WARNINGS
Warning for your safety. Carefully read these
instructions before installing and using the
machine.
 This text affects appliances with gas R600a only.
The refrigeration circuit contains isobutane (R600a), which is a natural gas
noted for its excellent ecological properties. In the event of a mechanical
rupture causing a leak, this gas could ignite if naked flames or sparks are
present. For this reason do not use electrical appliances inside the
refrigerator, and do not place heating equipment or other sources of heat
using naked flames inside or close to the refrigerator. The refrigerant is
heavier than air and for this reason would be concentrated at the bottom
of the appliance. In the event of a gas leak air the room thoroughly.
This freezer is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be
allowed to temper with the controls or play with the product.
Any electrical work required to install the appliance should be carried out
by a qualified electrician or competent person.
 This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.
Make sure that the cable is not trapped underneath the appliance, nor
touches the motor
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injuries or
serious malfunctioning. Refer to the nearest Network Centre.
 Make sure the rear part of the appliance stands against a wall as there are
working parts which heat up and should not be of easy access.
Make sure that there is a continous and adequate ventilation as a failor to
do so will result in component failure and possible food loss.
The appliance should be left for at least 4 hours after installation before it
is turned on in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.
This product must be serviced by an authorized NETWORK SERVICE
CENTRE, and only genuine SPARE PARTS
must be employed.
Before cleaning or reparing the appliance,
make sure to switch off and unplug.
It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
modify this product in any way.

HOW TO USE YOUR
REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER
Freezer Compartment:
This freezer, marked , is suitable for freezing food
and permits long term
storage of frozen food.
The appliance must be connected for at least 3 hours before
introducing food.
Freezing of food:
1) Place food on the upper grill I (figure 1).
2) Maintain food for at least 24 hours in that position.
3) The maximum quantity to be frozen within 24 hours is shown on the
«Rating Plate».
4) The shelf situated in the freezer door is not destined to freeze fresh food
but to preserve prefrozen food, storage ice cream or frost cocktail
glasses; the volume is 7 l.
Conservation of frozen food:
For a safe storage of food the temperature inside should never rise above
- 18° C.
An adjustable thermostat is regulating this temperature automatically.
Make sure the «Temperature Regulator» is on a medium setting.
However, it may sometimes be necessary (due to poor ventilation, high
room temperature, frequent opening of the door) to graduate the setting
of the «Temperature Regulator».
In case of an accidental stop of the appliance or a power cut proceed as
follows:
Keep the doors closed at all events.
Try to find out for how long the failure will continue.
Once reestablished to normality:
A) If the freezer is fully loaded and the power failure is less than the time
indicated on the «Rating Plate» no damage has been done to the
food stored.
B) If the freezer is fairly loaded the «rising of the temperature» is reduced.
If thawing has not yet started proceed as said in previous point.
C) If thawing has started, consume the food immediately, or cook it and
the freezing it again.
Refrigerator Compartment:
This compartment is meant for keeping drinks and fresh food.
The inner temperature is quite equalized. Avoid food touching inner
walls, as the cold is being produced in there and the food could partly get
frozen. On the other hand this would avoid a perfect circulation of the cold
air. This appliance is provided with an automatic defrosting device. You
therefore might find sometimes a fine layer of ice or water drops.
8
HOW TO USE YOUR
REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER
Dynamic refrigeration (DAC):
The DAC system gives an extra performance to the fridge compartment,
shown as:
 Faster cooling.
More uniform temperature.
DAC (Dynamic Air Cooling system) has been mainly designed for hot
weather, and also when the refrigerator is plenty of food.
To operate, push the button on the fan switch and the green pilot light will
come on.
When DAC is switched on, the cold production is higher, thus you should
turn the temperature regulator to an adequate position to avoid excesive
cold.
Useful Hints
Do not introduce any new food during a freezing period.
Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen
food.
Wrap the food up properly or place it in hermethic recipies before
introducing it into the freezer.
Do not introduce any hot food into the freezer
Food and drinks of a strong flavour may pass this on to others and affect
the flavour. Wrap them up adequately or put them into tight closing bags.
Follow the instructions given in the cook books, freezing books and
wrapping utensiles for better conservation of food.
In some models, on the freezer inner door there is usually an schematic
drawing showing the conservation time (in months) for the different types
of food. It will also depend on the food quality in the moment of freezing
and on the specific instructions on packages.
