Start-up and use  
MULTI-USE box: fixed at the  
top of the compartment, this  
was designed to keep various  
foods for longer periods of  
time (for example eggs,  
butter or food in small  
containers); it prevents food  
odours from permeating into  
the refrigerator.  
Starting the appliance  
EN  
! 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.  
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the  
internal light illuminates.  
WINE AREA: this special  
accessory is fixed at the top  
of the compartment and was  
designed to hold up to 3  
bottles of wine, without taking  
up extra space. Bottles may  
be placed in the WINE AREA  
when it is open, yet when the  
compartment is closed it  
takes up just three  
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to  
an average value. After a few hours you will be  
able to put food in the refrigerator.

centimetres of space inside  
the refrigerator.  
1 = warmest  
MAX = coldest  
We recommend, however, a medium position.  
The “cooling section” of the refrigerator is located  
inside the back wall of the compartment, providing  
increased space and improved aesthetics. The back  
wall will be covered in frost or water droplets  
depending on whether the compressor is operating  
or paused. This is not a cause for concern; the  
refrigerator is functioning normally.  
VEGETABLE BINS: two  
practical vegetable bins are  
located in the top  
compartment. These are easy  
to remove and may be taken  
out to be placed on the  
worktop or to be washed.  
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been  
set to a high value, with large quantities of food  
inside and a high ambient temperature outside the  
refrigerator, the appliance could operate  
continuously, resulting in high frost formation and  
high energy consumption: this may be counteracted  
by turning the knob towards lower temperature  
values (defrosting will occur automatically).  
PROFESSIONAL containers:  
two professional containers  
(with covers) are located in  
the lower compartment. They  
were designed to store meat,  
cheeses or fish.  
Using the refrigerator to its full  
potential

• Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to

• 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.

Maintenance and care  
Switching the appliance off  
Defrosting the appliance  
EN  
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to  
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:  
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment  
knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical  
contact.  
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function:  
water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a  
special discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat  
produced by the  
compressor causes it to  
evaporate. It is not,  
therefore, necessary to  
defrost the refrigerator  
Cleaning the appliance  
manually. It is, however,  
necessary to clean the  
discharge hole regularly  
so that the water can

rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that  
has been soaked in lukewarm water and

solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.  
flow out easily.  
• The removable accessories may be soaked in  
warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse  
and dry them carefully.  
Replacing the light bulb*  
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator  
compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical  
socket. Follow the instructions below.  
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.  
Access the light bulb  
by removing the cover  
as indicated in the  
diagram.  
Replace it with a similar  
light bulb within the  
power range indicated  
on the cover (max 10W).

• 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.  
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of  
EN  
children! It can become a choking or suffocation  
hazard.  
Disposal  
This appliance complies with the following  
Community Directives:  
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and  
subsequent amendments;  
• Observe local environmental standards when  
disposing packaging material for recycling  
purposes.  
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic  
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;  
- 2002/96/CE.  
• 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.  
General safety  
• 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.  
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with  
wet or moist hands and feet.  
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this  
could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the  
plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the  
cable.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct  
disposal of their old appliance.  
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.  
• 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  
to eliminate all electrical contact.  
(appliance off)  
• 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.  
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to  
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold.  
• 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 devices or tools other than the special  
scraper provided inside the compartments.  
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the  
freezer into your mouth.  
• 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.
