BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR  
In order to maximise the performance of your  
refrigerator, carefully read the user  
instructions and the attached product sheet,  
which provide useful food conservation tips  
and a description of the appliance. Keep this  
booklet for future reference.  
The product you have purchased is an automatic  
refrigerator, or a refrigerator with a low  
temperature compartment (see attached  
product sheet), and is for domestic use only.  
The refrigerator compartment defrosts  
automatically and is used for the preservation of  
fresh foods and drinks.  
1. After unpacking, check the refrigerator for  
damage and make sure the doors close  
properly. Any damage must be reported to the  
retailer within 24 hrs of delivery.  
2. Leave the appliance standing in a vertical  
position for at least 2 hours before  
connecting it to the power supply (to allow  
the refrigerant circuit time to settle).  
3. Make sure that the installation and electrical  
connection are carried out by a qualified  
technician in compliance with the  
manufacturers instructions and local safety  
regulations.  
The  
low temperature  
compartment, if featured, is used for the  
conservation of deep-frozen and frozen foods  
and for making ice-cubes; defrosting is manual.  
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT  
Information:  
1. Packaging  
The packaging material is 100% recyclable, as  
confirmed by the recycling symbol. Follow local  
regulations for waste disposal.  
Keep potentially hazardous packaging (plastic bags,  
polystyrene, etc.) out of the reach of children.  
This appliance is free of CFC’s (refrigerant circuit  
contains R134a) or free of HFCs ( refrigerant circuit  
contains R600a - Isobutane). For more details,  
please refer to the rating plate on the appliance.  
2. Product  
The refrigerator has been manufactured using  
recyclable materials. Follow local waste disposal  
regulations when scrapping. Cut off the power  
cable to prevent connection to the mains.  
Dispose of the appliance at your local recycling  
plant for refrigerant gases.  
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL  
RECOMMENDATIONS  
Only use the refrigerator compartment to  
store fresh foods only and the low temperature  
compartment to store deepfrozen foods and  
making ice-cubes.  
Do not cover or close the air vents.  
Do not put glassware containers holding liquids in  
the low temperature compartment since they  
may explode.  
Do not eat ice-cubes or ice-lollies immediately  
after taking them out of the low temperature  
compartment, since they may cause cold-burns.  
To prevent the risk of trapping and suffocation,  
do not allow children to play or hide inside the  
refrigerator.  
• The power cable may only be replaced by  
authorized personnel.  
Declaration of conformity  
This appliance is designed to store food products  
and complies with European Directive  
89/109/EEC.  
For appliances with Isobutane (R600a)  
The refrigerant Isobutane is a natural gas of high  
environmental compatibility but which is  
inflammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that  
the ducts of the refrigerant circuit do not get  
damaged.  
• Before cleaning or servicing the appliance,  
always unplug it or switch off the mains  
power supply.

HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR  
COMPARTMENT  
This is an automatic refrigerator or refrigerator with  
star low temperature compartment.  
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is fully  
automatic.  
The refrigerator operates in an ambient temperature ranging  
from + 16°C to + 32°C.  
Switching on the refrigerator  
Insert the plug in the mains socket. The thermostat allows  
you to set the temperature inside the refrigerator  
compartment without altering the conditions inside the low  
temperature compartment.  
Setting the temperature:  
1. For correct operation and excellent storage results in  
both compartments, set the thermostat between  
positions 2 and 3.  
2. To set the temperature inside the compartments, turn  
the thermostat as follows:  
• 1-2 for a WARMER TEMPERATURE.  
• 3-4 for a COLDER TEMPERATURE.  
Thermostat set to z: position: the appliance and lighting  
switch off.  
Note:  
Ambient temperature, the frequency with which the doors  
are opened and closed and the position of the appliance can  
affect the temperature inside the two compartments. Adjust  
the thermostat accordingly.  
How to store food in the refrigerator  
compartment  
1. Store the food as shown in the adjacent illustration.  
A
B
C
D
E
F
Cooked food  
Fish and meat  
Fruit and vegetables  
Bottles  
Eggs  
Butter, cheese and other dairy products  
Notes:  
Make sure the air circulates freely between the shelves  
and the back wall of the refrigerator.  
Do not store food against the back wall of the  
compartment.  
Store liquids in sealed containers.  
Vegetables with a high water content (e.g. lettuce) may  
cause condensation to form in the bottom drawers and/  
or on the middle shelves; this does not affect the correct  
operation of the appliance. Nevertheless, it is advisable to  
wrap vegetables before storing.

HOW TO USE THE LOW TEMPERATURE  
COMPARTMENT  
If installed, the  
star low temperature  
compartment may be used to store frozen products for  
the time indicated on the packaging.  
When purchasing deep-frozen foods, check the  
following:  
That the packaging is intact, since the food may have  
deteriorated. If the package bulges or is marked by damp  
patches, the product has not been correctly stored and  
may have partially thawed.  
Purchase deep-frozen foods last and use insulated bags for  
transportation.  
Place items in the low temperature compartment as soon  
as you get home.  
Consume partially thawed food within 24 hrs.  
Avoid temperature variations as much as possible. Observe  
the “best before” date on the packaging.  
Observe the instructions for preserving deepfrozen foods  
written on the packaging.  
How to make ice-cubes  
Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full of water and place it in the bottom  
of the low temperature compartment.  
If the ice-tray sticks to the bottom, do not use pointed  
or sharp instruments to detach it.  
HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE LOW  
TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT  
To maximise performance, defrost the low  
temperature compartment at least twice a year, or  
when the layer of ice on the walls reaches 3 mm  
thickness.  
Defrost the compartment when the contents are low.  
1. Open the door and take out all food items, wrapping  
them in newspaper and placing them together in a cool  
place or in an insulated bag.  
2. Unplug the appliance from the mains.  
3. Leave the door open to allow the frost/ice on the  
compartment walls to melt.  
4. Remove the defrost water with a sponge.  
5. Clean with a sponge soaked in a solution of lukewarm  
water and neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive  
substances.  
6. Rinse and dry thoroughly.  
Note: to avoid causing irreparable damage, do not  
use pointed or sharp metal instruments to scrape  
off ice and do not artificially heat the low  
temperature compartment.

HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR  
COMPARTMENT  
Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly.  
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is fully  
automatic.  
The formation of water droplets on the rear internal wall of  
the refrigerator compartment indicates that the automatic  
defrosting is underway. Defrost water is channelled to a  
runoff and collected in a container, where it evaporates.  
Clean the run-off channel regularly, using the supplied  
instrument, in order to guarantee a continuous outflow of  
defrost water.  
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the mains.  
Use a sponge soaked in lukewarm water and/or neutral  
detergent.  
Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive  
materials.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Clean the air vents regularly with a vacuum cleaner or a  
brush.  
Clean the exterior with a soft cloth.  
Prolonged disuse  
1. Empty the refrigerator and low temperature  
compartments.  
2. Unplug the appliance from the mains.  
3. Defrost the low temperature compartment, clean and  
dry both compartments.  
4. Leave the doors open to prevent the formation  
unpleasant odours.  
ENERGY SAVING TIPS  
Do not expose the appliance to heat sources,  
direct sunlight, etc., since this will increase  
energy consumption.  
Do not cover the vents or air outlets.  
When thawing food items, place them in the  
refrigerator compartment to make use of the low  
temperature.  
Keep the door open as little as possible.  
Do not put food in the refrigerator when still hot.  
Do not leave the low temperature compartment  
door open.
