IN THE EVENT OF NON-USE OF THE APPLICANCE

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, empty it, defrost it (if necessary) and clean it. Keep the doors slightly ajar to let air circulate inside the compartments. By doing this, you avoid the development of mould and bad odours.

IN THE EVENT OF AN INTERRUPTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Keep the doors closed so the food stays cold for as long as possible. Do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted. If there is a prolonged power cut, the black out alarm may also activate (in products with electronics).

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

The refrigerator compartment allows for the storage of fresh food and drink.

The refrigerator compartment defrosts completely automatically.

The occasional presence of drops of water on the internal back wall of the compartment is a sign of the automatic defrosting phase. The defrosting water is channelled into a drain and then collected in a container, where it evaporates.

Depending on the model, the product may be equipped with a special "Zero Degrees" compartment, which is ideal for storing fresh meat and fish.

Warning: do not clean refrigerator accessories in a dishwasher.

Note: the ambient temperature, how often the doors are opened and the position of the appliance may affect the internal temperatures in the two compartments. Set the temperatures depending on these factors.

Note: in very humid conditions, condensation may form in the refrigerator compartment, especially on the glass shelves. In this case, it is recommended that you close containers with liquids in (e.g. a pot of stock), wrap up food with a high water content (e.g. vegetables) and turn on the fan, if there is one.

Removing the fruit and vegetable drawer (depending on the model)

Pull the drawer outwards as far as it will go, lift it up and take it out.

To make it easier to remove the fruit and vegetable drawer, it may be necessary to empty (and possibly remove) the two lower door shelves and then continue to remove the drawer.

Fan and antibacterial anti-odour filter (depending on the model)

The fan allows for the even distribution of the temperatures inside the compartments and, consequently, better preservation of the food and reduction of excess humidity. Do not obstruct the ventilation area. The fan can be turned on/off manually (see the Quick Guide); if it is turned on, it operates automatically when necessary.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Model with separate freezer compartment

The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food (for the period indicated on the packaging) and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment (see Quick Guide), leaving enough space around the food packages to allow air to circulate freely. It is advisable that you do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted. It is important to wrap the food in a way that prevents the ingress of water, humidity or condensation.

Making ice cubes

Fill 2/3 of the ice tray (if available) with water and put it back in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice under any circumstances.

Removing the drawers (depending on the model)

Pull the drawers outwards as far as they will go, lift them up and remove them. To get more volume, the freezer compartment can be used without the drawers.

Make sure that the door is closed properly after putting the food back on the grilles/shelves.

Models with an internal product compartment

In the freezer compartment you can also freeze fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate.

How to freeze fresh food:

• arrange the food on the grille, if present (figure 1), or directly on the bottom of the compartment (figure 2)
• put the food in the middle of the compartment without it coming into contact with food that is already frozen, keeping a distance of about 20 mm (figure 1 and 2).

Figure 1

Figure 2

HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

depending on the model)

For frost free models it is not necessary to carry out any defrosting procedures.

For other models, the build up of frost is a normal occurrence.

The quantity and speed of frost accumulation varies depending on the ambient conditions and how often the door is opened. It is advisable to set the temperature colder or, if available, turn on the quick freeze function (see Quick Guide) four hours before removing the food from the freezer compartment, to prolong the preservation of the food during the defrosting phase. To defrost, turn the appliance off and remove the drawers. Put the frozen food in a cool place. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. To prevent the water from escaping during the defrost, it is advised that you place an absorbent cloth on the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out regularly.

Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it carefully.

Turn the appliance back on and put the food back inside.

STOP FROST SYSTEM (depending on the model)

The STOP FROST SYSTEM (available depending on the model) facilitates the defrost procedure for the freezer compartment. The STOP FROST accessory (figure 1) is designed to collect some of the frost that forms in the freezer compartment and it is easy to remove and clean, therefore reducing the time needed to defrost the inside of the freezer compartment.

To remove the frost on the STOP FROST accessory follow the cleaning procedure demonstrated below.

PROCEDURE TO CLEAN THE STOP FROST ACCESSORY

• Open the freezer compartment door and remove the upper drawer (figure 2).
• Unfasten the STOP FROST accessory (figure 3) and remove it (figure 4), taking care not to drop it on the glass shelf below. Note: if the accessory is jammed or difficult to remove, do not keep trying to remove it, but proceed with the complete defrost of the freezer compartment.
• Close the door to the freezer compartment.
• Remove the frost on the accessory by rinsing it under running (not hot) water (figure 5).
• Let the accessory drip dry and dry the plastic parts with a soft cloth.
• Reinsert the accessory by placing the back part on the projections shown in figure 7-A, then refasten the handle of the accessory to the clasps above (figure 7-B).
• Reinsert the upper drawer and close the door to the freezer compartment.

