@-!I3J>>-3=>I! This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese fresh. When positioned in the “lower” part of the fridge compartment, it is ideal for meat and fish; when moved to the “top” part of the fridge, it is perfect for cheese. It can be taken out of the fridge when it is not needed. 9!D*!:;9E:!!3Indicator light: to identify the coldest area in the refrigerator. 1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).

2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher (colder) position and wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has stabilised.

3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.

! Available only on certain models.

If the “Play Zone” is placed on the glass shelf, you can store large and medium sized bottles on it simply by laying the bottle on the flat rack. This is ideal for storing wine bottles. When folded and secured in place on either side of the shelf, the rack can be used to store cans (at the top), energy drinks (in the centre) and other cans and energy drinks can be rested horizontally on the remaining part of the shelf. When placing cans (onto the

Play zone rack), make sure they do not touch the back of the refrigerator interior. The “Play Zone” can be used just like a normal shelf (when placed flat) and moved up or down along the fridge walls together with the rest of the shelf. It can be washed easily, and is also dishwasher safe. The ideal position for the Play zone rack is the central shelf.

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. min= warmest max = coldest We recommend, however, a medium position.

1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your refrigerator.

2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact between them, thereby removing both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge. 3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate freely between different items. 4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use oxidiser or abrasive products. 5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator. 6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated.

It is recognisable by aeration cells located on the back walls of the compartments. The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking together and making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.

• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).

• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing. WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. • Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. • The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4)

?0.!3%0.3,12Q The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided).

1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up. Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. 2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray). 3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram).

4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding housing and allowing it to drop in again.

5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening.

MAX WATER LEVEL K3Do not open the door during freezing.

WATER LEVEL K3If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:

K3The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

This appliance complies with the following Community Directives: - 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments; -89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments; - 2002/96/CE.

• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use. • The appliance must be used to store and freeze food products by adults only and according to the instructions in this manual. • The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms. • Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or moist hands and feet. • Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns. • When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable. • Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. • In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance. • Do not use devices or tools other than the special scraper provided inside the compartments. • Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into your mouth. • Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance. Under no circumstance should they be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the door. • Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

• Observe local environmental standards when disposing packaging material for recycling purposes. • The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

."M'0("P."$ • Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near heat sources. • Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy. • Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work continuously. • Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy. • Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance). A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult and results in increased energy consumption. • Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance).

If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.
