Information: This appliance does

not contain CFCs. The refrigerant

circuit contains R134a (HFC) or

R600a (HC) (see the rating plate

inside the appliance).

• Appliances with Isobutane (R600a):

isobutane is a natural gas without

environmental impact, but is

flammable. Therefore, make sure

the refrigerant circuit pipes are not

damaged. Keep special attention in

case of damaged pipes emptying

the refrigerant circuit.

• This product may contain

Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases

covered by the Kyoto Protocol; the

refrigerant gas is inside a

hermetically sealed system.

Refrigerant gas: R134a has a Global

Warming Potential of (GWP) 1300.

• C-Pentane is used as blowing agent

in the insulation foam and it is a

flammable gas. Pay special attention

during disposal operations.

• This appliance is intended to be

used in household and similar

applications such as

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS • Appliances could have special compartments (Fresh Food Compartment, Zero Degree Box,...). In case not differently specified in the specific booklet of product, they can be removed, maintaining equivalent performances. • Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).
PAGE 5
HOW TO USE THE FREEZER The freezer can be used for storing already frozen food and for freezing fresh food. Control unit Switching on the freezer for the first time • There is no need to set the freezer temperature on the thermostat because the appliance is already factory set. • Plug in the appliance. • Only place food in the freezer 2 hours after switching on. Adjusting temperature From MIN to MAX: make the internal temperature colder.
PAGE 6
Tips for freezing and storing fresh food. • Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food. • Food must be fresh and of prime quality. • Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavour.
PAGE 7
Removing the baskets • Pull the baskets out fully, then lift them up slightly in order to remove. Note: Drawers may be removed in order to obtain increased storage space. Ensure that the load does not exceed the limit (if present) indicated on the side walls of the appliance. Making ice cubes • Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the special freezer compartment. • Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is stuck to the bottom of the freezer.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Periodically clean the condenser at the rear of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or brush. Prolonged disuse • Empty the freezer. • Disconnect the freezer from the mains power supply. • Defrost and clean. • Leave the door open to prevent formation of unpleasant odours and to eliminate any dampness. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. The appliance is not working.
PAGE 9
INSTALLATION • Install the appliance away from heat sources. Installation in a hot environment, direct exposure to the sun or installation near heat sources (heaters, radiators, cookers) will increase power consumption and should therefore be avoided. • If this is not possible, the following minimum distances must be respected: • 30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves; • 3 cm from electric and/or gas stoves.
PAGE 10
DOOR REVERSIBILITY The direction of door opening of your freezer can be changed. • Make sure that the freezer is not connected to the power supply and that it is empty. • Reversing the direction of door opening is a task which requires two people. Tools required • Phillips style screwdriver • Flat bladed screwdriver • 8 mm and 10 mm socket or spanner. Lay the fridge/freezer on its back in order to gain access to the base, being careful not to tip it back by more than 45º.
PAGE 11
Remove the levelling feet by unscrewing. Remove the bottom bracket using an 8 mm socket or spanner. Remove and replace the pin, using a 10 mm socket to unscrew the nut and a flat bladed screwdriver to remove the pin. You may need to push the pin through from the underside to remove fully. Remove the screw on the base and refit it on the other side. Remove the blanking plates from the unused side of the fridge/freezer and refit them in the holes left by the brackets.