It is possible to clean the STOP FROST accessory on its own without completely defrosting the freezer compartment. Cleaning the STOP FROST accessory regularly helps to reduce the need to completely defrost the freezer compartment.

Note: the product specifications, including volume and energy, are calculated without the STOP FROST accessory.

"ZERO DEGREES" COMPARTMENT

(depending on the model)

The "Zero Degrees" compartment is specifically designed to maintain a low temperature and the correct humidity to preserve fresh food for longer (for example, meat, fish, fruits and winter vegetables).

Humidity control technology coupled with Activ0° provides the best food preservation when the food is not completely packed.

Turning on and turning off the compartment

The internal temperature of the compartment is approximately 0°C when the compartment is turned on.

To turn on the compartment, press the button shown in the figure for more than one second until the symbol lights up.

The lit symbol means that the compartment is working. Press the button again for more than one second to turn off the compartment. To turn off the compartment completely, you must remove the drawer.

For the correct functioning of the "Zero Degrees" compartment, it is necessary that:

• the refrigerator compartment is turned on
• the temperature is between +2°C and +6°C
• the drawer in the "Zero Degrees" compartment must be inserted for it to be turned on
• one of the following special functions is not selected: Stand-by, Cooling-Off, Vacation (if present), in this case, remove the food contained in it.

Note:

• if the symbol does not light up when you turn on the compartment, check that the drawer is properly inserted; if the problem persists contact the authorised Technical Assistance Service.
• if the compartment is turned on and the drawer is open, the symbol in the control panel may automatically turn off. The symbol will light up again when the drawer is inserted
• regardless of the state of the compartment, you may hear a faint noise, which you should consider as normal
• when the compartment is not in operation, the temperature inside it depends on the general temperature of the refrigerator compartment. In this case, it is advised that fruits and vegetables that are not sensitive to cold (berries, apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.) are stored in it.

Important: if the compartment is turned on and food with a high water content is present, condensation may form on the shelves. In this case, turn the function off temporarily.

Be careful when positioning food and containers that are small in size on the upper shelf of the "Zero Degrees" compartment in order to prevent them accidentally falling between the shelf and the back wall of the refrigerator compartment.

Removing the "Zero Degrees" compartment:

Carry out the following steps:

• to make it easier to remove the compartment, we recommend that you empty (and possibly remove) the lower door shelves
• turn off the compartment
• remove the compartment by rotating it upwards
• remove the white plastic shelf under the compartment

Note: it is not possible to remove the upper shelf and side supports.

To use the "Zero Degrees" compartment again, carefully reposition the white plastic shelf under the compartment before inserting the drawer and turning the function back on.

To have a larger refrigerator volume and to reduce energy consumption, it is recommended that you turn off the "Zero Degrees" compartment and remove the compartment.

Clean the compartment and its components occasionally using a cloth and a solution of warm water (taking care not to submerge the white plastic shelf under the drawer) and neutral cleaning agents specifically for cleaning the inside of the refrigerator. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

Before cleaning the compartment (also externally) it is necessary to remove the drawer to disconnect the electrical supply for the compartment.

It is recommended to set the temperature to a lower setting, and if available, activate the fast freeze function (see the quick guide) a few hours before removing food from the compartment and the freezer, to preserve the food during the defrosting phase. To defrost, unplug the appliance. Place the frozen food in a cool place. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. To avoid water spillage during defrosting, it is recommended to place an absorbent cloth in the lower part of the freezer compartment and to wring it out regularly.

Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it carefully.

Plug the appliance back in and put the food back inside.

(depending on model)

The compartment, called "zero degrees", is specially designed to maintain a temperature and humidity level suitable for preserving fresh food for a longer time (e.g., meat, fish, poultry, and green vegetables).

The humidity control technology, combined with active circulation, ensures better preservation of food when it is not fully packaged.

Switching the compartment on and off

The temperature in the drawer is approximately 0°C, and the drawer is closed.

To open the drawer, press the button shown in the figure for more than one second until the light symbol turns on.

The light symbol indicates that the drawer is working. Press the button again for more than one second to close the drawer. To close the drawer completely, you must wait a moment.

