preserve the stored food.

The “6

Sense” function is automatically activated when:

• a large amount of food is loaded into the refrigerator

• the refrigerator door is left open for a long time

• a prolonged power failure takes place, causing the internal

temperature of the appliance to increase to values that cannot

guarantee safe storage of food.

FAST COOLING BUTTON

The use of the Fast Cooling function is recommended:

• to increase the cooling speed of the refrigerator compartment

when placing a very high quantity of food within it,

To activate the Fast Cooling function, press and hold for 3seconds the

REFRIGERATOR LIGHT

The light system inside the refrigerator compartment uses LEDs light,

allowing a better lightning as well as a very low energy consumption.

If the LED light system does not work, please contact the Service to

replace it.

Important: The refrigerator compartment light switches on when the

refrigerator door is opened. If the door is kept open for more then 8

minutes the light will be automatically switched o.

FAN

The fan improves temperature distribution inside the refrigerator

compartment, allowing better preservation of stored food. By default,

the fan is switched on. It is advisable to keep the fan switched on, so

that the “6

Sense” function can work properly and also when the

ambient air temperature is above 27 ‑ 28°C or if you notice drops of

water on the glass shelves or in sever humidity

conditions. To turn o the fan press the button of fan.

Please note that when the fan is switched on it will not

continuously work. The fan will start/stop working

depending on the temperature and/or humidity level

inside the fridge. It is therefore absolutely normal if the

fan does not move even if the fan is switched on.

UTILISATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE WATER DISPENCER AND FILTER

WATER DISPENSER

FIRST USE

The rst time you use the water dispenser or after a long period left

not used wash the tank and the lter with water. The water dispenser

provides fresh, ltered water, without the need of opening the

refrigerator door. This will reduce the number of times the door is

opened, thus also reducing energy consumption of the product.

FITTING AND REPLACING THE ACTIVE CARBON FILTER

The water lter should be removed from the foil bag (found in the

crisper drawer (item 7). Follow the instructions provided with the lter.

Important: If the lter is left dry for an extended period of time, its

performance may be reduced. Immerse the lter in water for a few

seconds to reinstate optimum performance.

To ll the tank, rotate the cap in the direction of the arrow.

1. Water tank (g. 1)

The water tank is made of antibacterial material. This prevents

and reduces the proliferation of bacteria. An internal container,

with an active carbon ltered ensures water ltration. To ll the

tank: rotate the water inlet towards you and ll with water, using

a jug or other suitable container. Once the tank is full, close the

water inlet by moving it back to its original position. Always

use drinking water only: any other liquid may impair product

performance.

Obtaining ltered water (g. 2)

After lling the tank, the water may not be immediately available. This

is because the ltering process may require a few minutes (depending

on the amount of water in the tank). To dispense water: with the

refrigerator door closed, press the water dispenser tab with the glass.

If for safety reason water delivery must be prevented, simply press the

stop at the back of the tab. To release water delivery, move the stop

back to its original position. It is recommended to drink the supplied

water from the dispenser in 6 hours

Cleaning the water tank (g. 3-4-5-6-7-8)

Periodically clean the water tank with running water. Twice a year

it is recommended to keep healthy the unit using specic products

based on diluted chlorine that not modify the material properties

and rinse with current water.

To clean the tank, proceed as follows: (g. 3) release and remove

the water tank by lifting it and pulling towards you. Place the tank

on a at surface, remove and wash the top cover.

Note: the tank must be retted in its position as soon as possible, to

prevent the refrigerator from overheating.

Fig. 3

(g. 4) remove the internal container and the lter, and wash them

separately. When washing the lter, only use clean water (no

detergent or sharp tools). To clean the disk lter, rst remove it

from the container.

Fig. 4

(g. 5) for a more thorough cleaning, remove the valve cap (the

tting connecting the tank to the refrigerator) by rotating it

anticlockwise. Clean the cap.

Important: do not pull on the valve body (g. 6).

Fig. 5

Fig. 6

(g. 7) replace the valve cap by rotating clockwise.

Fig. 7

(g. 8) t the tank back in place by placing it between the lateral

guides of the door and pushing it in position, ensuring that the

valve is back in its original seat. Check that the there are no gaps

between the rubber seal of the tank and the door.

WATER FILTER DURATION

To ensure optimum performance you should change the water lter

according with the following table:

Water consumption (average) Filter duration

3.0 l/day 4 months

4.5 l/day 3 months

6.0 l/day 2 months

Filter replacement is not covered by product warranty. To order more

water lter cartridges, please contact your after‑sales service.

TROUBLESHOOTING

What to do if... Possible reasons Solutions

The appliance doesn’t work. There may be an appliance power

supply problem.

Make sure:

• there is not a power failure;

• the plug is properly inserted in the power socket and the double‑

pole switch (if present) is in the correct position (on);

• the household electrical system protection devices function;

• the power cable is not broken.

The inside light does not

work.

It may be necessary to replace the light

bulb.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply and contact the

Technical Assistance Service if you need a replacement.

The internal temperature

of the compartments is not

cold enough.

The reasons could vary (see “Solution”)

column.

Check that:

• the doors are closed properly;

• the appliance is not installed near a heat source;

• the temperature is appropriately set;

• the circulation of air through the ventilation grilles on the base of

the appliance is not obstructed.

There is water on the

bottom of the refrigerator

compartment.

The defrost water drain is blocked. Clean the defrosting water drain (see section “Cleaning and

Maintenance").

The front edge of the

appliance that the door

gaskets seal against is hot.

This is not a problem. It prevents

condensation from forming.

A solution is not needed.

The temperature of the

refrigerator compartment is

too cold.

The set temperature is too cold. • Try to set a less cold temperature.

• Turn o the fan (if present) described in the paragraph “FAN”.
