Starting the appliance  
GB  
! 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).  
disabled automatically (indicator light goes out).  
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in  
the freezer compartment, you may remove the  
bins (except the lowest bin and the special COOL  
CARE ZONE bin (if exists), which has an adjustable  
temperature) and place the food directly onto the  
supplied rack.  
! 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 make sure that  
the green POWER indicator light illuminates (the  
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob must be in the  
OFF position).  
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an  
average value and press the SUPER FREEZE button  
(rapid freezing): the SUPER FREEZE indicator light  
will illuminate. It will switch off once the freezer has  
reached its optimal temperature. At this point food  
may be placed inside the appliance.  
ICE tray  
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the  
freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no  
longer comes into contact with the food placed inside  
the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the  
water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole  
after filling with water is also provided).  
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up. Check that the tray  
is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the  
opening provided.  
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX  
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice  
cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the  
ice to melt and empty the tray).  
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected  
compartments each mould fills with water (see  
diagram).  
Using the freezer to its full potential  
• Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust the  
temperature.  
MIN = warmest  
MAX = coldest  
is the optimal temperature for energy saving levels.  
We recommend, however, a medium position.  
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has  
already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked  
and eaten (within 24 hours).  
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray  
back.  
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time  
approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard  
surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes  
come loose and take them out through the opening.  
• 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 FREEZER and  
STORAGE compartment.  
• 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 within the freezer (for example: Kg/24h: 4).  
• 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);

Switching the appliance off  
GB  
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to  
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:  
1. set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL Knob on OFF;  
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, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT  
knob to the OFF position and then turn it back to the  
desired value. To disconnect the appliance, follow point  
1 and 2.  
Cleaning the appliance  
• The external and internal parts, as well as 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  
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.  
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.

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.  
Disposal  
GB  
• 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.  
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  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal  
of their old appliance.  
• 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.  
Respecting and conserving the  
environment  
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or moist  
hands and feet.  
• WARNING: do not damage the refrigerant circuit.  
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could  
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
• 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.  
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the  
mains socket, do not pull on the cable.  
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the  
appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It is not  
sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on OFF  
(appliance off) 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 utensils other than the scraper provided, or  
electrical equipment which is not of the type specified by the  
manufacturer, inside the frozen food storage compartments.  
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into your  
mouth.  
• 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.  
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to  
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air  
from escaping (see Maintenance).  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including  
children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of  
experience and knowledge unless they have been given  
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance  
by a person responsible for their safety. Children should  
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the  
appliance.  
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can  
become a choking or suffocation hazard.
