Start-up and use Starting the appliance ! After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it in an upright position and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains, to make sure it operates as it should. Clean the inside of the refrigerator well using warm water and bicarbonate of soda before placing food inside it.

The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout). Freezer Compartment When the product is switched on the freezer compartment is set to its default value of -18°C. We recommend that the SUPER FREEZE function is set (the freezer status bar continues to display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the compartment; when the inside of the compartment has reached its optimal temperature the function will be deactivated and the food may be placed inside. Refrigerator Compartment When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator compartment is set to its default value of +5°C. We recommend that the SUPER COOL function is set (the refrigerator status bar continues to display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the compartment. After a few hours it will be cool enough for food to be placed inside. Navigating the display Setting the temperatures: If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer status bars will indicate the temperatures set at that moment. To change them, simply press the

buttons corresponding to the compartment for which you wish to change the set temperature. More specifically, each time one of the buttons is pressed the temperature is increased or decreased by 1°, and the level of cold is adjusted accordingly.The temperature values that may be selected for the refrigerator compartment are +12°C, +7°C, +6°C, +5°C, +4°C, +3°C and +2°C, while the values that may be set for the freezer are -18°C, -19°C, -120°C, -21°C, -22°C, -24°C and -26°C. The temperatures are automatically set to +5°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment (these are standard food storage values. When the ECO function is active, the appliance automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the conditions inside and outside the refrigerator; the operation of this function is signalled by the text AUTO. Whenever it is necessary to activate the ECO function at temperatures that are different to the standard storage values, the ECO button must be pressed as soon as the function is activated and held down while the new temperatures are set using the

buttons. Under these conditions, the temperatures may be set to 4°C, 5°C and 6°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C, -19°C and -20°C for the freezer compartment. When the HOLIDAY function is active the temperature may not be adjusted, however the appliance adjusts itself automatically so that the optimal settings for the situation are used: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment. This function is indicated by the text. To activate and deactivate the functions simply press the relevant button and the function status will be signalled by the corresponding LED switching on or off. Several functions (SUPER COOL, SUPER FREEZE, BOTTLE CHILL , ECO) are incompatible with others (HOLIDAY,...); remember that there is a pre-set order of priority which will help you to use the product in the best possible way. When the BOTTLE CHILL function has finished, press the BOTTLE CHILL button to stop the corresponding LED from flashing and to silence the sound signal. This flashing and sound signal indicates that the function is complete and that the bottle should be removed from the freezer compartment. Child Lock In order to activate the Child Lock function, the Child Lock button must be pressed for 2 seconds; the activation of the button lock is confirmed by a short beep and the illumination of the corresponding LED. To deactivate the function, press the Child Lock button for 2 seconds; deactivation will be confirmed by a short beep and by the corresponding LED switching off.

The FREEZER status bar is also used to indicate an unusual temperature increase in the freezer compartment (see Troubleshooting).6

Chiller system No Frost 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 Adjust the temperature using the display. Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the temperature quickly, for example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge and the internal temperature rises slightly. This function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level. Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never hot foods (see Precautions and tips). 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. SHELVES: with or without grill. Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf. Lift shelf The lift shelf is a special shelf which optimises the space inside the refrigerator compartment. It may be placed in either of the two positions shown in the diagram. The most appropriate operating configuration may be achieved easily, thanks to special guide rails which offer balanced upward or downward movement.

! hold the shelf with both hands and perform an even upward or downward movement. If you wish to place the shelf in position A, simply lift it and it will lock into place automatically. To restore its original position (B), simply lift the shelf slightly then push it downwards into the desired position. COOL BOX: for fresh meat and fish. Due to the compartments low temperature (the coldest in the refrigerator) and to the clear door that provides protection against oxidation and blackening, food can be stored for even up to one week. It can also be used for cold meals. BEVERAGE CAN shelves. The can rack on the inner door allows you to store not only cans, but also yoghurt, butter and other containers, according to your requirements.

Using the freezer to its full potential Adjust the temperature using the display. To freeze (if the freezer is already operating): - for small quantities which are less than those indicated on the data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button (corresponding indicator light illuminates), insert the food and close the door. The function is disabled automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures have been reached (indicator light goes out); - for large quantities which are greater than the maximum load indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light begins to flash. After 24 hours the indicator light stops flashing and remains on constantly. Place the food inside the freezer and close the door. After another 24 hours, the function will be disabled automatically (indicator light goes out). 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. 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). ! 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 9 - 14 hours. ! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. ICE DEVICE After pouring water in the special ice cups, place them in their places in the ice device. After about 2 hours, the ice cubes will be ready. In order to get the ice cubes, it will be sufficient to turn the two buttons to the right. The ice cubes will fall in to the tray below, ready to be used.8

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

1. Hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two

seconds until OFF appears on both indicator displays (refrigerator and freezer).

2. Pull the plug out of the socket.

! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal operation, hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds. To disconnect the appliance, follow points 1 and 2 above. Cleaning the appliance The external and internal parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia. The removable accessories may be soaked in warm soapy water or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully. The back of the appliance may collect dust. This can be removed by carefully using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug disconnected from the electricity mains before it is cleaned. Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours The appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odour free materials. Food should be wrapped well and containers closed properly in order to maintain this hygiene. This will also prevent the formation of stains. If you wish to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open. Maintenance and care Replacing the light bulb To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below. Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range indicated on the cover (10W). To replace the light bulb in the freezer compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below. Access the light bulb (A) by unscrewing the fixing screw (B) which is located at the back of the lampcover, as shown (see diagram). Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range indicated on the cover (10W or 15W).

Precautions and tips ! The 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. General safety 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. Always switch the appliance off and disconnect it from the electrical supply before cleaning it or carrying out maintenance work. It is NOT sufficient to hold the ON/ OFF button down for more than two seconds 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 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. 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. Disposal 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. 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. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance).10
