							1.  SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In the interest of your safety and to en-
sure the correct use, before installing
and first using the appliance, read this
user manual carefully, including its hints
and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mis-
takes and accidents, it is important to
ensure that all people using the appli-
ance are thoroughly familiar with its op-
eration and safety features. Save these
instructions and make sure that they re-
main with the appliance if it is moved or
sold, so that everyone using it through
its life will be properly informed on ap-
pliance use and safety.
For the safety of life and property keep
the precautions of these user's instruc-
tions as the manufacturer is not respon-
sible for damages caused by omission.
1.1 Children and vulnerable
people safety
• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental ca-
pabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been giv-
en supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to en-
sure that they do not play with the ap-
pliance.
• 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 ap-
pliance as you can) and remove the

selves into it.
• If this appliance featuring magnetic
door seals is to replace an older appli-
ance having a spring lock (latch) on
the door or lid, be sure to make that
spring lock unusable before you dis-
card the old appliance. This will pre-
vent it from becoming a death trap for
a child.

4. FIRST USE
4.1 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and
some neutral soap so as to remove thetypical smell of a brand-new product,
then dry thoroughly.Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will dam-
age the finish.
5.1 DYNAMICAIR
The refrigerator compartment is equip-
ped with a device that allows for rapid
cooling of foods and more uniform tem-
perature in the compartment.
This device activates by itself when nee-
ded, for example for a quick tempera-
ture recovering after door opening or
when the ambient temperature is high.
Allows you to switch on the device man-
ually when needed (refer to "DYNAMI-
CAIR Function").
The DYNAMICAIR device stops
when the door is open and re-
starts immediately after the door
closing.
5.2 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equip-
ped with a series of runners so that the
shelves can be positioned as desired.
5.3 Bottle rack
Place the bottles (with the opening fac-
ing front) in the pre-positioned shelf.
If the shelf is positioned horizontally,
place only closed bottles.
This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in
order to store previously opened bot-
tles. To obtain this result, pull the shelf

6. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a
bubbling sound when the refrigerant
is pumped through the coils or tubing.
This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrig-
erant is being pumped around and
you will hear a whirring sound and a
pulsating noise from the compressor.
This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a
sudden cracking noise. It is natural,
not dangerous physical phenomenon.
This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint
"click" of the temperature regulator.
This is correct.
6.2 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 temperature and the appliance is
fully loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice onthe evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warm-
er settings to allow automatic defrost-
ing and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.
6.3 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporat-
ing 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
6.4 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.
Fruits and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
((1*/,6+9 
						

							special drawer(s) provided. When in con-
tact, lemon juice can discolor the plastic
parts of your fridge. It is therefore rec-
ommended to keep citruses in separate
containers.
Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.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 re-
frigerator.
7. CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before car-
rying out any maintenance oper-
ation.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
7.1 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regu-
larly:
• 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.
Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside
the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age 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 clean-
ers contain chemicals that can attack/
damage the plastics used in this appli-
ance. 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.
7.2 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from
the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment every time the motor compres-
sor stops, during normal use. The de-
frost water drains out through a trough
into a special container at the back of
the appliance, over the motor compres-
sor, 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 overflowing and drip-
ping onto the food inside. Use the spe-
cial cleaner provided, which you will find
already inserted into the drain hole.
