Climate class - Maximun room temperatures Each appliance’s climate class is shown on its characteristics plate and indicates what temperature ranges the appliance is designed to work in. Climate class Room temperature SN +10 ºC to 32 ºC N +16 ºC to 32 ºC ST +18 ºC to 38 ºC T +18 ºC to 43 ºC Ventilation Figure E The hot air produced between the appliance and the wall behind it must be allowed to escape easily, otherwise the appliance shall have to work harder than necessary and thereby incur high and unnecessary electricity consumption. For this reason, the ventilation and air openings must never be blocked. Usable capacity Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Connecting the appliance/ Turning it on/ Setting the temperature Clean the appliance before turning it on for the first time. Connecting the appliance The mains electricity supply socket must be easily accessible. Connect the appliance to a 220-240 V (N/SN) or 220- 230 V (ST)/50 Hz AC electricity current via an earthed electricity socket fitted in accordance with relevant standards. The connection must be protected by a fuse of at least 10 amps. When an appliance is to be used in a Non-European country, it is necessary to check that the connection voltage and the type of current described on the appliance’s characteristics plate are the same as the national mains electricity system. The characteristics plate is on the bottom left-hand side inside the refrigerator compartment. Should it be necessary to change the mains electricity supply plug, then this must be carried out by the brand’s specialist technicians. Warning! Do not under any circumstances whatsoever connect the appliances to electronic energy-saving connection devices (e.g. Ecoboy, Sava Plug, etc.) or inverse rectifiers which convert DC currents into 230 AC currents (e.g. solar energy systems, maritime electricity systems).

• Press button 1 to turn the refrigerator compartment on. The light comes on when the door is opened.

• Press button 12 to turn the freezer compartment on.

• Alarm indicator light 8 lights up after turning the freezer on (See Control Panel section. 8 alarm indicator light) The appliance is factory-set to the following basic settings Refrigerator temperature: +6ºC Freezer temperature: -18ºC Setting the temperature The set temperatures can be changed. See the descriptions in the following sections: 3 Refrigerator temperature setting button. 9 Freezer temperature setting button. Note refrigeration zones in the refrigerator compartment! The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment means that there are zones at different temperatures. Depending on the model, the zone for sensitive foods is right at the bottom between the arrow on the side and the glass surface below (fig. !1/1 and 2) or between the two arrows (fig. !2/1 and 2). Ideal for storing meat. fish, sausage and salad mixtures, etc. Information and warnings regarding the appliance when in use .

• The fan (Fig. Q/18) turns itself on and off as required by the refrigerator compartment.

• The front of the freezer housing heats up slightly. This prevents condensed water from forming in the area of the door seal.

• When the refrigeration system is working, drops of water or frost form on the back wall of the refrigerator. This is perfectly normal and occurs for technical reasons. It is not necessary to scrape the frost or dry the drops as they should desappear automatically. Defrosting water is collected in the drainage duct (Fig. I/A) and returned to the refrigerator system, where it then evaporates.

• When air conditions are extremely humid, condensed water may form inside the refrigerator, particularly on the glass shelves. Should this happen, then food in the refrigerator should be wrapped and a lower temperature set.

• Sometimes after closing the door, it may not be possible to open it straight away. This is because a depression is created inside the appliance when the door is opened. When this happens, wait two or three minutes before trying to open the door again to allow the depression inside the appliance to be compensated for.

• The refrigeration system your appliance uses means that frost may form quite quickly on some points of the freezer shelves. This does not in any way affect the working order of your appliance or bring about any increase in electricity consumption. EN.qxd 05/10/05 13:50 Page 2223

Accumulated frost need only be removed if the layer of frost or ice reaches a thickness of more than 5mm on the entire freezer shelf surface.

• Do not allow grease or oil to come into contact with plastic parts inside the refrigerator or the door seal. Both this plastic and the rubber door seal are liable to perish.

• To enhance appliance performance to the full, do not place foodstuff near to the refrigerator compartment sensor (fig. Q/19). Turning off and disconnecting the appliance Turning off the appliance

• To turn the refrigerator off, press button W/1. The interior lighting and display W/4 both go aut.

• To turn the freezer off, press button W/12. Display W/7 goes out. Disconnecting the appliance When the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time:

• Remove the plug from the mains electricity socket.

• Defrost and clean the appliance.

• Leave the doors on the appliance open. Refrigerator equipment The positions of the shelves in the refrigerator and the racks and shelves on the inside of the door can be changed individually: Figure R

• Slide the shelves forwards, tilt them downwards and remove. Figure T

• Lift the racks and shelves on the inside of the door and remove or set to new position. Optional equipment (not included on all models) Bottle rack Figure Y The rack means that bottels do not fall over when the door is opened or closed. EN.qxd 05/10/05 13:50 Page 2324

