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

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.
