standing on the power supply cable.
Do not store glass containers with liquids in the appliance 
since they may burst.
Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking 
them out of the appliance since they may cause cold burns.
Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug it from 
the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.
Do not install the appliance in places exposed to direct 
sunlight or near heat sources in order to avoid increasing 
power consumption.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours 
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The 
fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Install the appliance in a perfectly horizontal position, on a floor 
strong enough to take its weight and in an area suitable for its 
size and use.
Install the appliance in a dry and well-ventilated place. 
The appliance is set for operation at specific ambient 
temperature ranges, according to the climatic class indicated 
on the data plate located at the rear of the product. The 
appliance may not work properly if it is left for a long period 
at a temperature above or below the indicated range.
If the appliance is left empty for short periods, it is 
preferable not to switch it off.
Be careful not to damage the floors when you move the 
appliance (e.g. parquet flooring).

The power cable may only be replaced by an authorized person.
Do not use extension leads or adapters.
Electrical disconnection must be possible either by 
unplugging the appliance or by means of a double-pole 
switch located upline from the socket.

plate corresponds to the domestic supply voltage.
Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs 
(if provided).
Restrict the number of times you open the lid.
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of ice 
on the walls reaches 5-6 mm.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.
Remove the packs of food from the appliance and wrap them 
close together in newspaper and store in a very cool place or 
thermally insulated bag.
Leave the appliance lid open.
Remove the internal defrost water drain plug (depending 
on model).
Remove the external defrost 
water drain plug (depending on 
model) and reposition it as 
shown in the figure.
Place a bowl beneath the 
drainage channel to collect the 
residual water. If available, use 
the divider.
Speed up defrosting by using a 
spatula to detach the ice from the 
appliance walls.
Remove the ice from the bottom 
of the appliance.
In order to avoid permanent damage to the appliance 
interior, do not use pointed or sharp metal 
instruments for removing the ice.
Do not use abrasive products or heat up the interior 
artificially.
Dry the interior of the appliance thoroughly.
On completion of the defrosting, refit the plug.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Remove the ice from the upper edge (see the 
Troubleshooting Guide).
Clean the inside after defrosting, using a sponge dampened 
with warm water and/or mild detergent.
Clean the side motor cooling grille (depending on model).
Remove dust from the condenser on the rear of the 
appliance.
Before carrying out maintenance, unplug the appliance.
Do not use abrasive products, scourers or 
stain-removers (e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) to 
clean the appliance.
To obtain the best results from your appliance, carry 
out cleaning and maintenance at least once a year.
CHANGING THE LID 
LIGHT BULB 
(IF PROVIDED)
Disconnect the appliance from 
the mains power supply.
Remove the diffuser by 
following the sequence of steps 
shown in the figure.
Unscrew the light bulb and 
replace it with an identical bulb of the same wattage and 
voltage.
Refit the diffuser and plug in the appliance.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. The red LED (if provided) remains alight.
Is there a power failure?
Is a defrosting operation in progress?
Is the appliance lid properly closed?
Is the appliance placed near a heat source?
Is the thermostat setting correct?
Are the ventilation grille and condenser clean?
2. The appliance is too noisy.
Is the appliance perfectly horizontal?
Is the appliance in contact with other furniture or objects 
that may cause vibrations?
Has the packaging been removed from under the appliance?
Note: Gurgling noises from the refrigerating circuit after the 
compressor cuts out are perfectly normal.
