SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

= warmest

= coldest

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment is adjusted depending on the position of the thermostat knob. For environment average temperatures (25 ± 5 °C), in order to get the

right balance between performance and power consumption, we recommend using the thermostat positions included in the range ECO. You turn off the product by setting it on the OFF position.

FIRST TIME USE

HOW TO START THE APPLIANCE

After plugging the appliance to the mains, turn the thermostat knob to switch on the appliance: cooling and light will switch on; set the knob on the desired power (see: "Control panel", at page1).

After starting the appliance, wait at least 4-6 hours before placing food into the fridge and into the freezer compartment.

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.

AIR FAN

It is recommended to activate Fridge AIR by turning ON bottom in high ambient temperature, over 30°C. After Air enable temperature in fridge compartment will drop, it can be necessary to regulate termostat knob to warmer position.

it is recommended to turn OFF AIR when ambient temperature turn back to temperature below 30^ C, and regulate product to reache required temperatures.

Do not block the air inlet with foods.

FLEXI USE BOX container

This is the new box which offers maximum flexibility in order to stock your food in an excellent way. If you put in the low section of your fridge compartment, on

the crisper box, it becomes CHILLER, and it guarantees a temperature very close to 0°C, which is ideal to:

- store meat, fish and delicate food;

- rapid cooling of hot foods;

- 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. If you put it in the "upper" part of the fridge compartment (A1), it will be suitable to store fruit and vegetables, thus giving you the possibility to have a second crisper box.

SOME OF THE FUNCTIONAL SOUNDS YOU MIGHT HEAR

A hissing sound when switching on the appliance for the first time or after a long pause.

A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluid enters into the pipes.

BRRR sound is from the compressor running.

Buzzing sound when water valve or fan start working.

A cracking sound when compressor starts.

Crack Cock

The CLICK is from the thermostat which adjusts how often the compressor is running.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Possible Cause Solution

THE APPLIANCE IS NOT WORKING There may be an appliance power supply problem.	> Check if power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper voltage.> Check if the protection devices and fuses of the electrical system in your home
THERE IS WATER IN THE DEFROST PAN This is normal in hot, damp weather.The pan can even be half full.	> Make sure the appliance is level so that the water does not overflow.
THE EDGES OF THE APPLIANCE CABINET, WHICH COME IN CONTACT WITH THE DOOR SEAL, ARE WARM TO THE TOUCH	This is not a defect.This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is running.
THE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK	The light may need replacing.The appliance may be in On/Stand-by model	> Make sure if the protection devices and fuses of the electrical system in your home work well.> Check if the power cable is plugged into a live socket with the proper voltage> In case the LEDs are broken the user must call the Service for exchange of the same type available only at our After-sales Service Centers or authorized dealers.
THE MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH	Motor running time depends on different things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the temperature controls.	> Make sure that the appliance controls are correctly set.> Check if there is not a large amount of food been added to the appliance.> Check that the door is not opened too often.> Check that the door close properly.
THE APPLIANCE TEMPERATURE IS TOO HIGH	There could be various causes (see “Solutions”)	> Make sure that the condenser (back the appliance) is free of dust and fluff.> Make sure that the door properly closed.> Make sure that the door seals properly fitted.> On hot days or if the room is warm, the motor naturally runs longer.> If the appliance door has been left open for a while or if large amounts of food have been stored, the motor will run longer in order to cool down the interior of the appliance.
THE DOORS DO NOT OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY	There could be various causes (see “Solutions”)	> Check that food packages are not blocking the door.> Check that the internal parts or automatic ice maker are not out of position.> Check that the door seals are not dirty or sticky.> Ensure the appliance is level.
THE FOOD INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR IS BEGINNING TO BE FREEZE	Ambient temperature is warm (below 30°C) and refrigerator AIR FAN is turned ON.	> Regulate product to warmer knob position (or to warmer display setting.> For products with display), disable AIRFAN in refrigerator.

FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass containers and cling film to wrap foods.

Always use closed containers for liquids and for food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer or cover them.

If you have a little quantity of food to store in the refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the coolest area of the compartment.

Foods which give off a large amount

ethylene gas and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit, vegetables and salad, should always be separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for example do not store tomatoes together with kiwi fruits or cabbage.

To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle holder (available on selected models).

Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient air circulation.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer is the ideal storage location for store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment.

The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24-hour period is indicated on the rating plate (...kg/24h).

If you have a little quantity of food to store in the freezer, we recommend to use the coldest areas of your freezer compartment, corresponding to the bottom area.
