Start-up and use
GB
Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions
(see Installation).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and
accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.
! The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which
makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after being
switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power supply
is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the
refrigerator.
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).
2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the green POWER
indicator light illuminates.
3. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average value.
After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator.
4. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average value and
press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the SUPER
FREEZE indicator light will illuminate. Once the refrigerator has
reached the optimal temperature, the indicator light goes out and
you can begin food storage.
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is
too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher
position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the
temperature has been stabilised.
Chiller system
No Frost
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if
the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for
the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting
the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.
ACTIVE OXIGEN
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator; ozone
is a natural substance which combats bacteria and microorganisms,
reducing their proliferation while limiting unpleasant odours.
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging the
freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing bacteria
build-up.
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator. The
very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm, due to
the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts is released;
this is completely normal. The amount produced by the device is very
small and abates quickly as the antibacterial action takes place.
Device is activated pressing the dedicated key on the dashboard.
With the Active Oxigen switched on, the device will operate a repeted
cycle until the key is pressed again. There will be an Ozone emission
noticed by the switching on of the green led located on the Active
Oxigen device located in the fridge compartment and a stand-by
cicle (without zone emission) noticed by blue light.
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect humidity
and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains an optimal
humidity level in the compartment, preserving the original quality of
the food, preventing the food from sticking together and making
defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration cells by
placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back
panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never hot
foods (see Precautions and tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the level of
humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is
adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers
and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the
shelf.

cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water
and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents,
abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and
soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed
by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium
power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be
pulled out before cleaning the appliance.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature
(see Description).
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with
food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored
in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the
temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate
the SUPER FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food in the
freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER FREEZE
function again; it will be deactivated automatically after 24 hours;
• Donotplaceglassbottleswhichcontainliquids, andwhicharecorked
or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated
ontheplatecontainingthetechnicalpropertieslocatedonthebottom
left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are
odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to
prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or
sealed properly.
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of
time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
Holiday function
To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not necessary to
switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function which allows it to
maintain the temperature of the refrigerator compartment at
approximately 12°C (which can also be used to conserve make-up
and beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to the
minimum value in order to preserve the food.
!To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment,
it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or
containers.
To enable the function:
set the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob on
.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
A double acoustic signal informs you when it has been enabled. A
single acoustic signal informs you when it has been disabled.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door.
This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring
that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
Replacing the light bulb *
• To order a replacement bulb please call us on 08448 225 225 or
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the
plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below.

Respecting and conserving the environment
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room. Ensure
that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near heat
sources.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the
door too frequently in order to conserve energy.
Precautions and tips
GB
!The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with
international safety standards. The following warnings are provided
for safety reasons and must be read carefully.
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate
freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation is impeded,
the compressor will work continuously.
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal
temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder
and will consume more energy.
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance). A thick layer
of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult and
results in increased energy consumption.
This appliance complies with the following Community Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and
subsequent amendments;
