2. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator.  
3. Press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the SUPER  
FREEZE indicator light will illuminate. Once the refrigerator has  
reached the optimal temperature, the indicator light goes out  
and you can begin food storage.  
Installation  
! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these  
operatinginstructionscarefully. They containimportantinformationfor safe  
use, for installation and for care of the appliance.  
GB  
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass  
them on to possible new owners of the appliance.  
Using the refrigerator to its full potential  
Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION button to adjust the  
temperature (see Description).  
Positioning and connection  
Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower  
the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a  
large number of new food items inside a fridge the internal  
temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly cools the  
groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it  
reaches the ideal level.  
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. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct  
sunlight, electric stove, etc.).  
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the appliance  
and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in the installation  
kit, following the instructions provided.  
Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not 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  
humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.  
SHELVES: Due to the special guides the shelves are removable  
and the height is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large  
containers and food.  
Levelling  
FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin*  
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.  
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially  
designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh and  
crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to store  
food in a less humid environment like fruit, or close it (position A)  
to store food in a more humid environment like vegetable  
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:  
A
The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.  
The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance,  
which is indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side  
of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).  
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.  
B
Using the freezer to its full potential  
Use the FREEZER OPERATION button to adjust the temperature  
(see Description).  
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.  
!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.  
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).  
To freeze (if the freezer is already operating): press the  
rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button (corresponding blue  
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)  
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.  
! 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).  
! Do not store food too large in the upper freezer drawer if is  
present the ‘Ice Device”.  
! 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.  
1. Insert the plug into the socket and switch on the product using  
the appropriate button, ensure that yellow refrigerator and freezer  
temperature lights illuminates

closure mechanism is deactivated. To reactivate it, simply close  
the drawer a little more forcefully than is usually necessary.  
GB  
The double tub was designed to optimise space in the freezer  
compartment and to ensure that ice is always readily available.  
The trays can be stacked or filled and used separately.  
Furthermore, the special fastening system makes Easy Ice an  
extremely flexible solution, as it can be positioned in the right or  
left part of the top drawers.  
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours  
The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which  
are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator  
and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be  
covered or sealed properly.  
If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period  
of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.  
I Care function  
The I Care function can be enabled to optimise energy  
consumption. Press and hold down the SUPER COOL and  
REFRIGERATOR OPERATION buttons simultaneously for at least  
6 seconds to enable this function.  
On enabling the function, 4 indicator lights will go on for 2 seconds:  
SUPER COOL light, SUPER FREEZE light and two temperature  
lights - one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer.  
After 5 seconds the interface will enter the energy saving mode  
and the indicator lights will go off. The interface stays off even  
when the door is opened. Just press any button to switch it on  
again. Press the adjustment buttons to change the temperature.  
Consumption will be optimised 48h after the function was  
enabled. To disable the I Care function, switch off the product  
(see description). The product can be switched on again for  
normal operation.  
Food Care Zone *  
Area dedicated to the storage of fresh food, such as meat and  
fish. Thanks to the low temperature inside the compartment, the  
Food Care Zone extends the period of time for which the food  
can be stored, keeping it fresh for up to a week.  
Food Care Zone 0°C / Safe Defrost* :  
A compartment designed to keep delicate food such as meat  
and fish fresh. The low temperature in the compartment (-2 / +3°  
C) makes it possible to store the food for up to one week - tests  
performed on meat products - without changing its nutrients,  
appearance and flavour.  
In humid environments, when the I Care function is enabled, slight  
condensation may form on the doors; normal operating conditions  
are restored when the function is disabled.  
The compartment is also very suitable for healthy food defrosting,  
as low-temperature defrosting prevents any proliferation of  
microorganisms, while protecting its taste and organoleptic  
properties.  
It is not suitable for fruit, vegetables and green salad. But it can  
be used for fresh or very fresh dairy products and milk, stuffed  
fresh pasta and even cooked food or leftovers.  
Replacing the led*  
Thanks to the powerful light it emits, the new LED lighting system  
offers a clear view of all foods, with no shadowy areas. If the LED  
needs to be replaced, please contact the Technical Assistance  
Service.
