Important safety instructions • WARNING: to avoid a hazard due to instability, positioning or fixing of the appliance must be done in accordance with the manufacturer instructions. • WARNING: keep the appliance ventilation openings clear of obstruction. • WARNING: do not damage the appliance refrigerant circuit pipes. • WARNING: Do not use mechanical, electric or chemical means other than those recommended by the Manufacturer to speed up the defrost process.
Safeguarding the environment and shelves so that children cannot easily climb inside and become trapped. Scrap the appliance in compliance with local regulations on waste disposal, taking it to a special collection centre; do not leave the appliance unattended even for a few days, since it is a potential source of danger for children.
Precautions and general recommendations • Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs (in some models). • Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer since they may cause cold burns. • For products designed to use an air filter inside an accessible fan cover, the filter shall be always in position when the refrigerator is in function. • Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect it from the power supply.
Using for the first time Connect the appliance to the power supply. In models with electronics, a sound signal may be emitted, which means that the temperature alarm has been activated: press the sound alarm off button. Where provided, position the antibacterial anti-odour filter in the fan as demonstrated in the filter packaging. Note: After turning the appliance on, you must wait for 4-5 hours for the correct storage temperature to be reached for a normally filled appliance.
In the event of non-use of the applicance Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, empty it, defrost it (if necessary) and clean it. Keep the doors slightly ajar to let air circulate inside the compartments. By doing this, you avoid the development of mould and bad odours. In the event of an interruption to the power supply Keep the doors closed so the food stays cold for as long as possible. Do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted.
Freezer compartment Model with separate freezer compartment The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food (for the period indicated on the packaging) and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment (see Quick Guide), leaving enough space around the food packages to allow air to circulate freely.
STOP FROST SYSTEM (depending on the model) The STOP FROST SYSTEM (available depending on the model) facilitates the defrost procedure for the freezer compartment. The STOP FROST accessory (figure 1) is designed to collect some of the frost that forms in the freezer compartment and it is easy to remove and clean, therefore reducing the time needed to defrost the inside of the freezer compartment. To remove the frost on the STOP FROST accessory follow the cleaning procedure demonstrated below.
“Zero Degrees” compartment (depending on the model) The “Zero Degrees” compartment is specifically designed to maintain a low temperature and the correct humidity to preserve fresh food for longer (for example, meat, fish, fruits and winter vegetables). Turning on and turning off the compartment The internal temperature of the compartment is approximately 0° when the compartment is turned on.
Removing the “Zero Degrees” compartment: Carry out the following steps: - to make it easier to remove the compartment, we recommend that you empty (and possibly remove) the lower door shelves - turn off the compartment - remove the compartment by rotating it upwards - remove the white plastic shelf under the compartment. Note: it is not possible to remove the upper shelf and side supports.