For the correct functioning of the "Zero Degree" drawer, it is necessary:

• The refrigerator compartment must be switched on
• The temperature must be between +2°C and +6°C
• The drawer must be placed correctly so that it can be switched on
• One of the special functions must not be selected: Ready, Cool-Down, Vacation (if present), in which case the food is stored at a different temperature.

Note:

• If the symbol does not light up when you switch on the drawer, check that the drawer is correctly placed; if the problem persists, contact the technical assistance service. If the drawer is switched on and the drawer is open, the control symbol may switch off automatically. The symbol will light up again when the drawer is placed back.
• Regardless of the state of the drawer, you may hear a slight noise, which should be considered normal.
• When the drawer is not working, the temperature inside it depends on the ambient temperature in the refrigerator compartment. In this case, we recommend storing foods that are not sensitive to cold (e.g., dairy products, onions, garlic, carrots, spinach, parsley, etc.) in it.

Important: If the drawer is switched on and there is food with high water content, condensation may form on the shelves. In this case, switch off the function temporarily. Wipe dry before placing food and containers of small size on the upper shelf of the "Zero Degree" drawer, to prevent them from falling between the shelf and the back wall of the refrigerator compartment.

Removing the "Zero Degree" drawer:

Remove the special shelves:

To remove the drawer, we recommend that you remove (or possibly remove) the door shelves - except the drawer - remove the drawer by closing it upwards - remove the white plastic filter under the drawer.

Warning: The drawer may not be able to be removed.

To reuse the drawer, place the white plastic filter under the drawer, press the drawer and perform the function.

To increase the volume in the refrigerator and reduce energy consumption, it is recommended to remove the drawer and take it out.

Clean the drawer and its components using a cloth and a solution of warm water (and pay attention to avoid damaging the white plastic filter under the drawer) and a mild cleaning agent, specially designed for cleaning the interior of the refrigerator. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

Before cleaning the drawer (and the outside), it is necessary to remove the drawer to disconnect the connection to the drawer.

Instructions for use

Switching on the appliance

1. Plug in the appliance
2. When the appliance is plugged in, it is normally factory set to a temperature of 5°C.

Adjusting the temperature

For temperature adjustment, see the enclosed product sheet.

Note:

Ambient air temperature, the frequency of door opening, the introduction of hot food and unsuitable appliance positioning can all affect the internal temperature of the refrigerator, which may differ from that shown on the display.

Storing food in the refrigerator compartment:

Cover food to prevent it drying out. The distance between the shelves and the rear wall inside the refrigerator ensures the free circulation of air. Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Do not place hot food in the refrigerator. Store liquids in closed containers.

Important:

Storing vegetables with a high water content can cause condensation to form on the glass shelves; this will not affect the correct operation of the appliance.

MEAT & FISH BOX (depending on model)

The Meat & Fish box was designed specially to keep foods fresher for longer, without altering nutritional values or original freshness. Do not store fruit or vegetables in this box, as the temperature may drop below 0°C, causing water contained in the food to freeze.

Temperature Adjustment

The temperature inside the Meat & Fish box is indicated by the position of the arm on the door of the box, and depends on the general temperature of the refrigerator compartment.

We recommend setting the temperature of the refrigerator compartment between +2° and +6°. To work out if the temperature inside the Meat & Fish box is correct, refer to the pictures below:

When the arm points to the left, you need to raise the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.

When the arm is in the middle, the temperature is ok.

When the arm points to the right, you need to lower the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.

Important: when the function is activated and foods with a high water content are present, condensation may form on the shelves. In this case, disable the function temporarily.

Removing the Meat & Fish compartment:

To ensure correct operation of the product, adequate preservation of food and to optimise energy consumption, it is advisable not to remove the Meat & Fish compartment if the symbol (see Quick Guide) is not present on the control panel. In all other cases, the Meat & Fish compartment can be removed to obtain more space inside the refrigerator.

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the compartment drawer (Figure 1).
2. Remove the drawer cover by releasing the bottom side clips (Figure 2).

To reinstate the Meat & Fish compartment, make sure to refit the drawer cover before inserting the drawer and reactivating operation.

1. Press the "Meat & Fish compartment function" button on the control panel for 3 seconds, until the yellow indicator goes off.

To optimise energy consumption, it is advisable to deactivate the Meat & Fish compartment and remove its components (except the shelf above the crisper drawers).

"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°C.

To activate the compartment, press the button shown in the figure for more than 1 second, until the symbol lights up.

