groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it  
reaches the ideal level.  
Unlock  
Lock  
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not 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  
humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.  
Freezer compartment  
ICE CARE 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).  
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.  
• 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): 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);  
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).  
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.  
! 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.

restore normal operation bring the FREEZER OPERATION knob  
setting to (off) and turn the appliance on again.  
The green POWER indicator light flashes.  
• The appliance is not operating correctly. Contact the Technical  
Assistance Centre.  
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.  
• 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 air from escaping (see  
Maintenance).  
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 OPERATION knobs are not on the correct setting (see  
Description).  
• The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.  
The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.  
• The REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob is not on the correct  
setting (see Description).  
• The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the refrigerator.  
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.  
• The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm (see Maintenance).  
Troubleshooting  
If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see  
Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.  
The appliance makes a lot of noise.  
• The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see  
Installation).  
The green POWER indicator light does not illuminate.  
• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not  
far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house.  
• 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.  
The motor does not start.  
• The appliance comes with a motor protection control (see Start-  
up and use).
