appliance. If the audible signal sounds, it means that the temperature alarm has
intervened: press the button to switch off the acoustic alarms.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT AND FOOD STORAGE
The refrigerator compartment allows for the storage of fresh food and drink. The refrigerator compartment
defrosts completely automatically. The occasional presence of drops of water on the internal back wall of the
compartment is a sign of the automatic defrosting phase. The defrosting water is channelled into a drain and
then collected in a container, where it evaporates.
Note: the ambient temperature, how often the doors are opened and the position of the appliance may affect the internal
temperatures in the two compartments. Set the temperatures depending on these factors. In very humid conditions,
condensation may form in the refrigerator compartment, especially on the glass shelves. In this case, it is recommended that
you close containers with liquids in (e.g. a pot of stock), wrap up food with a high water content (e.g. vegetables) and turn on
the fan, if there is one. All of the drawers, door shelves and shelves can be removed.
AIR VENTILATION
The ventilation air allows a better distribution of the temperatures inside the compartments and, consequently,
better preservation of the food and reduction of excess humidity. Do not obstruct the ventilation area.
LIGHT SYSTEM DEPENDING ON MODEL
This product contains 4 lateral light sources of energy efficiency class A and a top light source
of energy class G
HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGES
Foods which give off a large amount ethylene gas (apples, apricots, pears, peaches, avocado, figs, prunes,
blueberries, mellons, beans) and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit vegetables and salad, should
always be separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for example do not store tomatoes
together with kiwi fruits or cabbage. Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient air circulation.
Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass containers and cling film to wrap foods.
If you have a little quantity of food to store in the refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves above the
crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the coolest area of the compartment. Always use closed containers
for liquids and for food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer or cover them. To avoid bottles
falling over, you can use the bottle holder (available on selected models).
0°C COMPARTMENT / COLD ZONE
The drawer is specifically designed to maintain a low temperature to preserve fresh food for longer time (for
example , fresh pasta, sour cream, pesto/salsa,homemade preparation,pastry cream, pudding, cream cheese,
cold cuts, desserts, meat and fish).
The internal temperature of the drawer is between +3 °C and -2 °C. For the correct functioning of the drawer, it
is necessary that Vacation mode option is not selected.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT FOOD STORAGE
The freezer compartment allows long time storage of frozen food and freezing of fresh food. The
quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in
the freezing area inside the freezer compartment, leaving enough space around the food packages to allow air
to circulate freely. It is advisable that you do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted. It is important to
wrap the food in a way that prevents the ingress of water, humidity or condensation.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
1. It is advisable to set the temperature colder or turn on the Fast Freeze/Fast Cool at least four hours before
removing the food from the freezer compartment, to rolong the preservation of the food during the
defrosting phase.
2. To defrost, unplug the appliance and remove the drawers. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt.
To prevent the water from escaping during the defrost, it is advised that you place an absorbent cloth on
the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out regularly.
3. Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it carefully.
4. Turn the appliance back on and put the food back inside.
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a specific time period is indicated on the rating plate.
Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves etc. Make sure that these components can still
close easily after loading.

ICE CUBES
Fill 2/3 of the ice tray with water and put it back in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed
objects to remove the ice under any circumstances.
REMOVING THE DRAWERS
Pull the drawers outwards as far as they will go, lift them up and remove them. To get more volume, the freezer
compartment can be used without the drawers.Make sure that the door is closed properly after putting the
food back on the grilles/shelves.