The symbol lit indicates that the compartment is functioning. Press the button again for more than 1 second to deactivate the compartment.

The following factors are vital for the "Zero Degrees" box to work properly:

• the refrigerator compartment must be switched on
• the temperature of the refrigerator compartment must be between +2°C and +6°C
• the box must be inserted to enable activation
• no special functions must have been selected (Standby, Cooling-Off, Vacation – where applicable).

If one of these special functions has been selected, the "Zero Degrees" box must be deactivated manually, and any fresh food inside it removed. If manual deactivation does not take place, the box will be deactivated automatically after 8 hours.

Note:

• if the symbol does not light up when the box is activated, check that the box is properly inserted; if the problem persists, contact your nearest authorized After-sales Service
• if the box is active and the drawer open, the symbol on the control panel may be deactivated automatically. If the drawer is inserted, the symbol will become active again
• Irrespective of the state of the box, a slight noise may be heard: this is normal and is not a cause for concern.
• When the box is not active, the temperature inside it depends on the general temperature inside the refrigerator compartment. In this case, we recommend it is used to store fruit and vegetables which are not sensitive to cold temperatures (fruits of the forest, apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.).

Important: If the function is activated and food with high water content is present, condensate may form on the shelves. In this case, temporarily deactivate the function.

When placing small containers and food products on the top shelf of the "zero degrees" compartment, make sure they do not accidentally fall between the drawer and the back of the refrigerator compartment.

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.

To restore "Zero Degrees" box operation, make sure you replace the white plastic shelf underneath the box before inserting the drawer and reactivating the function. To optimise energy consumption, we recommend you deactivate the "Zero Degrees" box and remove it.

Clean the box and all its parts regularly, using a cloth and a solution of warm water and neutral detergent specifically formulated for refrigerator interiors (take care not to immerse the white plastic shelf underneath the box in water).

Before cleaning the box (including the outside), remove the drawer so as to disconnect the box from the electricity supply.

Never use abrasive detergents.

HOW TO USE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT (if present)

The appliance you have just bought, marked by the symbol ★★★★, allows the freezing of fresh and cooked food, the production of ice cubes, and the storage of frozen food. Please read these instructions carefully, as they include a description of your appliance and useful hints to enable you to achieve the best performance required to freeze fresh food and to store already frozen food.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE (Fig. 1) Control panel

A) Operation control lamp (green light) B) Temperature control lamp (red alarm light) C) Temperature control knob (thermostat) D) Open door alarm switch (if present) E) Baskets (freezing-in and storage baskets) F) Storage basket only. G) Eutectic system: remove from drawer F and insert into the high compartment E to optimise the product's consumption.

Some models are supplied with containers filled with cooling liquid (eutectics).

INSTALLATION

Ensure that the appliance is not damaged. Transit damages must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours of receipt of the appliance. The appliance should not be installed close to heat sources such as cookers, central heating, boilers, sunlight, etc. It must however be located in a well ventilated dry space.

Attention: Accessibility to the plug has to be guaranteed even after installation of the appliance to disconnect it, if required. Alternatively, connect the appliance to the mains by means of a two-pole switching device with contact separation of 3 mm situated in an accessible position.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND OPERATION

Please check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate situated inside the compartment corresponds to the voltage in your home. The earthing of this appliance is compulsory by law. The manufacturer will accept no liability for injury to persons or damage to objects arising from the non observance of this requirement.

When the appliance is plugged in, if the thermostat knob is not set to symbol , the green and the red lamps (A) and (B) (Fig. 1) light up. The green control light always remains alight and indicates the operation of the appliance. The red control light remains alight until the set operation temperature has been attained. It lights up again when the temperature inside the freezer rises due to frequent or prolonged door opening, and when the appliance has been loaded with fresh food to be frozen.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE TEMPERATURE

The thermostat (Fig. 1) controls the temperature inside the appliance. Position · indicates that the operation of appliance is interrupted. The ideal storage temperature of frozen food for a long time is -18°C . In normal ambient conditions (temperature between +20°C and +25°C ), we suggest you adjust the thermostat control knob to a middle position. To obtain colder or warmer temperatures than -18°C , turn the thermostat control knob to the highest or lowest setting respectively. We remind you that internal temperatures are affected by the location of the appliance, the temperature of the surrounding air, the frequency of the door opening. The setting of the thermostat may have to be varied to allow for these factors. To check the temperature of the food stored, place the thermometer (if delivered) under the food; if it is placed on the food it will indicate the temperature of the air which does not correspond to that of the food stored.

