Precautions and general recommendations
•
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room
far away from any heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly
to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation follow
installation instructions.
• Insufficient ventilation on back of the product
increases energy consumption and decreases
cooling efficiency.
• The internal temperatures of the appliance may
be affected by the ambient temperature,
frequency of door opening, as well as location of
the appliance. Temperature setting should take
into consideration these factors.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down
before placing in the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the fan (if available) with food
items.
• After placing the food check if the door of
compartments closes properly, especially the
freezer door.
• Reduce to a minimum door opening.
• When thawing frozen food, place them in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the refrigerator.
• Appliances could have special compartments
(Fresh Food Compartment, Zero Degree Box,...).
In case not differently specified in the specific
booklet of product, they can be removed,
maintaining equivalent performances.
• Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has
no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food
should be placed on the shelves in such way to
ensure proper air circulation (food should not
touch each other and distance between food and
rear wall should be kept).
• You can increase storage capacity of frozen food
by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost
shelve, maintaining an equivalent energy
consumption.
• Damaged gasket must be replaced as soon as
possible.
• High energy class products are fitted with
highefficiency motors that remain operational for
longer, but have a low power consumption. Do
not worry if the engine continues to run for
longer periods.

Connect the appliance to the mains power supply.
A beep may be emitted by some models, to indicate that the temperature alarm has intervened: press and
hold the button to switch off acoustic alarms. As applicable, insert the anti-bacterial/anti-odour filter into
the fan as indicated on the filter package.
Note: after switching on, the refrigerator needs approximately 4/5 hours to reach the correct
temperature for storing a normal fridge load of food.
First use
Clean the appliance regularly using a cloth and a solution of lukewarm
water and neutral detergent specifically formulated for refrigerator
interiors. Never use abrasive detergents. Clean inside the defrost water
drain outlet on the rear wall of the refrigerator (near the fruit and
vegetable crisper drawer) regularly, using the tool supplied with the
appliance so as to ensure defrost water is removed correctly (see
figure).
Before all cleaning or maintenance procedures, unplug the appliance
from the mains or disconnect the electricity supply.
Appliance maintenance and cleaning
Always unplug the refrigerator before replacing any light bulbs, then follow the relevant instructions in
accordance with the type of lighting fitted in your appliance.
Only use bulbs of the same type, which can be requested from the After-Sales Service and authorised
dealers.
Lighting type 1)
1. Loosen the screws and take off the lamp cover.
2. The lamp has a bayonet bulb and needs to be pulled out, not
unscrewed, following the directions of the arrows as indicated.
3. After the new bulb has been inserted, replace the lamp cover
and wait five minutes before plugging the appliance back in.
Lighting type 2)
To remove the light bulb, turn anticlockwise as shown in the figure.
Wait for 5 minutes before reconnecting the appliance.
Lighting type 3)
If the product has LED lighting which is in need of

Unplug the appliance from the mains, then empty, defrost (if necessary) and clean it. Leave the doors ajar,
so that air can circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and bad
odours.
When the appliance is not in use
Keep the doors closed to allow the stored food to stay cold as long as possible. Do not refreeze partially
thawed food. If the blackout persists, the blackout alarm may sound (depending on the model).
During blackouts
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is designed for the storage of fresh food and beverages.
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall of the compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is
in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it
evaporates.
Depending on the model, the appliance may have a special box ("Meat & Fish" or "Zero Degrees") which is
ideal for the storage of fresh meat and fish.
Important: refrigerator accessories must not be washed in a dishwasher.
Note: the ambient temperature, the door opening frequency and the position of the appliance
may affect temperatures inside the two compartments. Set the temperature in accordance with these
factors.
Note: when there is a lot of moisture inside the refrigerator compartment and on the glass shelves in
particular, condensation may form. In this case, we recommend closing any liquid-filled containers (e.g.:
saucepans full of stock), wrapping foods with a high liquid content (e.g.: vegetables) and setting the
temperature to a warmer value.
Removing the crisper drawer (depending on the model)
If your product only has a crisper drawer, to facilitate its removal we recommend emptying (and, if
necessary, removing) the two lower door trays beforehand.
Fan and anti-bacterial/anti-odour filter (depending on the model)
The fan will ensure uniform air circulation inside the compartment, for improved food storage and excess
moisture reduction. Do not obstruct the fan inlet. The fan can be activated/deactivated manually (see
Quick Start Guide); when activated, it works automatically as necessary.
11
The freezer compartment stores frozen food (for the period indicated on the package) and freezes fresh
food. The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate; place the food in the
freezer compartment (see Quick Start Guide), leaving leaving enough space around the packages to allow air to
circulate. Refreezing partially thawed food is not recommended. It is important to wrap food so that no water,
moisture, or vapour may penetrate.
To save energy and prolong the life of the appliance, make sure hot foods are never placed inside it.
Note: the ambient temperature, door opening frequency and position of the appliance can affect the temperatures
inside the two compartments. Set the temperature based on these factors.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray (where provided) 2/3 full and place it in the freezer compartment. Never use sharp or pointed
objects to remove the ice.
Removing drawers (depending on model)
Pull the drawers all the way out, lift them up a little and remove. To create more space, the freezer compartment
can also be used as follows:
A) If the freezer compartment base resembles figure A, remove the upper
drawers and/or lids. The lower drawer should be left in position. Make sure that,
once the food has been placed on the racks/shelves, the door closes properly.
B) If the freezer compartment base resembles figure B, remove all drawers or lids.
Make sure that, once the food has been placed on the racks/shelves, the door
closes properly.
Removing the lid (if present)
Open the lid and remove the pin, as illustrated in figure C.