Freezing and storing frozen food Things to remember when buying ultra-frozen products Make sure that the wrapping on the frozen product is not or has not been damaged in any way. Check the best before/expiry dates on food. Make sure that these have not passed. The temperature indication on the freezer at the establishment where you purchase your food should show a minimum temperature of -18ºC. Whenever possible take the products home straight away in an isothermal bag. Freezing fresh food at home Warning! Do not use materials which may be harmful to the health when wrapping or sealing food. Suitable material to wrap food up in Plastic film, polyethylene bags and film, aluminium foil, boxes and containers specially designed for frozen food. Suitable material to seal food wrapping with Elastic bands, plastic clips, string, nonfreezable adhesive tape, etc. Whenever possible, ensure that frozen food already in the freezer compartment does not come into contact with the fresh food you wish to freeze. Information about the max. freezing capacity according to current standards can be found on the rating plate. The maximum freezing capacity for fresh food in 24 h (distributed on the freezer racks) is indicated on the characteristics plate (in Kg/24h), see figure !!0. In order for it to maintain its nutritional value, vitamins and appearance, it is necessary to freeze the middle of the food as fast as possible. For this reason, the appliance’s maximum freezing capacity should not be exceeded. In the event of needing to freeze a large quantity of foodstuff, all the freezer drawers can be removed (except the lowermost drawer) and the food can be stacked on the freezer shelves. To remove the drawers, pull them out to their limit and then tilt them upwards. When freezing products in the freezer drawers, reduce the appliance’s freezing capacity slightly. If you wish to keep already-frozen food in the freezer, turn the “super” function on several hours before putting the fresh food in the freezer. Storing frozen products

• In order not to obstruct the free circulation of air inside the appliance, make sure that all the freezer drawers in the compartment are pushed in to the limit. EN.qxd 05/10/05 13:50 Page 2425

Freezing calendar In order not to affect its quality and nutritional value, frozen food should be consumed before its maximum “best before date” at -18ºC is up. Fish, up to 6 months pre-cooked food, bread and pastries Chesse, poultry up to 8 months and meat Fruit and vegetables up to 12 months Making ice cream Warning! Do not use electric ice-cream makers inside the freezer compartment. Making ice cubes Figure U (not included on all models) 3/4 fill the ice tray with water. Place it in the freezer compartment. Separate the bottom of the ice tray from the bottom of the freezer compartment using a blunt object (e.g. the handle of a spoon). To remove the ice cubes from the tray, place the tray under running tap water for a short period of time or bend it slightly. Place the ice tray in the first drawer to make ice cubes more quickly (Fig. Q/17). Defrosting and cleaning the unit Clean the refrigerator once a month. You are recommended to clean the freezer compartment each time you defrost it. Danger of electric shock! Do not use any kind of vapour/steam cleaning device. Hot steam could damage the surfaces on the appliance or its electric system. The electrical safety of your appliance could be seriously affected! Do not scrape ice or frost using knives or other sharp objects. Do not damage the parts and components which make up the cold circuit, for example by piercing the refrigerant fluid pipes. If the refrigerant fluid spurts out under pressure, then you are in danger of injury to your eyes. The agent may also catch fire. Under no circumstances whatsoever are you to use electric appliances or active fire sources (e.g. candles or petrol lamps) inside the appliance. EN.qxd 05/10/05 13:50 Page 2526

Defrosting the freezer compartment

• Remove the drawers and any food they may contain from the freezer compartment. Place frozen food on the cold accumulator (if supplied). Store the drawers in the coldest place possible.

• Unplug the appliance from the mains electricity socket.

• After defrosting the appliance, empty the defrosting water that has gathered. Clean and dry the bottom of the freezer compartment with a sponge. Special defrosting sprays Observe the instructions and warnings provided by the spray manufacturer strictly. Warning! Special defrosting sprays should be used with the utmost caution. These sprays can be a source of explosive gas or contain solvents or propellants which may harm the plastic parts on the unit or even be harmful to the health. Practical defrosting advice

• To speed the defrosting process up, a pan with very hot (not boiling) water can be placed on a protective support base inside the freezer compartment. Cleaning the appliance

• Clean with warm water and a small amount of disinfecting detergent, such as mild manual washing-up liquid. The door seal should only be cleaned with clean water. It should be dried properly after cleaning. Make sure that the water used to clean the appliance does not enter the drainage orifice and flow to the evaporation tray. Under no circumstances should abrasives, scrubbing products or cleaning substances which contain acid or chemical solvents be used. Never wash the shelves, racks, containers or drawers in a dishwasher. The parts may lose shape!

• Plug the mains cable into the mains electricity socket. Connect the fuse. EN.qxd 05/10/05 13:50 Page 2627

Practical energy-saving advice

• Install the appliance in a cool, dry, well-ventilated room. Remember that the appliance should not be installed in a position in which it receives direct sunlight or near to an active heat source, such as a cooker, radiator, etc.

• Let food and drink reach room temperature before putting them in the freezer.

• Defrost frozen products by placing them, for example, in the refrigerator compartment. In this way, the cold temperatures given off by the frozen food will help refrigerate the fresh food in the refrigerator.

• Keep the door on the appliance open for as short a time as possible.

• Clean the rear grille on the refrigerator (condenser) to enhance appliance performance to the full. Information about the noises the appliance makes while in use Perfectly normal sounds Quiet humming sound This is unavoidable when the compressor is in use.
