PLAY ZONE Thanks to the new “Play Zone” bottle  
rack, you can cool several bottles, cans and energy  
drinks quickly to have them constantly at hand.

GB  
Due to the special guides the  
shelves are removable and the  
height is adjustable (see

diagram), allowing easy storage  
of large containers and food.  
Height can be adjusted without  
complete removal of the shelf.  
MULTI-USE bin: to store food (such as cold meats)  
*
for a long time and also prevent odours from lingering  
in the refrigerator.  
If the “Play Zone” is placed on the glass shelf, you can  
store large and medium sized bottles on it simply by  
laying the bottle on the flat rack. This is ideal for storing  
wine bottles. When folded and secured in place on either  
side of the shelf, the rack can be used to store cans (at  
the top), energy drinks (in the centre) and other cans  
and energy drinks can be rested horizontally on the  
remaining part of the shelf. When placing cans (onto the  
Play zone rack), make sure they do not touch the back  
of the refrigerator interior.  
The “Play Zone” can be used just like a normal shelf  
(when placed flat) and moved up or down along the  
fridge walls together with the rest of the shelf. It can be  
washed easily, and is also dishwasher safe. The ideal  
position for the Play zone rack is the central shelf.  
TEMPERATURE Indicator light: to identify the coldest  
area in the refrigerator.  
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light  
(see diagram).

2. If the indicator light is completely black 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.

Start-up and use  
Starting the appliance  
The Aircooler maintains a constant fridge temperature to  
keep food fresher for longer and will quickly restore the  
temperature to the correct level, even if the door is  
opened frequently: the blown air (A) is cooled when it  
comes into contact with the cold wall, whereas the hotter  
air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).  
GB  
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation  
instructions (see Installation).  
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the  
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm  
water and bicarbonate.  
Static  
Models without the Aircooler. have the cooling section in  
the internal back wall of the compartments. The wall will  
be covered in frost or water droplets depending on  
whether the compressor is operating or paused: both  
cases are normal. If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT  
knob has been set on high values with large quantities  
of food and with a high ambient temperature, the  
appliance can operate continuously, resulting in  
excessive frost formation and excessive energy  
consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob  
towards lower values (defrosting will occur  
automatically).  
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the  
internal light illuminates.  
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an  
average value. After a few hours you will be able to  
put food in the refrigerator.  
Setting the temperature  
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment  
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of  
the thermostat knob.  
1 = warmest  
5 = coldest  
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way:  
the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier.  
The food should be stored as follows:  
We recommend, however, a medium position.

The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside  
the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for  
increased space and improved aesthetics. During  
operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or water  
droplets depending on whether the compressor is  
operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is  
functioning normally.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential  
Using the freezer to its full potential  
GB  
• Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 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).  
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the  
compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and  
tips).  
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into  
contact with food that has already been defrosted.  
Fresh food must be stored above the grill in the  
freezer compartment and if possible be in direct  
contact with the walls (side and rear), where the  
temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid  
freezing.  
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than  
raw foods.  
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will  
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause  
condensation to form.  
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and  
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer  
because they could break.  
Food hygiene  
1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external  
packaging made of paper/cardboard or other  
wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt  
inside your refrigerator.  
• 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)  
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items  
and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid  
contact between them, thereby removing both the  
possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as  
the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge.  
! 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.  
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can  
circulate freely between different items.  
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an  
extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not  
be reached in the freezer compartment and food  
preservation will be reduced.  
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not  
to use oxidiser or abrasive products.  
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the  
refrigerator.  
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily  
perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.)  
should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge  
compartment, i.e. just above the salad crisper where  
the temperature indicator is situated.

Maintenance and care  
Switching the appliance off  
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment  
GB  
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to  
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:  
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment  
knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical  
contact.  
The refrigerator has an  
automatic defrosting  
function: water is ducted  
to the back of the  
appliance by a special  
discharge outlet (see  
diagram) where the heat  
produced by the  
compressor causes it to  
Cleaning the appliance  
evaporate. It is necessary  
to clean the discharge  
hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily.  
• 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.  
Defrosting the freezer compartment  
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm  
water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry  
them carefully.  
Remove frost regularly using the special scraper  
provided. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is  
necessary to defrost manually:  
• 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.  
1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the  
position  
.
2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in  
another freezer or in a cool place.  
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours  
3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted  
completely. This can be made easier by placing  
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer  
compartment.  
• 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.  
4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully  
before switching the appliance on again.  
• 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

! The appliance was designed and manufactured in  
compliance with international safety standards. The  
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and  
must be read carefully.  
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It  
GB  
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.  
Disposal  
This appliance complies with the following  
Community Directives:  
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and  
subsequent amendments;  
• Observe local environmental standards when  
disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires  
that old household electrical appliances must not be  
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste  
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately  
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the  
materials they contain and reduce the impact on  
human health and the environment. The crossed out  
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of  
your obligation, that when you dispose of the  
appliance it must be separately collected.  
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic  
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;  
- 2002/96/CE.  
General safety  
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside  
the home and is not intended for commercial or  
industrial use.  
• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food  
products by adults only and according to the  
instructions in this manual.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal  
of their old appliance.  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
appliance exposed to rain and storms.  
Respecting and conserving the  
environment  
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet  
or moist hands and feet.  
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated  
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight  
and do not place it near heat sources.  
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements:  
this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or  
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve  
energy.  
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug  
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.  
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off  
the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical  
supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature  
adjustment knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all  
electrical contact.  
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food:  
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved  
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will  
work continuously.  
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances  
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.  
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may  
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the  
appliance.  
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The  
internal temperature will increase and force the  
compressor to work harder and will consume more  
energy.  
• Do not use devices or tools other than the special  
scraper provided inside the compartments.  
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance).  
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food  
products more difficult and results in increased  
energy consumption.  
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer  
into your mouth.  
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or  
play with the appliance. Under no circumstance  
should they be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang  
from the door.  
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to  
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air  
from escaping (see Maintenance).
