To ensure appliance's best functionality, you should not install the appliance in a place with direct sunlight. Do not install the appliance close to radiators or cookers, ovens, or hobs, unless otherwise specified in the installation instructions.
Make sure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet.
This appliance should be installed in a dry, well ventilated indoor position.
This appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperature ranging from 10°C to 43°C.
The correct operation of the appliance can only be guaranteed within the specified temperature range.
If you have any doubts regarding where to install the appliance, please turn to the vendor, to our customer service or to the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. The plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
This appliance must be earthed.
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp fuse (B). In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that it is disposed of safely.
The airflow behind the appliance must be sufficient.
Refer to the installation instructions for the installation.
DOOR REVERSIBILITY
Please refer to the separate document with instructions on installation and door reversal.
At every stage of reversing the door protect the floor from scratching with a durable material.
Keep touching the temperature regulator button for 3 seconds.
All indicators light off.
To operate the appliance, touch the temperature regulator until the LED corresponding to the required temperature lights up. Selection is progressive, varying from 2°C to 8°C. Recommended setting is 4°C.
The set temperature will be reached within 24 hours. After a power failure the set temperature remains stored.
The FastFreeze function is used to perform prefreezing and fast freezing in sequence in the freezer compartment. This function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects food products already stored in the freezer compartment from undesirable warming.
To freeze fresh food activate the FastFreeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food to complete pre-freezing.
To activate FastFreeze function press the FastFreeze button. The FastFreeze indicator switches on.
This function stops automatically after 52 hours.
It is possible to deactivate the function at any time by pressing FastFreeze button again. The FastFreeze indicator switches off.
If the fridge door is left open for approximately 5 minutes, the alarm light flashes and the sound is on.
During the alarm the sound can be muted by pressing any button. The sound switches off automatically after around one hour to avoid disturbing.
The alarm deactivates after closing the door.
When there is a temperature increase in the freezer compartment (for example due to an earlier power failure), the alarm light flashes and the sound is on.
To deactivate the sound press any button.
The alarm light continues to flash until the normal conditions are restored.
If you do not press any button, the sound switches off automatically after around one hour to avoid disturbing.
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.
There are special drawers in the bottom part of the appliance suitable for storage of fruits and vegetables.
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the FastFreeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in the first compartment or drawer from the top.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen without adding other fresh food during 24 hours is specified on the rating plate (a label located inside the appliance).
When the freezing process is complete, the appliance automatically returns to the previous temperature setting (see "FastFreeze function").
In this condition, the temperature inside the refrigerator might change slightly.
For more information refer to "Hints for freezing".
When activating an appliance for the first time or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 3 hours with the FastFreeze function switched on.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and place the food on shelves.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from the door.
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer than the value shown on rating plate under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately then cooled and then re-frozen. Refer to "High temperature alarm".
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being consumed, can be thawed in the refrigerator or inside a plastic bag under cold water.
This operation depends on the time available and on the type of food. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen.
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oilbased cleaners as they will damage the finish.
The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner provided with the appliance.
The freezer compartment is frost free. This means that there is no build up of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls, nor on the foods.
When the appliance is not in use for long period, take the following precautions:
Refer to Safety chapters.
