cover re-fitted.
If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until
a replacement is obtained.
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. Ensure the appliance is far away from any sources of
heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
Replacement fuse covers:
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the
correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the
colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug.
Electrical connections
After transportation of the appliance, 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:
Changing the plug:
Removing the plug
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug
and you should wish to remove it to add a longer cable
or to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units
etc. please ensure that either:
• 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 plug is replaced by a fused 13amp re-
wireable plug bearing the BSI mark of
approval.
or
-
The mains cable is wired directly into a
13amp cable outlet, controlled by a
switch (in compliance with BS 5733)
which is accessible without moving the
appliance.
• 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.

foods inside the freezer.
Refrigerator compartment
When you turn the refrigerator compartment on (by
turning REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob to the
required refrigerator compartment operating
temperature), we recommend you enable the SUPER
COOL function to speed up the cooling process inside
the compartment: after a few hours, you may place food
inside the refrigerator.
A.I.R. SYSTEM (Advanced Integrated Refrigeration)
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see
diagram). The A.I.R. System maintains a constant fridge
temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will
quickly restore the temperature to the correct level, even
if the door is opened frequently: the blown air (A) is
cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall,
whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).

Using the display
! The SUPER FREEZE function features a double mode
of operation (see paragraph on operating the freezer
compartment).
GB
Setting the temperature
If the compartment concerned is switched off, the word
OFF will appear on the relative indication space on the
display (REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT setting and
FREEZER COMPARTMENT setting). If the compartment is
switched on, then the temperatures set at that time will
appear. To change them, turn the relative knob directly
(REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob and FREEZER
OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob).
The refrigerator compartment can be set to between
+2°C and +8°C, while the freezer compartment can be
set to a temperature of between -18°C and -26°C. The
temperature in both cases can be increased or
decreased by 1°C at a time.
Enabling/disabling the DEMO mode:
To run a demonstration of the display operation while
keeping the appliance turned off, just enable the DEMO
mode.
Enabling:
- set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF
Knob to 0ff;
- keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed for
approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer and
the two words “OFF” and “OFF” flash on the display;
these words will flash for the entire duration the DEMO
mode is enabled.
When the HOLIDAY function is enabled, temperature
regulations cannot be made, but the appliance
automatically sets itself to the best setting for the
situation: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment (if
enabled) and -18°C for the freezer compartment.
Disabling:
- set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF
Knob to 0ff;
- keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed for
approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer and
the two words “OFF” and “OFF” on the display stop
flashing.
Function status

