Chiller system
GB NO FROST
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains
an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the
original quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking
together and making defrosting a thing of the past. ! ! ! ! ! Do not block
the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact
with the refrigerating back panel.
! ! ! ! ! Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the temperature
quickly, for example, when you place a large number of new
food items inside a fridge and the internal temperature rises
slightly. This function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily
reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never
hot foods ( see Precautions and tips ).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the
level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to
form.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):
- for small quantities which are less than those indicated on the
data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button
(corresponding indicator light illuminates), insert the food and
close the door. The function is disabled automatically after 24
hours or when optimal temperatures have been reached
(indicator light goes out);
- for large quantities which are greater than the maximum load
indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing SUPER
FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light begins to
flash. After 24 hours the indicator light stops flashing and remains
on constantly. Place the food inside the freezer and close the
door. After another 24 hours, the function will be disabled
automatically (indicator light goes out).
• 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.
• 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).
! 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.
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer, it is advisable
not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply:
1. Hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds until
OFF appears on both indicator displays (refrigerator and
freezer).
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, hold the
ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds. To disconnect the
appliance, follow points 1 and 2 above.
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.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out
the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below.
Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the
diagram.
Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range indicated
on the cover (10 W, 15 W or 25 W).

Replacing the l Odour filter
The filter should be replaced after approximately 6-8 months from
when it is activated. This period may vary depending on the type of
food that is stored. For information on where a replacement filter may
be purchased, contact Assistance (see Assistance). To replace the
filter, follow the instructions (see diagrams A and B).
