Identify the model of your refrigerator ("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g") by comparing the control panel with the illustrations.
Installation
1.1 Unpacking. Remove all the protective packaging elements. 1.2 Location. Stand the refrigerator away from sources of heat and protect it from direct sunlight to reduce its consumption.
Do not install the refrigerator in the open air or exposed to rain.
The air must circulate around the rear of the refrigerator. Leave a space of 25 mm between the back of the refrigerator and the wall. Do not block the space between the refrigerator and the floor or the ceiling.
Level the refrigerator to prevent vibration and noise. Bear in mind that if the refrigerator is placed against the wall or a kitchen unit, some noise may occur.
Also check the trays are placed correctly, and place containers separately to prevent vibration.
1.3 Mains connection. Leave the refrigerator to stand for at least 2 hours in vertical position before plugging it in. Check the data on the reference plate (220-240V with earth connection) (1.3.1, 1.3.2).
Do not use adapters or extension leads.
Ensure the cable is not touching the motor or trapped underneath it.
1.4 Changing the door opening direction.
Unplug the refrigerator from the mains and empty the contents of the inner door.
Remove the screws from the lower hinge and
remove the hinge, holding the freezer door in place to prevent it from falling onto the floor (1.4.1, 1.4.2). Remove the freezer door (1.4.3).

Operation
2.1 Switching on the refrigerator. Press ON-OFF (2.1.1). Press +, - until a digit appears on the display (2.1.2), or turn the dial (2.1.3). 2.2 Selecting the compartment. On models a, b, c, d, the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment work
separately. On models e, f, g, the two compartments work together.
2.3 Temperature selection. Turn the dial (2.3.1) or press the +, - buttons of the freezer compartment, followed by those of the refrigerator compartment (2.3.2).
When you have selected the temperature, you can find out the real temperature in the compartment by observing the indicator lights (2.3.3), or by holding down the + or - buttons of the desired compartment for 5 seconds. The temperature in the compartment will flash on the display (2.3.4).
Recommendation: The recommended temperature for the refrigerator compartment is 4°C and for the freezer compartment it is -19°C for already frozen food, and -24°C if you wish to freeze food.
Remember that the temperature inside the appliance depends on the room temperature, where the refrigerator is located, and how often you open the door.
2.4 Refrigerator functions.
Quick cool function: This function activates the refrigerator at a cooler temperature for 6 hours. It is recommended to activate it when you place a large amount of food in the refrigerator.
To enable and disable this function: Press SUPER (2.4.1, 2.4.2). Models e, f, and g do not have this function.
Holiday function: The holiday function is very useful when you will not be using the refrigerator for a long period of time but you wish to keep food in the freezer. With this function, your refrigerator will consume very little power and bad smells will not be generated inside it. Models a, c, e, f, and g do not have this function.
Warning: The refrigerator door must be kept closed when this function is in use.
To enable and disable this function: Press HOLIDAY (2.4.3), or the +, - buttons of the refrigerator compartment until H appears on the display (2.4.4). To disable the function, repeat this operation.
2.5 Freezer functions.

To enable and disable this function: Press SUPER (2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.3). Model g does not have this function.
Winter function: Models only. Use this function if you notice that the freezer is becoming warmer. Hold down the SUPER button for 5 seconds until the orange pilot light begins to flash (2.5.4). The refrigerator light will remain on at half power so that the compressor functions for longer. When the freezer has reached the right temperature, switch off the winter function by holding down the SUPER button for 5 seconds again.
Switching the freezer on and off: Press the ON-OFF button of the freezer compartment (2.5.5). Press the + or - button until no temperature appears on the display (2.5.6), or turn the dial to ON-OFF (2.5.7). When the freezer is switched off the refrigerator compartment will also switch off.
2.6 Recommendations for use.
- Do not open the doors for any longer than necessary, and do not place hot food in the refrigerator. This will ensure a more efficient use of your refrigerator and will avoid excess power consumption.
- If your refrigerator is NO FROST type, do not obstruct the ventilation grilles, and leave space between the food for the air to circulate.
- Do not place bottles of fizzy drinks or glass bottles containing liquids in the freezer, as they may burst.
- Place food in sealed containers to prevent it from drying up.
- Do not consume ice cream or food that is very cold as this can cause burns.

Maintenance and cleaning
3.1 Cleaning the inside of the refrigerator. Use a sponge or a dish cloth soaked in water with bicarbonate of soda to clean the inside of the refrigerator, to prevent bad smells from forming.
Never use steam cleaning machines, solvents or abrasive detergents.
3.2 Cleaning the outside of the refrigerator. Do not use steam cleaning machines to
It is recommended to clean the rear grille with a vacuum cleaner once a year.
3.3 Cleaning the accessories. The accessories are not dishwasher-safe. Wash them by hand, using a sponge or a dish cloth. 3.4 Changing the light. If the light bulb blows: Unplug the refrigerator. Press the tab to remove the light cover (3.4.1, 3.4.3) and remove the blown bulb (3.4.2, 3.4.4). Replace it by another bulb with the same screw type, E14, 220-240V, 15/25W, or as indicated on the light fitting. 3.5 Changing the carbon filter. Your refrigerator may be equipped with a carbon filter to absorb the unpleasant smells generated by some foods and to retain the microorganisms (fungus and bacteria) in the circulating air.
The filter maintains its properties for a limited time of 6 months. When this time has elapsed, the filter should be changed and a new one fitted. The filter location depends on the model.
