Before using the appliance • Your new appliance is designed exclusively for domestic use. To ensure best use of your appliance, carefully read the operating instructions which contain a description of the product and useful advice. Keep these instructions for future reference. 1. After unpacking the appliance, make sure it is not damaged and that the door closes properly. Any damage must be reported to the dealer within 24 hours of delivery of the appliance. 2.
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.
If the appliance is not going to be used • Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. • Remove all the food and leave the doors open enough for air to circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and bad odours. • If the appliance has an automatic ice-maker: 1. Shut off the water supply to the appliance. 2. Empty the ice bucket. Power failure In case of power failures of up to 24 hours, keep the doors of the appliance closed.
Guide to the inside parts CRISPER AND MEAT DRAWER Removing the crisper or meat drawer: 1. slide the drawer out as far as it goes; 2. with one hand underneath the drawer, lift and pull it out; 3. the drawer will come off the runners and can be pulled out further; 4. to remove it completely, the drawer must be turned: front end up, rear end down. Loading procedure Maximum storage capacity can be obtained by removing the two bottom drawers/baskets from the freezer compartment.
Using the ice and water dispenser First use When the ice and water dispenser is used for the first time, the first ice cubes and water coming out of the dispenser may have an unpleasant taste and should therefore be discarded. Useful tips: 1. Keep the glass near the dispenser outlet. 2. Press lightly on the lever to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not result in faster dispensing or greater quantities. 3. To stop dispensing, remove the glass slowly so that ice does not fall outside the glass.
Storing, freezing and thawing food INTRODUCTION Wrap food so that no water, moisture or condensate can enter; this will prevent odours or aromas going from one part to another in the refrigerator, ensuring better preservation of frozen foods. Use plastic containers with hermetic lids, aluminium trays, aluminium foil, plastic film and waterproof plastic wraps. NOTE: Never place hot food in the freezer. Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature for 30 minutes, then wrap and freeze.
Storing, freezing and thawing food FOOD STORAGE CHART Storage times vary according to the quality of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (moisture and steam proof), and the storage temperature (which must be -18°C).
Troubleshooting guide Before contacting the After-sales Service... Operation problems are often due to minor causes that can be found and fixed without using any tools. Noises from appliances are normal since the fans and compressors for controlling its operation switch on and off automatically.
Troubleshooting guide IF THE APPLIANCE IS FITTED WITH A DISPENSER If the automatic ice-maker does not work: • Has the freezer had enough time to become cold? With a new appliance this may take overnight. • Is the automatic ice-maker ON/OFF button set to ON? (On some models. Refer to the product sheet). • Is water reaching the automatic ice-maker? Is the water cock open? The filter may be clogged or not correctly installed.
Changing a water filter cartridge (if available) 1. Locate the water filter cartridge cap below the freezer compartment door. Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille. 2. Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old cartridge. DO NOT DISCARD THE CAP. 3. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove the protective cover. 4. Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge as shown. 5.
