SAFETY INFORMATION  
In the interest of your safety and to ensure the correct use, before installing and first using  
the appliance, read this user manual carefully, including its hints and warnings. To avoid  
unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all people using the ap-  
pliance are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features. Save these instruc-  
tions and make sure that they remain with the appliance if it is moved or sold, so that ev-  
eryone using it through its life will be properly informed on appliance use and safety.  
For the safety of life and property keep the precautions of these user's instructions as the  
manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by omission.  
Children and vulnerable people safety  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physi-  
cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have  
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person re-  
sponsible for their safety.  
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.  
• Keep all packaging well away from children. There is risk of suffocation.  
• If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connection  
cable (as close to the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent playing chil-  
dren to suffer electric shock or to close themselves into it.  
• If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an older appliance having a  
spring lock (latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before  
you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death trap for a child.  
General safety  
WARNING!  
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of  
obstruction.  
• The appliance is intended for keeping foodstuff and/or beverages in a normal household  
as explained in this instruction booklet.  
• Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process.  
• Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating  
appliances, unless they are approved for this purpose by the manufacturer.  
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.  
• The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the appli-  
ance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is neverthe-  
less flammable.  
During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that none of the com-  
ponents of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.  
If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:  
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition  
 
Safety information  
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated

with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-  
new product, then dry thoroughly.  
 
10  
Daily use  
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.  
If “dEMo” appears on the Display, the appliance is in demonstration mode: refer to “WHAT  
TO DO IF...” paragraph.  
DAILY USE  
Movable shelves  
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a  
series of runners so that the shelves can be posi-  
tioned as desired.  
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can  
lie over the rear ones.  
Positioning the door shelves  
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at dif-  
ferent heights.  
Positioning the sliding box  
The sliding box can be placed at different heights.  
To make these adjustments proceed as follow:  
1. lift the shelf with the sliding box up-  
wards and out of the holders in the  
door  
2. remove the retaining bracket out of the  
guide under the shelf  
3. Reverse the above operation to insert  
the sliding box at a different height.  
 
Helpful hints and tips  
11  
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS  
Hints for energy saving  
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.  
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low tempera-  
ture and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing  
frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward  
warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consump-  
tion.  
Hints for fresh food refrigeration  
To obtain the best performance:  
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator  
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour  
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it  
Hints for refrigeration  
Useful hints:  
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable  
drawer.  
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.  
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.  
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special draw-  
er(s) provided.  
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in alu-  
minium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.  
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.  
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
CAUTION!  
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.  
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must  
therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.  
Periodic cleaning  
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:  
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.  
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from  
debris.  
• rinse and dry thoroughly.  
 
12  
Care and Cleaning  
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.  
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes  
to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.  
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a  
brush. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity  
consumption.  
Take care of not to damage the cooling system.  
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the  
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of  
this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.  
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.  
Defrosting of the refrigerator  
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment ev-  
ery time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out  
through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor com-  
pressor, where it evaporates.  
It is important to periodically clean the defrost  
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator  
compartment channel to prevent the water over-  
flowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use  
the special cleaner provided, which you will find  
already inserted into the drain hole.  
Periods of non-operation  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:  
disconnect the appliance from electricity supply  
• remove all food  
defrost4) and clean the appliance and all accessories  
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.  
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food  
inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
