Warning: Before installing and using your appliance, please carefully read this Guide to Installation and Use, which will allow you to quickly familiarise yourself with its operation. 35 Safety instructions EN This appliance is intended for domestic use only. It has been designed for preserving and freezing food. The following instructions are for your own safety and should be observed without fail. We can neither be held responsible, nor uphold the guarantee in case of failure to observe these recommendations, which may lead to material damage or physical injury. Your appliance must be installed, fixed if necessary and used in compliance with the instructions in this operating and installation instructions manual in order to avoid any damage and/or danger due to any lack of stability or faulty installation. If the appliance has been delivered to your home in a horizontal position, stand it upright and then wait 2 hours before plugging it in. A small amount of oil may have flowed into the refrigeration circuit, and you must allow time for this to flow back towards the motor before connecting the appliance. Failure to do so may damage the appliance. If you appliance is fitted with castors, please remember that they are only designed to assist in small movements. Do not use them for longer journeys. Carry out an initial cleaning operation (see the section on "Installing your appliance") before connecting your appliance to the electrical supply. Disconnect your appliance prior to performing any maintenance operation. Grasp the plug directly, instead of pulling on the power cable. Do not place bottles or jars containing liquids in the freezer unless they are only two-thirds full: freezing causes liquids to expand, which can cause the container to explode. Do not use any other method than those we recommend in this manual for speeding up defrosting. Do not use electrical equipment inside compartments designed for preserving frozen food unless the manufacturer recommends otherwise. Do not let children play with the appliance and keep your pets well away from it. Worn out appliances must be rendered unusable. Unplug and cut the electric cable flush with the appliance. Render the door catch unusable or, better still, remove the door, so as to ensure that no child or animal risks being shut inside whilst playing. If a problem arises that you are unable to resolve using the advice given (see the "Noise, inconveniences, minor breakdowns" section), please contact an official after-sales service or a qualified professional. Your appliance's refrigeration circuit is filled with isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural, non-polluting gas that is, however, inflammable. Ensure that none of the components in your appliance's refrigeration circuit have been damaged during transport or installation. If you detect any damage, keep your appliance away from flames or any type of source of heat or combustion and ventilate it location. 36 Respecting the environment and saving energy To reduce your appliance's electrical consuption: - Install it in a suitable place (see "Installation of your appliance" section). EN - Leave the door open as little as possible. Do not place food that is still hot in your refrigerator or freezer, particularly in the case of soups or dishes that release a lot of steam. - Ensure that you appliance operates optimally by not allowing too much frost to build up in the freezer (de-frost it when the frost is more than 5-6 mm thick) and clean its condenser periodically (See the "Ongoing maintenance of your appliance" section). - Periodically check the door seals and make sure that the doors close firmly. If they do not, lease contact our After-sales service. In compliance with the latest legislation concerning environmental protection, your appliance does not contain any CFCs. Instead it uses a gas called R600a. The exact type of refrigerant used in your appliance is also clearly indicated on the identification plate inside your appliance's refrigerator section, low down on the left-hand wall. R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not harm the ozone layer and whose contribution to the greenhouse effect is virtually zero. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION This appliance's packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the environment by dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose. Your appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this label to indicate the used appliances that should not be mixed with other waste. This way, the appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will be done under the best possible conditions, in compliance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collection points closest to your home. We thank you doing your part to protect the environment. BIOCARE - anti-bacterial walls This is a specific coating on the lining of your refrigerator consisting of silver ions, which prevent bacteria from developing. The anti-bacterial coating does not require any particular treatment and remains active throughout your appliance's operating life. However, you must clean your appliance regularly. See the section on "Cleaning your appliance". 37 Description of your appliance Lighting Ventilation system* EN Butter rack with glass shutter Anti-bacterial walls Door rack Removable shelves Maxi-Fresh* Bottle rack Vegetable drawer or containers* Mini rack Ice trays Freezer drawers Plinth * depending on the model This guide to installing and using your fridge-freezer is applicable to several models. There may be slight differences between your appliance's details and features and those descibed here. Condenser Water collection tank Motor 38 NO FROST: its significance and operation This appliance has been designed and manufactured to avoid frost accumulating inside it. A system automatically melts away any frost and the water produced flows through a small pipe into the container provided, where it evaporates away. You do not need to de-ice the appliance yourself.

