consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob towards  
lower values (defrosting will occur automatically).  
Accessories  
GB  
SHELVES*: with or without grill.  
Static  
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.  
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).  
Start-up and use  
Starting the appliance  
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation  
instructions (see Installation).  
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:  
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments  
and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.  
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.  
= warmest  
= coldest  
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  
• Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the  
temperature (see Description).  
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not  
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  
humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.  
Chiller system  
The appliance comes with one of the chiller systems described  
below: take note of your system in order to determine the most  
efficient food storage method.  
TEMPERATURE*Indicator light: to identify the coldest area in  
the refrigerator.  
PURE WIND *  
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see  
diagram).  
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the  
top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).  
B
B
A
B
A
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the  
temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR  
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.  
Pure Wind maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of  
the evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature  
inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has  
been opened. 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).  
The Pure Wind Plus products are also equipped with a filter  
which, thanks to the inclusion of silver ions, makes it possible  
to reduce bacteria by 70% and to eliminate odours inside the  
refrigerator unit, thereby guaranteeing improved food storage.  
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.  
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,

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.  
GB  
MAX  
WATER LEVEL  
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.  
Using the freezer to its full potential  
• 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.  
Maintenance and care  
Switching the appliance off  
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect  
the appliance from the electricity supply.  
• 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)  
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer  
compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest  
bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an  
adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the  
evaporator plates.  
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on  
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.  
Cleaning the appliance  
• We recommend you clean your fridge with our Professional  
Fridge cleaner.To order please call us on 08448 225 225 or  
• 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.  
! 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.  
! 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.  
Ice3 ice tray*  
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).  
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.  
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.  
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended  
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.  
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.  
Defrosting the appliance  
! Follow the instructions below.  
Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any devices  
or tools other than the scraper provided, you may damage the  
refrigeration circuit.  
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment  
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 evaporate. It is necessary to clean the  
discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily.

Respecting and conserving the  
GB  
environment  
• 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).  
Troubleshooting  
If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance  
(see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.  
The internal light does not illuminate.  
• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or  
not far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the  
house.  
The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool well.  
• The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.  
• The doors are opened too frequently.  
• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct  
position.  
• The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.  
• The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the  
appliance is lower than 14°C.  
The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.  
• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct  
position.  
• The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the  
refrigerator.  
The AIR fan does not rotate  
• The refrigerator door is open.  
• The AIR system is only activated automatically when it  
becomes necessary to restore perfect operational conditions  
inside the refrigerator compartment.  
The motor runs continuously.  
• The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.  
• The outside ambient temperature is very high.  
• The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm (see  
Maintenance).  
The appliance makes a lot of noise.  
• The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see  
Installation).  
• The appliance has been installed between cabinets that  
vibrate and make noise.  
• The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the  
compressor is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.  
Some of the external parts of the refrigerator become hot.  
• These raised temperatures are necessary in order to  
avoid the formation of condensation on certain parts of the  
product.  
The back wall of the refrigerator unit is covered in frost or