No Frost models do not need defrosting.
For other models, if frost forms in the freezer compartment, we
recommend it is defrosted twice a year or whenever an excessive amount
of frost has formed (3 mm thickness).
It is perfectly normal for frost to form.
The amount of frost which forms and the rate at which it builds up
depends on room temperature and humidity, and on how often the door is
opened. To defrost, unplug the appliance and remove all foodstuffs. Leave
the door ajar to allow the frost to melt. For products with a freezer
compartment below the refrigerator compartment, the defrost water drain
pipe can be removed (see figure) and a recipient placed underneath.
After defrosting, replace the drain pipe, making sure that no water is left in
it. Clean inside the freezer compartment and dry carefully.
Switch the appliance back on and place the food back inside.
Defrosting the freezer compartment (depending on the model)

“Zero degrees” box (depending on the model)
The "Zero Degrees" box is specifically designed to maintain a low
temperature and a suitable humidity level, in order to keep foods
fresher for longer (e.g. meat, fish, fruit and winter vegetables).
Activating and deactivating the box
The temperature inside the box, when active, is approximately 0°.
To activate the compartment, press the button
shown in the figure for more than 1 second,
until the symbol lights up
The symbol lit indicates that the compartment is
functioning. Press the button again for more
than 1 second to deactivate the compartment
The following factors are vital for the "Zero Degrees" box to work properly:
- the refrigerator compartment must be switched on
- the temperature of the refrigerator compartment must be between +2°C and +6°C
- the box must be inserted to enable activation
- no special functions must have been selected (Standby, Cooling-Off, Vacation – where applicable).
If one of these special functions has been selected, the "Zero Degrees" box must be deactivated manually,
and any fresh food inside it removed. If manual deactivation does not take place, the box will be
deactivated automatically after 8 hours.
Note:
- if the symbol does not light up when the box is activated, check that the box is properly inserted; if the
problem persists, contact your nearest authorized After-sales Service
- if the box is active and the drawer open, the symbol on the control panel may be deactivated
automatically. If the drawer is inserted, the symbol will become active again
- irrespective of the state of the box, a slight noise may be heard: this is normal and is not a cause for
concern.
- when the box is not active, the temperature inside it depends on the general temperature inside the
refrigerator compartment. In this case, we recommend it is used to store fruit and vegetables which are
not sensitive to cold temperatures (fruits of the forest, apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.).
Important: If the function is activated and food with high water content is present, condensate may form
on the shelves. In this case, temporarily deactivate the function.
When placing small containers and food products on the top shelf of the "zero degrees" compartment,
make sure they do not accidentally fall between the drawer and the back of the refrigerator compartment
.
13
Removing the "Zero Degrees" box:
The "Zero Degrees" box can be removed to create more space inside the refrigerator. In this case
proceed as follows:
- to facilitate removal, we recommend emptying (and if necessary, removing) the two lower door trays
- switch off the box
- pull out the drawer and the white plastic shelf underneath the box.
Note: the upper shelf and the side supports cannot be removed.
To restore "Zero Degrees" box operation, make sure you replace the white plastic shelf underneath the
box before inserting the drawer and reactivating the function. To optimise energy consumption, we
recommend you deactivate the "Zero Degrees" box and remove it.
Clean the box and all its parts regularly, using a cloth and a solution of warm water and neutral detergent
specifically formulated for refrigerator interiors (take care not to immerse the white plastic shelf
underneath the box in water).
Before cleaning the box (including the outside), remove the drawer so as to disconnect the box
from the electricity supply.
Never use abrasive detergents.
