outstanding long life and reliability of our product.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator compartment of your new appliance is designed for

storing fresh food and the freezer compartment (if provided) for storing

frozen food and freezing small amounts of fresh food. The appliance

must be installed in an area where the room temperature is suited to the

relative climatic class.

Refer to the rating plate inside the appliance.

This appliance does not contain HFCs (replaced with R600a –

Isobutane). For more information, refer to the identification data plate

affixed to the appliance.

SAFETY WARNINGS

• It is strictly forbidden to use the following items

inside or near the appliance:

• electrical appliances with electrical motor (e.g.

blenders, hair driers to speed up defrosting);

• naked flames;

• elements that may produce sparks;

• flammable materials.

• Particular care must be taken to ensure that the

refrigerant pipelines at the rear of the appliance are

not damaged.

• Make sure that the air vent, installed on the worktop

in the freestanding model, is not covered.

Leave at least 20 cm clearance above the vent.

• Before any cleaning or maintenance operation,

unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect

the electrical power supply.

• The appliance must be installed in a well-ventilated

place.

• Do not allow children to play with the packaging

materials - risk of suffocating.

• In the event that the refrigerant pipelines are

damaged and gas is released, the room where the

appliance is installed must be aired for a few

minutes.

• Do not store gas or flammable liquids inside the

appliance - risk of explosion.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

1.Packing

The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and

marked with the recycling symbol. Follow local

regulations for scrapping.

Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene

parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are

potentially dangerous.

2.Appliance

The appliance is made using recyclable materials.

Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local

environmental regulations for waste disposal. Make the

appliance unusable by cutting off the power cord.

The appliance must be delivered to an authorised

collection centre for the recovery of refrigerant gas.

Declaration of conformity

This appliance is intended to come into contact with

foodstuffs and conforms to D.L. 108 of 25.01.1992

(European Directive 89/109/EEC).

INSTALLATION

Freestanding refrigerator with worktop.

Install the refrigerator in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct

sunlight and heat sources. Ensure that the appliance is level, using the

front adjustment feet if necessary. Install the air vent at the rear of the

worktop, fitting it in the holes provided. The air vent clicks into place. See

figs. 3, 4.

Door reversibility

To change the direction of door opening proceed as follows:

• unscrew the bottom hinge;

• remove the door from the top hinge pin;

• remove the appliance top;

• unscrew the worktop frame;

• unscrew the top hinge;

• screw the hinges on the other side of the appliance;

• fit the door on the top hinge pin and close it;

• screw the bottom hinge;

• refit the top.

After changing the direction of door opening, check the door seal and

adjust it if necessary. To adjust the door seal loosen the screws of the

hinges and adjust them.

Electrical Connection

Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local

regulations. Ensure that the voltage indicated on the appliance data

plate corresponds to the domestic supply voltage. Regulations require

that the appliance is earthed. The Manufacturer declines all liabilities

for injury to persons or damage to property resulting from failure to

observe these regulations. If the plug and socket are not of the same

type, have the socket replaced by a qualified electrician. After

installation, make sure that the refrigerator is not standing on the

power supply cable.

Do not use extensions leads. The manufacturer declines all

liability for any damage resulting from a faulty electrical

connection.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Switching on the refrigerator and adjusting the temperature.

Switching off the appliance

Do not switch on the refrigerator until it is in the desired operating

position. After positioning the refrigerator, wait about 3 hours before

switching on.

The appliance switches on when the thermostat knob is turned to a

position between 1 and 7 (Fig. 5).

For daily use we recommend seting the thermostat to an intermediate

position. There is no need to change the setting when the room

temperature changes.

In the event of prolonged disuse, it will be necessary to:

• turn the thermostat knob to “0”;

• unplug the appliance from the mains power supply;

• empty, clean and dry both compartments;

• leave the door open.

Energy saving

• Install the appliance away from heat sources;

• do not leave the door open for any longer than is strictly necessary;

• the thickness of frost or ice on the walls of the freezer must not

exceed 5mm;

• do not place saucepans without lids or hot saucepans in the

refrigerator.

Energy consumption is reduced with lower ambient temperatures.

Storing fresh food in the refrigerator

Fresh food compartment

The refrigerator compartment can be used to store fresh food.

• Food must be cooled at room temperature before placing it in the

refrigerator. Wrap and seal food in polythene bags, aluminium foil,

closed containers or pots to prevent it from absorbing and

transferring odours and humidity.

• The recommended maximum storage time for frozen foods is

indicated on the package. Food that is past the ‘best before date’ may

have deteriorated.

Frozen food compartment

The temperature in this compartment is -18°C or lower.

Freezer compartment marked ****

This compartment can be used for storing frozen food or freezing up to

2 kg of fresh food in 24 hours. To freeze fresh food it is advisable to set

the thermostat to “5 - 6”. After 24 hours set the thermostat back to its

previous position.

Freezer compartment marked ***

This compartment can be used for storing frozen food.

Making ice cubes

The freezer compartment can be used for making ice cubes. To speed

up the ice making process, set the thermostat to “7”. After

approximately two hours ice is made.

Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of

the freezer compartment - risk of "cold" burns.

Defrosting the appliance

The frost that forms on the rear wall of the compartment is

automatically eliminated each time the compressor stops. The droplets

of water are routed to a drain outlet (2) and into a collection container

located on the compressor from where they evaporate.

During operation impurities can form and obstruct the drain outlet,

thus preventing the water from draining.

Any impurities must be removed from the water outlet using the

specific device (4) (Fig. 6).

The freezer compartment requires manual defrosting. To defrost,

proceed as follows:

• turn the thermostat knob to “0”;

• disconnect the appliance from the power supply by unplugging it;

• open the freezer compartment door to allow the frost to melt;

• remove the defrost water, and clean and dry the compartment;

• switch on the appliance again.

Do not use sharp objects or metal instruments to remove ice.
