Start-up and use  
GB  
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).  
TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the  
refrigerator.  
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on  
.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).  
2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the green POWER  
indicator light illuminates.  
3. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average value.  
After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator.  
4. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average value and  
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.  
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is  
too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher  
position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the  
temperature has been stabilised.  
Chiller system  
No Frost  
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following  
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if  
the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for  
the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting  
the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.  
ACTIVE OXIGEN  
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator; ozone  
is a natural substance which combats bacteria and microorganisms,  
reducing their proliferation while limiting unpleasant odours.  
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging the  
freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing bacteria  
build-up.  
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator. The  
very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm, due to  
the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts is released;  
this is completely normal. The amount produced by the device is very  
small and abates quickly as the antibacterial action takes place.  
Device is activated pressing the dedicated key on the dashboard.  
With the Active Oxigen switched on, the device will operate a repeted  
cycle until the key is pressed again. There will be an Ozone emission  
noticed by the switching on of the green led located on the Active  
Oxigen device located in the fridge compartment and a stand-by  
cicle (without zone emission) noticed by blue light.  
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  
• 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.  
*Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain models.

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 water and  
soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.  
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed  
by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium  
power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be  
pulled out before cleaning the appliance.  
Using the freezer to its full potential  
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob 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. Fresh food must be stored  
in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the  
temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.  
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate  
the SUPER FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food in the  
freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER FREEZE  
function again; it will be deactivated automatically after 24 hours;  
• Donotplaceglassbottleswhichcontainliquids, andwhicharecorked  
or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.  
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated  
ontheplatecontainingthetechnicalpropertieslocatedonthebottom  
left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).  
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.  
Holiday function  
To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not necessary to  
switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function which allows it to  
maintain the temperature of the refrigerator compartment at  
approximately 12°C (which can also be used to conserve make-up  
and beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to the  
minimum value in order to preserve the food.  
!To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment,  
it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or  
containers.  
To enable the function:  
set the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob on  
.
! Do not open the door during freezing.  
A double acoustic signal informs you when it has been enabled. A  
single acoustic signal informs you when it has been disabled.  
! 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.  
Replacing the light bulb *  
• To order a replacement bulb please call us on 08448 225 225 or  
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the  
plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below.

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.  
Precautions and tips  
GB  
!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.  
• 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.  
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;