This climate class is clearly indicated on the identification plate situated on the inside of your appliance, low down on the left wall. Outside of this temperature range, the performance of your appliance may be reduced. Climate Class Ambient temperature SN +10 °C to +32 °C SN/ST +10 °C to +38 °C N +16 °C to +32 °C T +18 °C to +43 °C ST +18 °C to +38 °C - Leave a minimum distance between your refrigerator and your other units of 3 to 5cm at the sides and 10cm at the top, to maximise air circulation around the appliance. - Position the appliance at a suitable distance from the wall using the spacers provided in the accessories packet. The spacers should be mounted on the back of the appliance (see Drawing). Once you have installed your appliance, adjust its feet so that it is tilting backwards slightly: this helps the door to close correctly. Before placing any food in your appliance, clean it inside and out with a bicarbonate of soda solution (1 dessertspoon of bicarbonate to 4 litres of water). Do not use alcohol, scouring powder or detergents, which could damage the surfaces. See the section on "Cleaning your Appliance". 43 Electrical connection For your own safety, you must comply with the instructions given below. EN The electrical installation must comply with Standard NF C *15-100, in particular concerning the Earth. Three-core flex 3x2.5 mm², 230V single-phase connected to: - A 20A single-phase 230V-50Hz supply - An ELCB and an individual fuse (10 or 16A depending on the model) We cannot be held responsible for any incident caused by faulty electrical installation. Recommendations for the electrical installation of your appliance: - Do not use extension leads, adaptors, or socket strips. - Always make sure your circuit is earthed. - The socket must always remain accessible, yet be out of the reach of children. If you have any doubts, contact your installer. Your appliance is compliant with European Directives CEE/73/23 (low voltage directive), CEE/89/336 (electromagnetic compatibility) and CEE/96/57 (energy efficiency) as well as their modifications. If the appliance has been delivered to your home in a horizontal position, stand it upright and then wait 2 hours before plugging it in. A small amount of oil may have flowed into the refrigeration circuit, and you must allow time for this to flow back towards the motor before connecting the appliance. Failure to do so may damage the appliance. Carry out an initial cleaning operation (see the section on "Installing your appliance") before connecting your appliance to the electrical supply. Disconnect your appliance prior to performing any maintenance operation.

OTHER INFORMATION Setting the time · To alter the time, hold the knob down for a few seconds Setting the date · To set the date, hold the knob down for a few seconds Ambient temperature ATTENTION Your refrigerator's internal temperature is strictly dependent on the ambient temperature, how frequently the appliance's doors are opened and the amount and the temperature of the food you have placed in the refrigerator. You must therefore regularly check the temperature indicator on your refrigerator and adjust the temperature setting if necessary. If the ambient temperature is very low, we recommend that you leave the Quick Freeze function on. The temperatures that appear on the screen correspond to the requested temperatures and not the actual temperatures. Even when the screen is off, there is still mains power to your appliance. 49 Mixed or regulated cold (depending on the model) This guide to installing and using your fridge-freezer is applicable to several models. Your appliance is equipped with one or other of these functions. You can check very quickly by comparing your refrigerator to the illustrations on this page. Your appliance is equipped with a cold air ventilation system: - Mixed cold (A): the fan mixes the air in the refrigerator section, providing greater temperature homogeneity and avoiding condensation forming on the glass shelves. - Regulated cold (B): a distribution column directs the air to every level, providing a very homogeneous temperature and avoiding any condensation forming on the shelves. Apart from these everyday advantages, we recommend that you use the fan: - When the climatic conditions are extreme (e.g. a heat wave) - If you have just placed a large amount of food in your appliance's refrigerator section. To start the fan: - Press the ON button (Drawing C) - Appliance with electronics: this function is initiated by electronic system (See the symbols table in the section "Switching on and adjusting the appliance"). The fan does not operate continuously. When it starts up depends on the refrigerator's internal temperature. It is therefore quite normal for the fan not to operate sometimes when the Start button has been correctly pressed. 4 3 5 EN A 4 3 5 B C A. B. C. 3. 4. 5. Model with mixed cold Model with regulated cold Detail of the Start/Stop button Start/Stop button Air suction Air distribution 50 Preparing food for the refrigerator Before placing food in your appliance: EN Carefully wrap fresh foods: they will then keep their flavour, colour, humidity content and freshness. You also avoid the taste of some foods contaminating the taste of others. Only vegetables, fruit and salad vegetables can be stored in the vegetable compartment without being packed. Let hot dishes and drinks cool down outside the appliance. Remove the cardboard packs from around yoghurt pots. Check the consume-by dates on the products you have bought. You should not exceed these. Arranging food in your refrigerator The temperature inside your refrigerator is not uniform. Some areas are colder than others and you must store your food in the appropriate areas according to their type to ensure that they can be kept safely. Cream dessert, cheese, yoghurts, crème fraîche, sauces Eggs, butter Bottles, milk Meat, poultry, game and fresh fish, cooked meats Fresh vegetables, fruit Frozen and deep-frozen food,ice 51 Arranging food in your refrigerator EN Leave a space between the food items to allow the air to circulate freely and avoid different products contaminating each other. Do not put packages and food in contact with the wall at the back of the appliance: this is a particularly cold and damp area of the appliance and water droplets and frost condense there as part of your refrigerator's normal operation. "Cold Zone" symbols The coldest area, indicated by the logo opposite, is designed for delicate, sensitive and highly perishable food: meat, poultry, fish, cooked meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads, egg or cream-based dishes and pastries, fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/quiches, fresh produce and raw milk cheese, ready-to-use vegetables sold in plastic bags and, more generally, any fresh product whose consume-by date is linked to its storage at a temperature of +4°C or below. Your refrigerator's modular layout Your refrigerator has been designed to make arranging food in it easy. You can adjust the shelves and the racks to suit your wishes. The Maxi-Fresh area (depending on the model) The MAXI-FRESH compartment is recommended for storing fish and meat. It can be moved to different levels inside your refrigerator if the Regulated Cold system is activated (see the section on Mixed or regulated Cold). Automatic defrosting The refrigerator section of your appliance defrosts fully automatically. The water created by defrosting flows to a collection tank situated over the motor. The heat the motor releases evaporates the contents of this tank. It is quite normal for droplets of water or frost to appear on the wall at the back of your refrigerator. This is a particularly cold and damp area in your appliance and water droplets and frost condense out as part of your appliance's normal operation. This frost is removed regularly during your refrigerator's automatic defrosting phases. 52