Using the refrigerator to its full potential
Function selected (outline flashing)
Function enabled (outline on)
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust
the temperature (see Description).
• Activate the SUPER COOL function 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.
Enabling/disabling the functions
Press the MODE button as many times as necessary for
the red outline of the function you wish to act on to light
up: this indicates that the function has been selected
and is ready to be enabled or disabled. Now you can
enable or disable the selected function using the
SELECT button.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment,
not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
! If you do not confirm your selection by pressing the
button within five seconds of the last action
performed on the display, the latter shall go back to
displaying the function previously set and indicate that
no new modification has been made.
• 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.
! The SUPER COOL function is linked to the refrigerator
compartment and when the latter is switched off, no action
whatsoever will be possible on the former, other functions
foresee an operation that can create conflicts (for example,
when the HOLIDAY and SUPER FREEZE functions are
enabled simultaneously), in this case a pre-set priority is
taken into consideration in order to help you operate the
appliance.
9
Using the freezer to its full potential
ICE trays.
GB
The Easy Ice trays are set into the top part of the freezer
drawers to maximise the space within the freezer. The
trays are drip-free and sealed to prevent food from
tainting the ice cubes.
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/
OFF 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).
1. Check that the tray is completely empty and fill it with
water through the opening provided.
• 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.
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).
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer
because they could break.
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the
tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding
housing and allowing it to drop in again.
• 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).
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.
• To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):
- For small quantities, less than the maximum capacity
indicated on the data plate (situated on the lower left,
next to the salad crisper), enable the SUPER FREEZE
function on the display in the "24 hour" mode and insert
the food to be frozen. To enable the function, press the
MODE button as many times as necessary for the
SUPER FREEZE symbol to start flashing and then press
the SELECT button to enable the SUPER FREEZE
function. After 24 hours, or once the optimal
MAX
WATER LEVEL
temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing
function is automatically disabled.
- For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the
maximum load indicated on the data plate situated on
the lower left, next to the salad crisper), enable the
SUPER FREEZE function on the display in the "48 hours"
mode: To enable the function, press the MODE button as
many times as necessary for the SUPER FREEZE symbol
to start flashing and then press the SELECT button for
more than three seconds to ensure the function is
enabled (symbol SUPER FREEZE function starts to flash
slowly). After 24 hours, the function symbol will stop
flashing and go back to being permanently lit; you can
now insert the food to be frozen. After another 24 hours,
the function will be disabled automatically.
ICE PARTY: to bring a bottle of
sparkling wine or champagne
to the right temperature. Place
it in the bucket provided inside
the FREEZER and STORAGE
compartment. The bucket may
be used to serve the bottle,
keeping it cool.
! 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.
10
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Holiday function
GB
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
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 15°C
(which can also be used to conserve make-up and
beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to
the minimum value (1) in order to preserve the food. T
1. set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF
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, it is sufficient to set the FREEZER
OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF knob on 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.
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.
11
Defrosting the appliance
Replacing the light bulb
GB
! Follow the instructions below.
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment,
pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the
instructions below.
Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any
devices or tools other than the scraper provided, you
may damage the refrigeration circuit.
Access the light bulb (A) by unscrewing the fixing screw
(B) which is located at the back of the lampcover, as
shown (see diagram). Replace it with a similar light bulb,
the power of which should not exceed 15W.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function:
water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special
discharge outlet (see
A
diagram) where the heat
produced by the
compressor causes it to
evaporate. It is necessary
to clean the discharge
hole regularly so that the
water can flow out easily.
B
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Remove frost regularly using the special scraper
provided. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is
necessary to defrost manually.
If the frost is more than 5 mm thick, then you must defrost
the freezer completely. Proceed as follows: one day before
enabling the SUPER FREEZE function in the 24-hour mode;
it helps give the food a healthy extra "cold shock". After
24 hours, the freezing function is automatically disabled
but you can disable it yourself. Turn the appliance off by
turning the appliance ON/OFF knob. WARNING: this
operation switches off the whole appliance (including the
fridge compartment).
Wrap all frozen foods in newspaper and place them either
in another refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the door
open, so as to allow all the frost to melt completely, helping
it along with containers filled with lukewarm water.
Clean and dry thoroughly before restarting the appliance.
Remember that the motor will not start immediately, but
rather after approximately 8 minutes.
12
Precautions and tips
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in
Disposal
GB
compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.
• 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 may take their old appliance to public
waste collection areas, other communal collection
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a
retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are
active in the creation of systems to manage the
collection and disposal of old appliances.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
• 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 (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
• 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.
• 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 place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The
internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• Do not use devices or tools other than the special
scraper provided inside the compartments.
• 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.
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into
your mouth.
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play
with the appliance. Under no circumstance should they
be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the door.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping (see Maintenance).
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

alarm buzzer is sounded. To silence this buzzer, just shut the door or
press the SELECT button. Should the door remain open for more than 4
minutes, the lamp will flash more rapidly.
Abnormal freezer heating alarm
a) To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer (e.g. momentary
power failure), a buzzer will sound and a message comes up on the
display “A1” to signal the dangerous heating of the compartment. To
prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a temperature
of 0°C, thus allowing you to use up the food within 24 hours or to cook
them and then refreeze them. You can turn the buzzer off simply by
pressing the SELECT button.
To return to normal operation and cancel the message from the display, you
need to turn the appliance off and on again, turning the appliance FREEZER
OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob.
b) If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to excessively high
values, the buzzer will sound yet again and another message “A2” will
