storing fresh food and beverages and use the
freezer compartment only for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food and making ice
cubes.
• Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the
appliance.
• Do not store liquids in glass containers in the
freezer compartment - danger of bursting.
• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately

Information
Appliances with isobutane (R600a)
Isobutane is a natural gas having low
environmental impact. Caution is required,
however, because Isobutane is inflammable.
Therefore, ensure that the pipelines of the
refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.
This appliance has two motors which allow
independent operation and control of the
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is
completely automatic.
The refrigerator can operate at ambient
temperatures between +10°C and +38°C.
Optimal peformance is obtained at temperatures
between +16°C and +32°C.
Switching on the appliance
Press the refrigerator compartment "ON"
button (1).
• The inside light switches on when the
refrigerator door is opened.
• An acoustic alarm sounds when the door has
been left open for more than 1 minute;
it will switch off when the door is closed.
• Green LED (2) switches on, indicating
operation of the refrigerator compartment.
Important:
• There is no need to adjust the compartment
temperature using the thermostat knob or set
the temperature using the button
(in electronic models), as the temperature is
factory set (+5° for electronic models)
to ensure the correct storage temperature for
fresh foods at ambient temperatures
between +20°C and +25°C.
• After being switched on, the refrigerator
needs approx. 30 minutes to reach the
correct temperature to store a typical volume
of food in the refrigerator compartment.
