fittings do not move during transportation.
When placing the appliance ensure that it stands level, to
prevent vibration, excessive noise and to ensure the
doors shut correctly.
Wash the inside of the appliance using lukewarm water and
mild detergent; using a soft cloth.
Further cleaning advice is given on page 19.
Positioning
The appliance should be located in a well ventilated, dry
room.To ensure correct operation the appliance should:
Not be exposed to direct sunlight.
Not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other
sources of heat.
Only be installed in a location where the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate classification for
which the appliance is designed.
Climate Classification
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate;
which is located on the bottom left hand side of the fridge
compartment, see page 5 .
The table shows the correct operating ambient temperature
for each climate class.
Level the appliance by turning the 2 adjustable feet at the
front of the Fridge Freezer.
When placing the refrigerator keep minimal
distances recommended in figure.
A: placing it under a wall-cupboard
B: placing it freely
Class of climate
Ambient temperature
+10…+32°C
SN
N
+16…+32°C
ST
+18…+38°C
If the temperature rises above or falls below the stated
ambient temperature for the climate class, the operation of
the appliance may be affected.
Ventilation
You should ensure that air can circulate freely around the
back and top of the cabinet. In the Instruction manual bag
there are two spacers which must be fitted to the top rear
corners. This will ensure a gap is maintained between the
Fridge Freezer and the wall.
Loosen the screws and insert the spacer under the screw
head, then re-tighten the screws.

Using the refrigerator
To maintain the selected cooling temperature within
the summer holidays) preventing bad smells forming.
the refrigerator air must be allowed to circulate.
Ensure the air circulation gaps behind the shelves are not
covered.
1.To turn on the holiday function operate as per changing
the selected temperature.The temperature indicator can

key E to confirm.
Now the refrigerator is in the "holiday function" in the
energy saving mode.
Always allow hot foods to cool to room
temperature before placing into the
refrigerator. This will avoid a build up of frost.
Foods can transfer or take in odours from
other foods. So it is essential to put foods in
closed dishes or wrap them in cellophane,
aluminium foil, grease-proof paper or cling film
before placing them into the refrigerator.This way
foods will keep their moisture e.g. vegetables will
not dry out after some days.
Attention!
The fridge compartment must be empty with
holiday function on.
Shopping Function

Air Filter
Your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter behind a flap
in the rear wall of the air distribution box.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted odours in the
fridge compartment enhancing the fridge storage quality.
Storage time and
temperature of foods
The food storage time chart in this manual gives
guidelines about food storage times.
It is not possible to be precise, as the food storage time
will depend on the foods freshness and how the food has
been handled through the food chain.
If you do not want to place pre-frozen foods purchased
from the supermarket into the freezer, they can be
stored for about 1 day (until defrosted) in the
refrigerator.

Using the freezer
Use of the freezer compartment
High temperature alarm
The freezer has the symbol
which means that it is
suitable for freezing fresh food and for long term storage of
frozen and deep-frozen food.
An increase in the temperature in the freezer
compartment (for example due to a power failure) is
indicated by:
Storage of frozen food
- flashing temperature;
- freezer compartment flashing

preservation of frozen foods.
During the alarm phase, the buzzer can be switched off
by pressing key E.
Door open audible alarm
Attention!
Following first start up, the temperature displayed
can not correspond to the set temperature. During this
time it is possible that the temperature displayed is different
than the set temperature.
An audible alarm will sound when the door is left open
for around 5 minutes.
The door open alarm conditions are indicated by:
- flashing symbol of the relative compartment
- sounding of buzzer.
Press the key (E) to stop the acoustic alarm.
When the door is closed:
- the acoustic alarm will stop.
Attention!
Difference between the temperature displayed and
temperature set is normal. Especially when:
- a new setting has recently been selected
- the door has been left open for a long time
- warm food has been placed in the compartment
Difference of up to 5°C inside the compartment are quite
normal.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for long term
storage of commercially frozen and deep-frozen food,
and for freezing fresh food.
During normal functioning the indicator shows the warmest
temperature inside the compartment.
The maximum quantity of foods to freeze in 24 hours is
shown on the rating plate
To freeze the amount of food indicated on the rating
plate, place the food directly in touch with the cooling
surface (remove the drawer or basket). In case the food
is frozen inside the drawers or baskets, the maximum
quantity is slightly reduced.
Important
In the event of accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure, if the power has
been off for longer than the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart under "rising time",
the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).
Place the food to be frozen in the

compartment, as
To freeze fresh foods, you will need to activate the quick
freeze function. Press key D (several times if necessary)
until the corresponding icon appears
You must
confirm the choice by pressing key E within few seconds.
You will hear the buzzer and the display will show the
relevant icon.
After a pre-cooling period of 24 hours, place the foods
in the freezer.
16
The freezing process takes 24 hours. During this period do
not put other foods in the freezer.
This function stops automatically after 52 hours.
It is possible to de-activate the function at any time by
pressing key D until the corresponding icon flashes and then
pressing key E.
Storing in the freezer
Once the freezing process has been completed all
compartments can be used for storage but if you require to
freeze further quantities of food move the recently frozen
foods to the upper compartments.
If you are storing large quantities of food you can remove
the top baskets from the freezer and store foods directly on
the shelves. Do not remove the bottom freezing
compartment.
For supermarket pre-frozen foods be aware of the
use by date on the packaging at all times and use the
foods prior to that date.
It is not safe to re-freeze foods that were previously
frozen and have defrosted; you are advised to use the
foods as soon as possible or to cook the foods and then re-
freeze.
How to make ice cubes
To make ice cubes fill the ice cube tray with fresh or filtered
water and place the tray into the frozen food compartment.
Set the thermostat control to maximum to reduce the
freezing time. Re-set the thermostat control to normal
running. To release the ice cubes hold the tray under
running water then twist the tray.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Changing the Carbon Filter
You must disconnect the appliance from the

cleaning or maintenance work.
To maintain the best performance the carbon filter
should be changed every year.
New carbon filters can be purchased from your local
dealer.
1. Pull the flap outwards. (1)
Defrosting
Defrosting is automatic in this appliance.
2. Remove the filter from the plastic bag.
3. Insert the filter in the slot found in the back of the flap
cover (2).
Regular cleaning
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before
you carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
4. Close the flap cover.

Note: the carbon filter is a consumable accessory and as
such is not covered by the guarantee.
Do not use detergents, abrasive or strongly
odorous cleaners, waxy polishing agents,
disinfectants or alcoholic products for cleaning the
equipment.
During operation, always keep the air
ventilation flap closed.
The filter should be handled carefully so
fragments do not loosen from the surface.
Pull out the wall plug of the equipment from the outlet.
Internal cleaning
Clean the internal parts of the equipment and the
accessories with warm water and Bicarbonate of Soda (5 ml

efficiency of the fridge freezer. It is recommended to clean
both on a six monthly basis.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains
supply.
