Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature (see Description).
GB
• Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) 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.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not
hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
! 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).
• 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.
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
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.
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.

FLEX COOL BOX. This is the new box to keep meat, fish
and cheese fresh. When positioned in the “lower” part of
the fridge compartment, it is ideal for meat and fish; when
moved to the “top” part of the fridge, it is perfect for
cheese. It can be taken out of the fridge when it is not
needed.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the
back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased
space and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back
wall will be covered in frost or water droplets depending on
whether the compressor is operating or paused. Do not
worry, the refrigerator is functioning normally.
If the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob has been set on
high values with large quantities of food and with a high
ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously,
resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy
consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob
towards lower values (defrosting will occur automatically).
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the
colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The
food should be stored as follows:
PLAY ZONE: Thanks to the new “Play Zone” bottle rack,
you can cool several bottles, cans and energy drinks
quickly to have them constantly at hand.
Above the fruit and vegetable
Fresh fish and meat
bins
If the “Play Zone” is placed on the glass shelf, you can
store large and medium sized bottles on it simply by laying
the bottle on the flat rack. This is ideal for storing wine
bottles. When folded and secured in place on either side of
the shelf, the rack can be used to store cans (at the top),
energy drinks (in the centre) and other cans and energy
drinks can be rested horizontally on the remaining part of
the shelf. When placing cans (onto the Play zone rack),
make sure they do not touch the back of the refrigerator
interior.

The “Play Zone” can be used just like a normal shelf (when
placed flat) and moved up or down along the fridge walls
together with the rest of the shelf. It can be washed easily,
and is also dishwasher safe. The ideal position for the Play
zone rack is the central shelf.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
GB
! 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.

trays.
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.
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.
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).
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.
• 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).
• 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 yellow 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);
MAX
WATER LEVEL
- for large quantities which are greater than the maximum load
indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing
SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light
begins to flash. After 24 hours the indicator light stops flashing
and remains on constantly. Place the food inside the freezer
and close the door. After another 24 hours, the function will
be 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,
which has an adjustable temperature) and place the
food directly onto the evaporator plates.

Precautions and tips
Disposal
! 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.
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.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• 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 appliance with bare feet or with wet or
moist hands and feet.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve
energy.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The
internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure
they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from
escaping (see Maintenance).
• 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.
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
