Instructions Description 2 Description of the appliance 2.1 General Description This presentation is only for information about the parts of the appliance. Parts may vary according to the appliance model.
3 Using the appliance 3.1 Information about New Generation Cooling Technology Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a different operating system to static fridges. Other (static) fridges may experience a build up of ice in the freezer compartment due to door openings and humidity in the food. In such fridges, regular defrosting is required; the fridge must be switched off, the frozen food moved to a suitable container and the ice which has formed in the freezer compartment removed.
Use Instructions 3.3 Operating your Fridge Freezer Once you have plugged in the product, all symbols will be displayed for 2 seconds and the initial values will be shown as -18 °C on the freezer adjustment indicator, and +4 °C on the refrigerator adjustment indicator. 3.3.1 Freezer temperature settings • The initial temperature value for the freezer setting indicator is -18 °C. • Press the freezer set button once. When you first press the button, the previous value will blink on the screen.
During Super Freeze Mode: • The temperature of the Refrigerator may be adjusted. In this case, Super Freeze mode will continue. • Economy mode cannot be selected. • Super Freeze mode can be cancelled in the same way it is selected. Notes: • The maximum amount of fresh food (in kilograms) that can be frozen within 24 hours is shown on the appliance label. • For optimal appliance performance in maximum freezer capacity, activate super freeze mode 3 hours before you put fresh food into the freezer.
Use Instructions 3.4 Temperature Adjustment Warnings • It is not recommended that you operate your appliance in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency. • Do not start another adjustment while you are already making an adjustment. • Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the appliance and the ambient temperature in the location of your appliance.
3.5.2 Container with drawers The freezer drawers allow food to be accessed more easily. Drawers Freezer boxes Removing the container with drawer: • Pull the container with drawer out as far as possible • Pull the front of the container with drawer up and out Carry out the opposite of this operation when refitting the sliding compartment. Always keep hold of the handle of the container with drawer while removing it. 3.5.
Use Instructions To remove the shelf of the super cold drawer proceed as follows: The dial, located behind the shelf, must be opened if any condensation is seen on the glass shelf. 3.5.5 Natural Ion Tech (In some models) • Pull the drawer towards you by sliding it on the rails. • Pull the drawer up from the rail and remove it from the refrigerator. Natural Ion Tech spreads negative ions which neutralize particles of unpleasant smell and dust in the air.
Contents Use EN 3.5.6 Maxi-fresh preserver (If available) Maxi Fresh Preserver technology helps to remove ethylene gas (a bioproduct released naturally from fresh foods) and unpleasant odors from the fruit and vegetable drawer. In this way, food stays fresh for a longer time. • Maxi Fresh Preserver must be cleaned once in a year. The filter should be waited for 2 hours at 65°C in a oven. • To clean the filter, please remove the back cover of the filter box by pulling it in the direction of the arrow.
Use Instructions 4 Food storage 4.1 Refrigerator compartment For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the refrigerator compartment to +4 or +6 °C. • To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting. • Never place warm food in the refrigerator.
Note: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.
Use Instructions • • • • bable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated. The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

CleaningInstructions and maintenance 5 Cleaning and Maintenance 5.1 Defrosting Occasional presence of frost inside the freezer compartment is normal. Do not use electrical appliances (e.g. hair dryers) or sprays for defrosting, the plastic parts could be damaged. Defrosting the refrigerator/freezer compartments The refrigerator/freezer compartment does not require defrosting, as any ice which forms on the refrigeration plate will melt when the compressor is switched off. The defrosting process is automatic.
5.3 Cleaning the appliance A special antibacterial protection on the appliance's interior walls prevents bacterial growth and keeps them clean. They must nevertheless be cleaned regularly in order to keep them in good condition. Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it. • Door balconies and shelves can be removed. • Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a dish washer. • Do not use sharp objects or spray products.
CleaningInstructions and maintenance 5.4 What to do if... The appliance does not work: • Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and that the main switch is turned on. The compressor starts to function too often or functions continuously: • The room temperature is too high. • The door is being opened too often or for too long. • The door is not closing/sealing properly. • The freezer is loaded with too many fresh foods.
CleaningContents and maintenance EN Excessive ice has built up inside the freezer compartment: • The thermostat is set at too low a temperature. • The room temperature is too high. • The door is being opened too often or for too long. • The door is not closing/sealing properly. • The door seal is damaged or dirty. Clean or replace it. • Hot foods have been placed inside the freezer compartment.

General information • Check the mains characteristics against the data indicated on the plate.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C - 43°C) intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class displayed on the information label. We do not recommend operating your appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
Instructions Installation • • • • • 30 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens. If your appliance is placed next to a deep freezer, there must be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface. Do not place heavy items on the appliance.

Old and Out-of-order Fridges • If your old fridge or freezer has a lock, break or remove the lock before discarding it, because children may get trapped inside it and accidents may occur. • Old fridges and freezers contain isolation material and refrigerant with CFC. Therefore, take care not to harm environment when you are discarding your old fridges.
Instructions Installation Positioning Position the appliance on a firm, level surface. The appliance has two small wheels on the back to allow it to be moved and positioned more easily. Lean the appliance slightly towards the rear part to facilitate proper door closure. In any case, we recommend moving the appliance very carefully in order to avoid damaging the floor (especially in the case of wooden floors).
Installation Contents EN In order for the freezer to be installed correctly, the door must be able to close properly. Ensure that the door seals close hermetically, especially at the corners. Pressure on the seal Risk of damages to the appliance • Do not press, do not tear or detach the seal from the door. A few days after installation, check that the initial level adjustment is still correct.
