At first button touch actual setting LED keeps blinking. Any time the button is touch the set tem- perature is moved to 1 position right. Corresponding LED will blink for a while. Touch the setting button until the required temperature is selected. The set will be fixed coldest setting: +2°C warmest setting: +8°C A medium setting is generally the most suit- able. However, the exact setting should be chos- en keeping in mind that the temperature in- side the appliance depends on:

• how often the door is opened

• quantity of food stored

• appliance location. Fast Freezing function You can activate the Fast Freezing function by pressing the Fast Freezing button. The LED corresponding to the symbol Fast Freezing indicator lights up. You can deactivate the Fast Freezing func- tion by pressing the Fast Freezing button again. The Fast Freezing indicator will light off. Important! This function stops automatically after 52 hours.

ENGLISH 8First use Cleaning the interior Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accesso- ries with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly. Important! Do not use detergents or abra- sive powders, as these will damage the fin- ish. Daily use Accessories Egg tray

Important! This appliance is sold in France. In accordance with regulations valid in this country it must be provided with a special device (see figure) placed in the lower compartment of the fridge to indi- cate the coldest zone of it. Movable shelves The walls of the re- frigerator are equip- ped with a series of runners so that the safety glass shelves can be positioned as desired. Important! Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation. Positioning the door shelves To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights. To make these ad- justments proceed as follows: gradually pull upwards the shelf until it comes free, then reposition as desired. ENGLISH 9Vegetable Drawers Fruit and vegetables should be placed in these drawers (see the picture). Bottle rack Place the bottles (with the opening facing front) in the pre-positioned shelf. Important! If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only closed bottles. This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order to store previously opened bottles. To ob- tain this result, pull the shelf up so it can ro- tate upwards and be placed on the next higher level. Freezing fresh food The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. To freeze fresh food activate the Fast Freezing function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bot- tom drawer, as this is the coldest point. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance. The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be fro- zen. Freezing Calendar 3-6 1-2 10 -12 3-4 10 -12 3-6 10 -12 3-6 10 -12 3-6 The symbols show different types of frozen goods. The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and treating be- fore freezing. Storage of frozen food When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 12 hours on the Fast Freezing setting. If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers from appliance and place food on glass shelf to obtain the best performance. Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling). Thawing Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, de- pending on the time available for this oper- ation. Small pieces may even be cooked still fro- zen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. ENGLISH 10Ice-cube production This appliance is equipped with two trays for the production of ice-cubes.

1. Fill the trays with water.

2. Put the trays in the freezer compart-

ment Important! Do not use metallic instruments to remove the tray from the freezer. Freezer Blocks Two freezer blocks are supplied in the freezer; this increase the length of time for which food will keep in the event of a pow- er failure or breakdown. Helpful hints and tips Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high, the temperature regulator is on the higher setting and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the temperature regu- lator toward lower settings to allow auto- matic defrosting and so a saving in elec- tricity consumption. Hints for fresh food refrigeration To obtain the best performance:

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.

• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it. Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.

• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the drawer.

• Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

• Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic: if not packed, must not be kept in the re- frigerator. Hints for freezing To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some hints:

• The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rat- ing plate.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be add- ed during this period.

• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thor- oughly cleaned foodstuffs.

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required.

• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the pack- ages are airtight.

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the lat- ter.

• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food.

• Water ices, if consumed immediately af- ter removal from the freezer compart- ment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt. ENGLISH 11• It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time. Hints for storage of frozen food To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

• Make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer.

• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapid- ly and cannot be refrozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period indica- ted by the food manufacturer. Care and cleaning Caution! Before carrying out any maintenance operation, disconnect the power supply. This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by au- thorized technicians. Warning! The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher. Periodic cleaning The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly. Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet. Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour. Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush . This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption. Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system. Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added. After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply. Defrosting of the refrigerator Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the re- frigerator compart- ment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost wa- ter drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appli- ance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates. It is important to periodically clean the de- frost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to pre- vent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special clean- er provided, which you will find already in- serted into the drain hole. No defrosting of the freezer The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on the foods. ENGLISH 12The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compart- ment, driven by an automatically controlled fan. Periods of non-operation When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from electrici-

4. Clean the appliance and all accesso-

5. Leave all doors ajar to prevent un-

pleasant smells. If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure. What to do if… Caution! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the power supply. Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not in this manual. Important! There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation). Problem Possible cause Solution The appliance is noisy. The appliance is not installed properly. Check if the appliance stands stable. The appliance does not operate. The lamp does not operate. The appliance is switched off. Switch on the appliance. The plug is not connected to the mains socket correctly. Connect the plug to the mains socket correctly. The appliance has no power. There is no voltage in the mains socket. Connect a different electrical appliance to the mains socket. Contact a qualified electrician. The lamp does not work. The lamp is in stand-by. Close and open the door. The lamp is defective. Refer to "Replacing the lamp". The compressor oper- ates continually. The temperature is not set correctly. Set a higher temperature. The door is not closed cor- rectly. Refer to "Closing the door". The door has been opened too frequently. Do not keep the door open longer than necessary. The food temperature is too high. Let the food temperature de- crease to room temperature before storage. ENGLISH 13Problem Possible cause Solution The room temperature is too high. Decrease the room tempera- ture. Water flows on the rear plate of the refrigera- tor. During the automatic defrost- ing process, frost defrosts on the rear plate. This is correct. Water flows into the re- frigerator. The water outlet is clogged. Clean the water outlet. Products prevent that water flows into the water collector. Make sure that products do not touch the rear plate. Water flows on the ground. The melting water outlet does not flow in the evaporative tray above the compressor. Attach the melting water outlet to the evaporative tray. The temperature in the appliance is too low/ high. The temperature regulator is not set correctly. Set a higher/lower tempera- ture. If your appliance is still not working proper- ly after making the above checks, contact the After Sales Centre. You can find the list at the end of this manual. Replacing the lamp The appliance is equipped with a longlife LED interior light. Only service is allowed to replace the light- ing device.
