    Before placing your new appliance into operation please
    read these operating instructions carefully. They contain
    important information for safe use, for installation and for
    care of the appliance.
    Please keep these operating instructions for future
    reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the
    appliance.
    
    
    
    
    	
    	
    1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free
    room.
    2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
    condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
    operate correctly and save energy.
    3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of
    the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5
    cm between the sides and any furniture/side walls.
    4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat
    (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
    5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the
    appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied
    in the installation kit, following the instructions provided.
    
    
    1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
    2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the
    refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front feet.
    
    	
    	
    After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it
    vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to
    the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the
    electrical socket ensure the following:
    • The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with
    the law.
     The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
    appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on
    the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
     The voltage must be in the range between the values
    indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left
    side (e.g. 220-240V).
     The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance.
    If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
    authorised technician to replace it (
    see Assistance). Do
    not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
    Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply
    cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
    The cable must not be bent or compressed.
    The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
    authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
    The manufacturer declines any liability should these
    safety measures not be observed.
    Connection of the water supply
    To carry this out, use the kit provided which contains all the
    necessary elements for connection to the water supply.
    To improve the performance of the Aqua Care, we
    recommend that you fit a tap with a filter on the pipe for
    the connection to the water system: in this way it will be
    possible to manually interrupt the water supply during
    long periods in which Aqua Care is not used.
     The water pressure inside the water system must be
    between 0.8 bar and 8 bar.
     The appliance must only be connected to a water
    supply suitable for drinking.
    Your appliance is supplied with a 13amp fused plug that
    can be plugged into a 13amp socket for immediate use.
    Before using the appliance please read the instructions
    below.
    WARNING:
    THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
    Replacing fuse covers:
    When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13amp ASTA approved
    fuse to BS 1362 should always be used and the fuse
    cover re-fitted.
    If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a
    replacement is obtained.
    Replacement fuse covers:
    If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the
    correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the
    colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug.
    Changing the plug:
    Removing the plug
    If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug
    and you should wish to remove it to add a longer cable
    or to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units
    etc. please ensure that either:
    - The plug is replaced by a fused 13amp re-
    wireable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
    or
    - The mains cable is wired directly into a 13amp
    cable outlet, controlled by a switch (in compliance
    with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving
    the appliance.
    Disposing of the plug
    Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit
    your socket. The cable should be cut as close as
    possible to the moulded plug.
    Remove the fuse.

    OPERATION knob to a higher (colder) position and
    wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has
    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.

    (The appliance comes with a motor protection control
    system which makes the compressor start approximately
    8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also
    starts each time the power supply is cut off whether
    voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
    1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
    internal light illuminates ( the FREEZER OPERATION
    knob must not be on the

    It is recognisable by
    aeration cells located on
    the back walls of the
    compartments.
    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.

     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.
    		./
    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.
    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.
    3.  Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can
    circulate freely between different items.
    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.

     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.
     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
    compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the
    ventilation holes with food or containers.

    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.

     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.

    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.
    This appliance complies with the following
    Community Directives:
    - 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and
    subsequent amendments;
    -89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic
    Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
    - 2002/96/CE.
    (
    
    
    
    /
     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.
     The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
    covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
    appliance exposed to rain and storms.
     Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or
    moist hands and feet.
     Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could
    cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
     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.
     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 use devices or tools other than the special
    scraper provided inside the compartments.
     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.
     Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It
    can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
    
     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.
    Consumers should contact their local authority or
    retailer for information concerning the correct disposal
    of their old appliance.

     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.
     Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
    opening the door too frequently in order to conserve
    energy.
     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.
     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.
     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.
     Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
    ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
    from escaping (
    see Maintenance).
