please read these operating instructions carefull .
The contain important information for safe use, for
installation and for care of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the
appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidit -
free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor
and condenser give off heat and require good
ventilation to operate correctl and save energ .
3. Ensure the appliance is awa from an sources of
heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefull
place it verticall and wait at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the electricit 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.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance).
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power
suppl cable and the electrical socket must be easil
accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularl and replaced
b authorised technicians onl (see Assistance).
!The manufacturer declines any liability should
these safety measures not be observed.

Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the
installation instructions (see Installation).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm
water and bicarbonate.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
internal light illuminates.
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an
average value. After a few hours ou will be able to
put food in the refrigerator.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automaticall adjusts itself according to the position of
the thermostat knob.
1 = warmest 5 = coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside
the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for
increased space and improved aesthetics. During
operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or water
droplets depending on whether the compressor is
operating or paused. Do not worr , the refrigerator is
functioning normall .
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set
on high values with large quantities of food and with a
high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate
continuousl , resulting in excessive frost formation and
excessive energ consumption: compensate for this b
shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will
occur automaticall ).
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural wa :
the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier.
The food should be stored as follows:

 Place onl cold or lukewarm foods in the
compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and

 Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than
raw foods.
 Do not store liquids in open containers. The will
increase humidit in the refrigerator and cause
condensation to form.

Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessar to
disconnect the appliance from the electricit suppl :
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment
knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical
contact.
Cleaning the appliance
 The external and internal parts, as well as the
rubber seals ma be cleaned using a sponge that
has been soaked in lukewarm water and
bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use
solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.
 The removable accessories ma be soaked in
warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse
and dr them carefull .
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
 The appliance is manufactured with h gienic
materials which are odour free. In order to maintain
an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the
formation of stains, food must alwa s be covered or
sealed properl .
 If ou want to switch the appliance off for an
extended period of time, clean the inside and leave
the doors open.
Defrosting the appliance
It is advisable now and then to remove the frost which
forms on the evaporator.
Take care to not use sharp objects for this purpose
since the could pierce the refrigeration circuit and
permanentl damage the appliance.
Proper cleaning is ver important in order to
guarantee that the refrigerator operates efficientl and
does not consume excess energ needlessl .
To defrost the evaporator completel , turn the
thermostat knob on . The water from the frost will
collect in the special tra .
When finished, dr the tra and put it back in place.
To start the appliance again, turn the thermostat knob
to the appropriate setting.

General safety
 The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial
use.
 The appliance must be used to store and freeze food
products b adults onl and according to the
instructions in this manual.
 The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremel dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
 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 alwa s pull the plug
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
 Before cleaning and maintenance, alwa s switch off the
appliance and disconnect it from the electrical suppl . 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 ou attempt to repair the appliance ourself.
Repairs carried out b inexperienced persons ma
cause injur or further malfunctioning of the appliance.
 Do not use an sharp or pointed utensils or electrical
equipment - other than the t pe recommended b the
manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage
compartments.
 Do not put ice cubes taken directl from the freezer into
our mouth.
 This appliance is not intended for use b persons
(including children) with reduced ph sical, sensor or
lack of experience and knowledge unless the have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance b a person responsible for their safet .
Children should be supervised to ensure that the do not
pla with the appliance.
 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 rec cling
purposes.
 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 separatel in order to optimise the
recover and rec cling of the materials the contain
and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment. The crossed out wheeled bin
s mbol on the product reminds ou of our
obligation, that when ou dispose of the appliance
it must be separatel 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.
 Tr to avoid keeping the door open for long periods
or opening the door too frequentl in order to
conserve energ .
 Do not fill the appliance with too much food:
cold air must circulate freel for food to be
preserved properl . If circulation is impeded, the
compressor will work continuousl .
 Do not place hot food directl into the refrigerator.
The internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energ .
 Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see
Maintenance). A thick la er of ice makes cold
transference to food products more difficult and
results in increased energ consumption.
 Regularl check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure the are free of debris and to prevent cold
air from escaping (see Maintenance).
