BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE Your new appliance is designed exclusively for domestic use. After unpacking the appliance, make sure it is not damaged and that the door closes properly. Any damage must be reported to the dealer within 24 hours of delivery of the appliance. Installation and the electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified technician, according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local safety regulations.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS INSTALLATION SAFETY • The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons. • Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g. parquet) when moving the appliance. • During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable. • Make sure the appliance is not near a heat source. • To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space on both sides and above the appliance and follow the installation instructions.
IF THE APPLIANCE IS NOT GOING TO BE USED In case of power failures of up to 24 hours Keep the doors of the appliance closed. In this way the stored food will stay cold as long as possible. For further information see chapter “Using the appliance”, section “Black-out alarm”. If - the appliance is not going to be used Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

STORING, FREEZING AND THAWING FOOD INTRODUCTION Wrap food so that no water, moisture or condensate can enter; this will prevent odours or aromas going from one part to another in the refrigerator, ensuring better preservation of frozen foods. Use plastic containers with hermetic lids, aluminium trays, aluminium foil, plastic film and waterproof plastic wraps. NOTE: Never place hot food in the freezer. Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature for 30 minutes, then wrap and freeze.

“MULTIFLOW” AIR DISTRIBUTION “MULTIFLOW” is a ventilated air distribution system, which ensures a homogeneous temperature inside the refrigerator compartment. Thanks to this system, the different types of food can be stored on any of the shelves of the appliance. Attention should be paid not to obstruct the air distribution vents, thus ensuring free air circulation.
USING THE APPLIANCE FIRST USE Connect the appliance to the water system and power supply (refer to the Installation manual). When connecting the appliance to the power supply, the display will show the temperatures preset by the manufacturer. Note: Reaching the preset temperatures requires a variable amount of time. This time depends on several factors (times the door is open, amount of food stored, ambient temperature). Average time is between 2 to 3 hours.
USING THE APPLIANCE GUIDE TO SELECTING FUNCTIONS Menu This button is used to select the different options shown in the control panel. Each time the button is pressed, a different option is highlighted. OK The OK button is used to confirm the selected function and to deactivate the acoustic signal. Stand-by This function turns off the refrigerator and freezer compartments. To activate the stand-by function, press the button for 3 seconds: all icons will disappear from the display.
USING THE APPLIANCE Water filter This symbol indicates the state of the water filter. When switching on the appliance for first use, or after replacing the filter, the filter icon shows three dashes. In time their number will decrease, depending on the use of the appliance and the natural wear of the filter charge itself. When all the dashes disappear and the icon starts flashing, the filter needs replacing. Important: Only replace the cartridge after all three dashes have disappeared from the filter icon.
USING THE APPLIANCE OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS Party mode This function is activated by pressing the menu button until the party mode symbol appears. With the symbol flashing, press OK to confirm your selection. This function enables to use the freezer compartment to cool drinks. When the function is selected, the icon is animated. 30 minutes after activation (the time needed to cool a standard 0.75 litres bottle without breaking it), the icon will flash and the acoustic signal will come on.
USING THE ICE AND WATER DISPENSER First use When the ice and water dispenser is used for the first time, the first ice cubes and water coming out of the dispenser may have an unpleasant taste and should therefore be discarded. Ice maker The function is activated when the symbol is lit. Press the ice maker button to select the symbol corresponding to the type of ice required (cubes or crushed); the symbol will light up. To dispense ice: 1. Press the ice maker button and select the required type of ice. 2.
USING THE AUTOMATIC ICE-MAKER After switching on the refrigerator, it usually takes overnight for the first ice cubes to form. When selecting crushed ice, the cubes are crushed just before being dispensed, therefore the crushed ice may come out with a slight delay. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed ice to ice cubes, a small amount of crushed ice may come out together with the first cubes.
CHANGING A WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE 1. Locate the water filter cartridge cap below the freezer compartment door. Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille. Note: Since there is water in the cartridge, some spilling may occur. 1 2. Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old cartridge. DO NOT DISCARD THE CAP. 3. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove the protective cover. 4.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Before contacting the After-sales Service... Operation problems are often due to minor causes that can be found and fixed without using any tools.

The motor seems to run too much: • Is the condenser free of dust and fluff? • Are the doors properly closed? • Are the door seals intact? • On hot days or when the room is warm, it is normal for the motor to run longer.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If • • • the automatic ice-maker does not work: Has the freezer had enough time to become cold? With a new appliance this may take overnight.
