SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the
shelves are remova le and the
height is adjusta le (see
diagram), allowing easy storage
of large containers and food.
Height can e adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
MULTI-USE in: to store food
(such as cold meats) for a long
time and also prevent odours
from lingering in the refrigerator.
It can e removed for use and it
may e shifted sideways to
optimise space (see diagram).
FRESH BOX: for fresh meat
and fish. Due to the
compartments low temperature
(the coldest in the refrigerator)
and to the clear door that
provides protection against
oxidation and lackening, food
can e stored for even up to one
week. It can also e used for
cold meals.
C N R CK shelf: stores cans
horizontally (see diagram).
Yoghurt, utter or general
containers may also e stored
here.
ODOUR FILTER: Some
models are fitted with a new
odour filter with active car ons,
which ensures etter air quality
inside the refrigerator.
The filter is located on the
ottom right-hand side, inside
the ventilation opening.
Freezer compartment
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 y 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 cu es
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).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray
ack.
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 cu es come loose and take
them out through the opening.

illuminate. Once the refrigerator has reached the optimal
temperature, the indicator light goes out and you can
egin food storage.
Chiller system
No Frost
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
lock the aeration cells y placing food or containers in
direct contact with the refrigerating ack panel. Close
ottles and wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
 Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION kno to adjust
the temperature (see Description).
 Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment,
not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
 Remem er 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 ought your food, remove all external
packaging made of paper/card oard or other
wrappers, which could introduce acteria or dirt inside
your refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perisha le items
and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid
contact etween them, there y removing oth the
possi ility of germ/ acteria 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 etween different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to
use oxidiser or a rasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the
refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily
perisha le items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.)
should e stored in the coldest zone of the fridge
compartment, i.e. just a ove the salad crisper where
the temperature indicator is situated.

(within 24 hours).
 Fresh food that needs to e frozen must not come into
contact with food that has already een defrosted. Fresh
food must e stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE
compartment where the temperature drops elow -18°C and
guarantees rapid freezing.
 Do not place glass ottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer ecause they
could reak.
 The maximum quantity of food that may e frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located on the ottom left side of the refrigerator compartment
(for example: Kg/24h: 4).
 To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):
press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE utton
(corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates), insert the
food and close the door. The function is disa led
automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures
have een reached (indicator light goes out);

compartment, it is advisa le not to o struct the ventilation
holes with food or containers.
! 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.
Holiday function
To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not
necessary to switch the appliance off. The appliance has a
function which allows it to maintain the temperature of the
refrigerator compartment at approximately 15°C (which
can also e used to conserve make-up and eauty
products). The freezer temperature must e set to the

- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and
su sequent amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic
Compati ility) and su sequent 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 e used to store and freeze food
products y adults only and according to the instructions in
this manual.
 The appliance must not e 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 are feet or with wet or
moist hands and feet.
 Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could
cause skin a rasions or frost/freezer urns.
 When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from
the mains socket, do not pull on the ca le.
 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 kno s on
OFF (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 y inexperienced persons may cause
injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.
 Do not use utensils other than the scraper provided, or
electrical equipment which is not of the type specified y
the manufacturer, inside the frozen food storage
compartments.
 Do not put ice cu es 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 e
allowed to sit on the ins or to hang from the door.
 Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can
ecome a choking or suffocation hazard.
Disposal
 O serve 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 e disposed of
in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must e 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 in sym ol on
the product reminds you of your o ligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must e 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 e 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 de ris and to prevent cold air from
escaping (see Maintenance).
