! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning

1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly and save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm between the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4. Place the device far from heat sources (direct sun light, electric kitchen etc.)

Levelling

1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front feet.

Electrical connections

After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance,
• The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

! The cable must not be bent or compressed.

! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

* Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain models.

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions (see Installation).

! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.
! Electronic versions are provided with a motor protection switch that powers on the compressor only almost 8 minutes after the starting. The compressor also starts each time the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).

1. Connect the plug and check that the FRIDGE TEMPERATURE indicator turns on. If the indicator stays off, please press the ON/OFF button.

2. Set the FRIDGE TEMPERATURE on an average value. After a few hours it will be possible to insert food in the fridge.

Cooling system

No Frost

Line drawing of a refrigerator front panel with shelves and compartments (no text or symbols)

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.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

COMPARTMENT 3 IN 1 ZONE\*

This is the new box which offers maximum flexibility in order to stock your food in an excellent way.

-store meat, fish and delicate food;

-rapid cooling of hot food from 70^ C to 3^ C and of other fresh foods and leftovers

-low temperature defrosting (it inhibits the proliferation of microorganisms).

You can get the 0^ C temperature, in standard conditions, when the fridge compartment temperature is at about 4^ C.

By decreasing the fridge temperature you decrease the CHILLER compartment temperature too.

SHELVES:

Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf. (see diagram),

TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the refrigerator.

1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).

1. If the word "OK" does not appear it means that the temperature is too high: set the FRIDGE TEMPERATURE on a colder value, and then wait 10 hours until the temperature becomes stable.
2. 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 you set the FRIDGE temperature on a colder value.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• 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 for freezing should not be placed in contact with the one already frozen; it should be placed in the lower FREEZER and STORAGE compartment that provides the best freezing rate.
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate the SUPER function 24 hours before placing the food in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER function again; it will be deactivated automatically after 24 hours;
• 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: 2Kg/24h).
  ! 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 open the door during freezing.
  ! If 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 12-18 hours.

! To get more space inside your freezer, you can take out any drawers (and flaps, if appropriate), from their slots, by putting your food directly on the provided shelves.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

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

1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the device

• 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 enough to turn off the device (with the ON/OFF button) to eliminate all electric contacts.
• 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 any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical equipment - other than the type recommended by the manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage compartments.
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into your mouth.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given Supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be Supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

Disposal

• Observe local environmental standards when disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU 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. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• 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.
