BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE • After unpacking, please ensure that the appliance is undamaged and that the doors close tightly. Any damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours of receipt of the appliance. • Leave the appliance for 1 hour before connecting it to the electricity supply. • The package is recycable and is marked with the recycling symbol . • The appliance is built with re-usable material. When scrapping, follow the local environmental protection regulations.
HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT a Press the main and freezer compartment on button (4). • The green pilot lamp (5) lights up (indicating that the freezer compartment is working) flashing until the temperature set is reached, when it remains on steadily. • The acoustic signal switches on (switch off with button (9)). • The red pilot lamp (10) lights up, flashing. It will remain on (about 1 hour) until the critical alarm temperature is reached.
HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT c Place food in the top compartment, leaving enough space for air to circulate around packages. To speed up the freezing process and increase the compartment capacity, remove the top basket and the ice pack storage drawer (if provided). Put the already frozen food into the other drawers and the food still to be frozen directly onto the refrigerator grid.
HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT a Press the refrigerator compartment button (1) • The inside light switches on when the door is opened. • An acoustic alarm sounds when the door has been left open for more than 1 minute. It will switch off when the door is closed. • The green pilot lamp (2) switches on indicating the operation of the refrigerator compartment flashing until the temperature set is reached, when it remains on steadily.
HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT We suggest you defrost your freezer once ice build up on the grids reaches about 3 mm in thickness. 1. 24 h before defrosting, press the fast freeze button (7) for about 2”. The yellow pilot lamp (8) switches on. The food will reach the coldest temperature. 2. Remove food from the freezer, wrap them into several layers of newspaper and put them into a cold place. 3. Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply. 4. Remove the ice trays. 5. Remove the baskets. 6.
HOW TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE Before any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the mains. • Clean the inside of the freezer when defrosting. • Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator compartment with a sponge dampened in a solution of luke warm water and neutral detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives. • Wipe the outside with a soft cloth dampened in water. • The defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. Some models are provided with a drain hole.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE 1. The temperatures in the compartments are not cold enough • Is the food preventing proper closing of the doors? • Is the appliance too close to a heat source? • Are the temperatures set correct? • Is the condenser clean? • Is the air flow restricted? 2. The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment is too cold • Is the temperature set correct? 3.
INSTALLATION • Before switching the appliance on, remove the compressor fixing block • Do not install the refrigerator close to any heat source. • Place it in a dry and well ventilated space. • Make sure that the appliance is well levelled. Adjust the front feet if required. • Leave at least a 50 mm gap above the appliance. • Some models have lateral protruding sides which allow the direct positioning of the appliance against the rear wall.
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a correct replacement is fitted. Correct replacements are identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store.