USE OF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

This appliance is equipped with an acoustic alarm which sounds when the door is left open (if present).

FREEZING IN (Fig. 2)

The amount of fresh food which can be frozen in a 24 hours period at an ambient temperature of +25° C is stated on the rating plate.

Do not store warm foods in the freezer. Never re-freeze partially or completely defrosted foods. Prepare and wrap foods to be frozen in aluminium or plastic foils or place them in appropriate containers. Label the packets indicating the freezing-in date and the contents. The freezer compartment maintains the storage temperature for 15 hours approx. even in case of power failure.

We suggest however you leave the door closed during this time.

Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and some products, such as flavoured water ices, should not be consumed too cold.

Note: Due to the efficiency of the door seal, it is not always possible to open the freezer door immediately after closing it. Wait some minutes before trying to open it.

PRODUCTION OF ICE CUBES

Fill the ice cube trays 3/4 full with water and place them in the low temperature compartment. If the trays stick to the bottom of the compartment, do not detach them with sharp or cutting instruments, which could damage the appliance. If necessary, use the handle of a spoon. To remove ice cubes from plastic trays, bend them slightly.

Attention: Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after removal from the low temperature compartment as they may cause cold burns.

STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD

When buying frozen food, it is suggested to use thermal bags or cold boxes. They should be the last purchases made and should be well wrapped in newspaper. When home, store them in the compartment with the least possible delay. In any case, these foods have to be used within the date printed on the packet.

THAWING

Here are some basic suggestions:

Raw vegetables: Do not thaw - put straight into boiling water and cook as usual.

Meat (large cuts): Thaw in the refrigerator without unwrapping them. Before cooking, leave at room temperature for some hours.

(Small cuts): Thaw at room temperature or cook directly.

Fish: Thaw in the refrigerator without unwrapping or cook directly before being completely thawed.

Previously cooked food: Re-heat in the oven without removing from its aluminium container.

Fruit: Thaw in the refrigerator.

DEFROSTING

Generally you need to defrost two or three times a year when the layer of frost reaches a 3 mm thickness. We suggest you periodically remove the frost from the freezing plate by means of a plastic scraper. Avoid using sharp or cutting instruments. Defrosting should be carried out when the quantity of food stored is minimum. Wrap the frozen food into several layers of newspaper (or in a cover) and place them in the refrigerator or in a cool place. Adjust the thermostat control knob to position, disconnect the appliance from the mains and leave the door open. Remove the baskets by pulling forward and up. Do not use commercial defrosting products as they could contain dangerous components. At completion of defrosting, clean and dry the appliance carefully. Reconnect the freezer to the mains supply. Reload the freezer with the frozen food.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

A periodic and proper maintenance will ensure a longer life to your appliance. Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before any intervention. Clean periodically the appliance with a solution of water and vinegar. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive or detergents. Clean periodically the door gasket with water and dry carefully. Avoid soiling the door gasket with oil or other grease which could damage it. After cleaning, reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.

HINTS FOR HOLIDAYS

If you plan to be away for a long time, disconnect the appliance from the mains, empty and clean the inside. Leave the door open to prevent the appliance from smelling musty. If you plan to be away for a short time, let the appliance operate normally.

SERVICE

The incorrect operation of the appliance is not always due to a fault but it may also result from poor installation or usage. To prevent unnecessary service calls for which you will be charged, we suggest you consult this trouble-shooting guide.

If the red light is on continuously or flashing, the internal temperature is too high.

Check that:

• the door is not properly shut;
• the thermostat control knob is correctly set (see chapter "Adjustment of the temperature");
• the freezer is not near a source of heat;
• there is a large build up of frost on the inner walls; the air flow is not restricted.

If the compressor functions continuously. Check that:

the ambient temperature is too warm; - the door is not being opened too frequently. The appliance is excessively noisy. Check that: the appliance is level.

The appliance does not operate. Check that:

• the thermostat control knob is not set to position ;
• there is not a power failure;
• the plug is making good contact with the supply socket;
• any automatic circuit breakers have tripped or any fuses blown;
• the supply cable is intact (see also Note).

Note: When replacing a damaged supply cord, be sure the new cord is correctly clamped. If you have followed this trouble shooting guide and your freezer still does not work properly, get in touch with your Retailer or Service Agent. State clearly what is wrong and the type and serial number of your freezer.
