1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light ( see diagram).
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is
too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher
position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the
temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or
if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal
for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before
adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher
setting.
FRESH BOX
*
This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese fresh. When
positioned in the “lower” part of the fridge compartment, it is ideal
for meat and fish; when moved to the “top” part of the fridge, it is
perfect for cheese.
It can be taken out of the fridge when it is not
needed.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature
( see Description).
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact
with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be
stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where
the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate
the SUPER FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food
in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER
FREEZE function again; it will be deactivated automatically after
24 hours.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are
corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could
break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated
on the plate containing the technical properties located on the
bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example:
Kg/24h: 4).
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment,
it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or
containers.
!
Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door.
This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring
that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
Ice 3 ice tray
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers
ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact
with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore,
the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up
the hole after filling with water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up. Check that the tray is ompletely
empty and fill it with water through the opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL).
Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this
happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould
fills with water ( see diagram).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back,
placing the top part in the corresponding housing and allowing it
to drop in again.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours)
knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that
the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening.

Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply:
1. set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
2. pull the plug out of the socket
! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound.
This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal
operation, it is sufficient to set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
the desired value. To disconnect the appliance, follow point 1 and 2.
Cleaning the appliance
• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may
be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm
water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use
solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and
soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed
by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium
power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be
pulled out before cleaning the appliance.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are
odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to
prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or
sealed properly.
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of
time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
