Safeguarding the environment Declaration of conformity • This appliance has been designed for preserving food and is manufactured in compliance with Regulation (CE) No. 1935/2004. • This appliance has been designed, manufactured and marketed in compliance with: - safety objectives of the “Low Voltage" Directive 2006/95/CE (which replaces 73/23/CEE and subsequent amendments); - the protection requirements of Directive “EMC" 2004/108/EC.
Precautions and general recommendations INSTALLATION • The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons. • Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g. parquet) when moving the appliance. • During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable. • Make sure the appliance is not near a heat source. • To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space on both sides and above the appliance and follow the installation instructions.
First use Connect the appliance to the mains power supply. A beep may be emitted by some models, to indicate that the temperature alarm has intervened: press and hold the button to switch off acoustic alarms. As applicable, insert the anti-bacterial/anti-odour filter into the fan as indicated on the filter package. Note: after switching on, the refrigerator needs approximately 4/5 hours to reach the correct temperature for storing a normal fridge load of food.
When the appliance is not in use Unplug the appliance from the mains, then empty, defrost (if necessary) and clean it. Leave the doors ajar, so that air can circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and bad odours. During blackouts Keep the doors closed to allow the stored food to stay cold as long as possible. Do not refreeze partially thawed food. If the blackout persists, the blackout alarm may sound (depending on the model).
Freezer compartment The freezer compartment stores frozen food (for the period indicated on the package) and freezes fresh food. The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate; place the food in the freezer compartment (see Quick Start Guide), leaving leaving enough space around the packages to allow air to circulate. Refreezing partially thawed food is not recommended. It is important to wrap food so that no water, moisture, or vapour may penetrate.
“Zero degrees” box (depending on the model) The "Zero Degrees" box is specifically designed to maintain a low temperature and a suitable humidity level, in order to keep foods fresher for longer (e.g. meat, fish, fruit and winter vegetables). Activating and deactivating the box The temperature inside the box, when active, is approximately 0°.
Removing the "Zero Degrees" box: The "Zero Degrees" box can be removed to create more space inside the refrigerator. In this case proceed as follows: - to facilitate removal, we recommend emptying (and if necessary, removing) the two lower door trays - switch off the box - pull out the drawer and the white plastic shelf underneath the box. Note: the upper shelf and the side supports cannot be removed.
