Installation and Setting up
Proper installation of the appliance is essential to 
ensure the best and most efficient performance of 
your appliance.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, 
therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less 
than perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation 
of the appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a 
room with an opening (window or French window) that 
provides the appropriate amount of air recirculation. Н is 
also important that the room should not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the 
grates that allow proper ventilation of the appliance. For 
proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave:
– a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and any 
cabinets above it;
– a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the 
appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is  
directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or 
the like.
Levelling
The floor should be perfectly levelled; if not, you can 
adjust the feet at the front of the appliance.Before placing foodstuffs in the freezer, clean the interior 
well with warm water and baking soda.
 
After having plugged the appliance in, make sure that 
pilot lamp is light.
Set thermostat knob onto a medium position and can 
place food in the fridge after only a few hours.
 
Earthing
Before making the electrical connection, check that the 
voltage shown on the data plate, that you will find on the 
bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper, 
corresponds to that of your mains and that the socket is 
earthen in conformity with all current electrical regulations. 
If the system is not ear then, the manufacturer declines all 
liability for consequent damages or losses. Do not use 
adapters or multiple sockets.
Check the power load
The electrical socket must support the maximum power 
load of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the 
bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the 
crisper).
Before plugging the appliance to the mains
Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before 
plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper 
performance.

Using the freezer to
its full potential
GB
Use the thermostat knob to adjust the temperature.
Do not open the door during freezing.To avoid blocking 
the air circulation inside the freezer, it is advisable not to 
obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers.
- Food that has be thawed, even par tially, must not be re-
frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 
hours) or to freeze it once again.
- For the best conservation and defrosting, remember to 
freeze small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform 
freezing. Mark package with a description of the contents 
and the date it was frozen. In the case of power failure or 
breakdown, do not open the freezer door. This will help 
maintain the temperature inside the freezer ensuring that 
foods are conserved for at least 17 hours.
- Do not store full bottles in freezer since they could 
explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids 
increase in volume when frozen).In order to freezer and then thaw foods optimally, it is 
recommended that you divide food into small portions 
so that they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages 
should be clearly marked with the content and the date 
they were frozen. 
Super Mode: this mode assures continuous compressor 
operation up to achievement of low temperatures, 
necessary for quick food freezing. After food freezing, the 
appliance should be switched over to a normal operation 
mode.
In order to frost some quantity of fresh produce/food 
(no more than half of the maximum pointed out on the 
door-plate/ name board inside your refrigerator), put the 
produce in the evaporator/freezing section (* ***) and 
switch on mode of operation «Super» for 24 hours.
In order to frost maximum (for your refrigerator) quantity 
of  fresh produce you should switch on mode of operation 
«Super» 24 hours before produce laying. Put the produce 
in the evaporator/freezing section (* ***) and switch off 
mode of  operation «Super» in 24 hours.

Energy saving tips
Install it well
This means that the appliance should be installed away 
from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well-ventilated 
room.
Correct temperature settings
Set the freezer temperature knob to one of the medium 
settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a 
great deal of energy but will neither improve or lengthen 
the storage life of the food. Excessively low temperature 
may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and cheese.
Do not overfill 
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air 
circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this 
circulation and overwork the compressor.Shut the doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary;
remember that every time you open the door most of 
the cold air will be lost. The motor will have to run, and 
consume energy, to restore the correct temperature.
Check the door gaskets
Keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely 
against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
Never store hot foods
A container of hot food in the freezer will increase the 
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room 
temperature before storing.

Maintenance and care
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.
Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to 
speed up the defrosting process, unless they have 
been recommended by the manufacturer.
How to Defrost the Freezer
This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is 
drained to the back towards the drain pipe installed for 
this purpose. 
Cleaning and maintenance
Always unplug the appliance from the mains before
cleaning.
– Yo ur a p p li anc e i s m anu f ac t ur e d w i t h hygi e ni c o d o ur l e s s 
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use 
sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the 
formation of odours that are difficult to remove.
– Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the 
internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge 
soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate 
solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do 
not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral 
detergent.– What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach 
or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent-
based products.
– Dishwashable: All the removable parts can be 
cleaned by soaking in hot soapy water or detergent. If 
you own a dishwasher, you may wash these parts in the 
dishwasher.
Remember to dry thoroughly before replacing them.
– What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the 
back panel and affect the proper running of the appliance. 
To remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully 
using the appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.
– Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is 
not in use for any length of time, remember to clean the 
interior and dry thoroughly, leaving the doors open to 
prevent the formation of bad odours and mould.
– This special sound when the thermoregulator and 
compressor are turned on is a normal state, which 
appears during the working process of the appliance’s 
electric installation.
