[. . . ] The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. POWER Indicator light REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob SUPER COOL Indicator light SUPER FREEZE Indicator light FREEZER OPERATION Knob When it is pressed, the SUPER COOL indicator light illuminates (see Start-up and use). SUPER COOL Yellow indicator light (rapid cooling) illuminates when the SUPER COOL button is pressed. POWER Indicator light illuminates when the appliance is connected to the electricity network. [. . . ] No Frost The No Frost system, thanks to the presence of a number of aeration cells, enables the constant circulation of air inside the compartment, while the internal temperature of the refrigerator is kept even using the same compartment ventilation If the word OK does not appear 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. 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 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. Using the refrigerator to its full potential For example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge the internal temperature will rise slightly. The 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, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips). 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 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. 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 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.

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. [. . . ] Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance). 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.
