Freezer Compartment  
Installation  
! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read  
these operating instructions carefully. They contain important  
information for safe use, for installation and for care of the  
appliance.  
GB  
When the product is switched on the freezer compartment is  
set to its default value of -18°C. We recommend that the SUPER  
FREEZE function is set (the freezer status bar continues to display  
the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the  
compartment; when the inside of the compartment has reached  
its optimal temperature the function will be deactivated and the  
food may be placed inside.  
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference.  
Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.  
Refrigerator Compartment  
When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator compartment  
is set to its default value of +5°C. We recommend that the SUPER  
COOL function is set (the refrigerator status bar continues to  
display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process  
of the compartment. After a few hours it will be cool enough for  
food to be placed inside.  
Positioning and connection  
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.  
Navigating the display  
Setting the temperatures:  
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.  
If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer  
compartment displays will indicate the temperature values set at  
that moment. To change them, simply press the - and + buttons  
corresponding to the compartment for which you wish to change  
the set temperature. More specifically, each time the buttons are  
pressed, the temperature increases or decreases and the level of  
cold generated inside the compartment is adjusted accordingly.  
The temperature values that may be selected for the refrigerator  
compartment are +8°C, +7°C, +6°C, +5°C, +4°C, +3°C and +2°C,  
while the values that may be set for the freezer are -18°C, -19°C,  
-20°C, -21°C, -22°C, -24°C and -26°C.  
When the “I-CARE” function is active, the appliance automatically  
adjusts the temperatures according to the conditions inside  
and outside the refrigerator, in order to minimise the amount of  
energy consumed; the activation of this function is signalled by  
the I-CARE LED on the keypad lighting up.  
Levelling  
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.  
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:  
When the HOLIDAY function is active the temperature may not  
be adjusted, however the appliance adjusts itself automatically so  
that the optimal settings for the situation are used: +12°C for the  
refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment.  
The activation of this function is indicated by the HOLIDAY LED  
lighting up.  
• 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.  
To activate and deactivate the functions, simply press the relevant  
button; the function status will be signalled by the corresponding  
LED on the keypad switching on or off.  
Several of the functions (SUPER COOL, SUPER FREEZE, ICE  
PARTY, I-CARE) are incompatible with others (HOLIDAY,...);  
remember that there is a pre-established order of priority which  
will help you to operate the product in the best possible way.  
When the ICE PARTY function has finished, press the ICE PARTY  
button to stop the corresponding LED from flashing and to silence  
the sound alert. The flashing and sound alerts indicate that the  
function is complete and that the bottle should be removed from  
the freezer compartment.  
! 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.  
Child Lock  
To activate the Child Lock function, press and hold the Child Lock  
button for 2 seconds. the activation of this button lock is confirmed  
by a short beep and the illumination of the corresponding LED on  
the keypad. To deactivate the function, press and hold the Child  
Lock button for 2 seconds; deactivation will be confirmed by a  
short beep and by the corresponding LED switching off.  
Start-up and use  
Starting the appliance  
! After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it in an  
upright position and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to  
the electricity mains, to make sure it operates as it should.  
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator well using warm water and  
bicarbonate of soda before placing food inside it.  
• 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).

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  
GB  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Dual led *  
Thanks to the powerful light it emits, the new dual LED lighting  
system offers a clear view of all foods, with no shadowy areas.  
If the LEDs need to be replaced, please contact the Technical  
Assistance Service.  
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.  
Using the freezer to its full potential  
• Adjust the temperature using the display.  
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.  
• 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;  
• 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.  
• 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).  
TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in  
the refrigerator.  
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see  
diagram).  
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer  
compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes  
with food or containers.  
! 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.  
! To maximise space inside the freezer, all drawers [with the  
exception of the bottom drawer] can be removed from their  
positions and the food placed directly on the racks/glass shelves  
supplied [where present].  
* Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain  
models.

temperature).  
• The temperature of the freezer is dangerously high: the  
food inside must not be eaten. The freezer will maintain a  
temperature of approximately -18°C.  
Disposal  
• 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.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for  
information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.  
To switch off the buzzer, open and close the appliance door  
or press the + and – freezer temperature adjustment buttons  
once. Press these buttons a second time to display the set  
value on the freezer display, switch off the TEMPERATURE  
ALARM LED and restore normal operation.  
The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool well.  
• The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.  
• The doors are opened too frequently.  
• The temperature that has been set is too high (see Start-up and  
use).  
• The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.  
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.  
The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.  
• The temperature that has been set is too low (see Start-up and  
use).  
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening  
the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.  
• 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.  
The motor runs continuously.  
• The SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed (rapid  
freezing): the yellow SUPER FREEZE light is on or flashing (see  
Description).  
• The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.  
• The outside ambient temperature is very high.  
• 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.  
The appliance makes a lot of noise.  
• The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see  
Installation).  
• The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate  
and make noise.  
• The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the  
compressor is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.
