PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

•

Use the 

refrigerator compartment

 only for 

storing fresh food and beverages and use the 

freezer compartment only for storing frozen 

food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.

•

Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the 

appliance.

•

Do not store liquids in glass containers in the 

freezer compartment - danger of bursting.

•

Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately 

after taking them out of the freezer 

compartment - risk of “cold” burns.

•

Do not allow children to play or hide inside the 

appliance - risk of becoming trapped and 

suffocating.

•

Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the ice 

packs (if provided).

• Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, 

unplug it from the mains or disconnect the 

electrical power supply.

•

The power cable may only be replaced by an 

authorised person.

•

After installation, make sure that the refrigerator 

is not standing on the power supply cable.

Declaration of conformity

This appliance is intended to come into contact with 

foodstuffs and conforms to D.L. 108 of 25.01.1992 

(European Directive 89/109/EEC)

.

Information

Appliances with Isobutane (R600a).

Isobutane is a natural gas with low environmental 

impact. Caution is required, however, since 

isobutane is flammable. Therefore, it is essential to 

ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.

HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR 

COMPARTMENT

The refrigerator compartment is designed for the storage of fresh food and beverages.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic.

The refrigerator can operate at ambient temperatures b16°C and +43°C. Optimal performance is 

obtained at temperatures b18°C and +43°C.

Switching on the appliance

•

Plug in the appliance.

•

The appliance will switch on automatically.

•

The inside light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened.

Using the refrigerator

•

Adjusting the temperature.

For correct operation and optimum storage of food, adjust the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer 

compartments separately.

Refrigerator thermostat

To adjust the temperature in the refrigerator compartment, turn the thermostat knob to the desired position.

•

After being switched on, the refrigerator needs approximately 2 hours to reach the correct temperature 

to store a typical volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.

Moisture control

Some foods, such as fruit and vegetables, lose moisture when 

stored in cold, dry places. The crisper drawer maintains the right 

temperature and moisture level for storing fruit and vegetables. 

Using the Control Device, it is possible to adjust the airflow inside 

the crisper drawer.

•

We recommend you keep the Control Device closed when storing 

vegetables and open when storing fruit.

TEMPERATURE

TYPE OF USE

Minimum

Small amounts of food stored.

The door is seldom opened. 

Medium

Normal use.

Maximum

Large amounts of food stored.

The door is opened frequently.
