Start-up and use  
Starting the appliance  
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.  
GB  
! Before starting the appliance, follow the  
installation instructions (see Installation).  
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the  
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm  
water and bicarbonate.  
! 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).  
The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of  
water, depending on whether the compressor is in  
operation or whether it is paused.  
SHELVES: with or without grill.

Using the display  
! The SUPER FREEZE function features a double  
mode of operation (see paragraph on operating the  
freezer compartment).  
GB  
Setting the temperature  
If the compartment concerned is switched off, the word  
OFF will appear on the relative indication space on the  
display (REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT setting and  
FREEZER COMPARTMENT setting). If the compartment  
is switched on, then the temperatures set at that time will  
appear. To change them, turn the relative knob directly  
(REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob and FREEZER  
OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob).  
The refrigerator compartment can be set to between  
+2°C and +8°C, while the freezer compartment can  
be set to a temperature of between -18°C and -26°C.  
The temperature in both cases can be increased or  
decreased by 1°C at a time.  
Enabling/disabling the DEMO mode:  
To run a demonstration of the display operation while  
keeping the appliance turned off, just enable the  
DEMO mode.  
Enabling:  
- set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/  
OFF Knob to 0ff;  
- keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed  
for approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer  
and the two words “OFF” and “OFF” flash on the  
display; these words will flash for the entire duration  
the DEMO mode is enabled.  
When the HOLIDAY function is enabled, temperature  
regulations cannot be made, but the appliance  
automatically sets itself to the best setting for the  
situation: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment (if  
enabled) and -18°C for the freezer compartment.  
Disabling:  
- set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/  
OFF Knob to 0ff;  
- keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed  
for approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer  
and the two words “OFF” and “OFF” on the display  
stop flashing.

To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not  
necessary to switch the appliance off. The appliance  
has a function which allows it to maintain the  
temperature of the refrigerator compartment at  
approximately 15°C (which can also be used to  
conserve make-up and beauty products). The freezer  
temperature must be set to the minimum value in order  
to preserve the food.  
Enabling/disabling the functions  
Press the MODE button as many times as necessary  
for the red outline of the function you wish to act on to  
light up: this indicates that the function has been  
selected and is ready to be enabled or disabled. Now  
you can enable or disable the selected function using  
the SELECT button.  
Using the refrigerator to its full potential  
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to  
adjust the temperature (see Description).  
• Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the  
temperature quickly. 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).  
• 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.  
!
If you do not confirm your selection by pressing the  
SELECT button within five seconds of the last action  
performed on the display, the latter shall go back to  
displaying the function previously set and indicate that  
no new modification has been made.  
The SUPER COOL function is linked to the refrigerator  
compartment and when the latter is switched off, no  
action whatsoever will be possible on the former, other  
functions foresee an operation that can create conflicts  
(for example, when the HOLIDAY and SUPER FREEZE  
functions are enabled simultaneously), in this case a  
pre-set priority is taken into consideration in order to  
help you operate the appliance.

! to avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer  
compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the  
ventilation holes with food or containers.  
Using the freezer to its full potential  
GB  
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE  
ON/OFF Knob to adjust the temperature (see  
Description).  
! 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.  
• 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).  
• To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):  
- For small quantities, less than the maximum capacity  
indicated on the data plate (situated on the lower left,  
next to the salad crisper), enable the SUPER FREEZE  
function on the display in the "24 hour" mode and  
insert the food to be frozen. To enable the function,  
press the MODE button as many times as necessary  
for the SUPER FREEZE symbol to start flashing and  
then press the SELECT button to enable the SUPER  
FREEZE function. After 24 hours, or once the optimal  
temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing  
function is automatically disabled.  
- For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the  
maximum load indicated on the data plate situated on  
the lower left, next to the salad crisper), enable the  
SUPER FREEZE function on the display in the "48  
hours" mode: To enable the function, press the MODE  
button as many times as necessary for the SUPER  
FREEZE symbol to start flashing and then press the  
SELECT button for more than three seconds to ensure  
the function is enabled (symbol SUPER FREEZE  
function starts to flash slowly). After 24 hours, the  
function symbol will stop flashing and go back to  
being permanently lit; you can now insert the food to  
be frozen. After another 24 hours, the function will be  
disabled automatically.

ICE PARTY: tensures bottles  
of sparkling wine or  
champagne reach the right  
temperature.  
Place the bottle in the pre-  
frozen ice bucket located  
inside the FREEZER and  
STORAGE compartment and  
ICE trays.  
GB  
The Easy Ice trays are set into the top part of the  
freezer drawers to maximise the space within the  
freezer. The trays are drip-free and sealed to prevent  
food from tainting the ice cubes.  
1. Check that the tray is completely 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).  
select the function on the display.  
Remove the bottle when the alert is given.  
The bucket may be used to serve the bottle, keeping  
it cool after it has been removed from the appliance.  
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.

Maintenance and care  
Switching the appliance off  
Replacing the light bulb  
GB  
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to  
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:  
1. set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/  
OFF Knob on Off  
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator  
compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical  
socket. Follow the instructions below.  
Access the light bulb (A) by unscrewing the fixing  
screw (B) which is located at the back of the  
lampcover, as shown (see diagram). Replace it with a  
similar light bulb, the power of which should not  
exceed 15W.  
2. pull the plug out of the socket  
! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound.  
This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore  
normal operation, it is sufficient to set the FREEZER  
OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF knob on the desired  
value. To disconnect the appliance, follow point 1 and 2.  
A
Cleaning the appliance  
• 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.  
B
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm  
water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry  
them carefully.  
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours  
PURE WIND PLUS  
Filter maintenance  
• 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.  
Unhook the filters from the left side of the cover by  
inserting the tip of a small screwdriver into the gaps  
(see attached pictures).  
Wash the filters regularly (every 12-18 months) under  
running water, using a neutral detergent to remove  
any stubborn build-up. Leave the filters to dry before  
replacing them. If the filters cannot be removed, or if  
they are difficult to remove, please contact the  
Technical Assistance Service.  
Defrosting the appliance  
! Follow the instructions below.  
Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to  
defrost the appliance as these may damage the  
refrigeration circuit beyond repair.  
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.

Precautions and tips  
! 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.  
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food  
storage compartments of the appliance, unless  
they are of the type recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
GB  
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer  
into your mouth.  
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..  
• 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.  
General safety  
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside  
the home and is not intended for commercial or  
industrial use.  
Disposal  
• Observe local environmental standards when  
disposing packaging material for recycling  
purposes.  
This appliance is not intended for use by persons  
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory  
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and  
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision  
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a  
person responsible for their safety.  
• Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct  
disposal of their old appliance.  
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do  
not play with the appliance.  
Respecting and conserving the  
environment  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
appliance exposed to rain and storms.  
• 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.  
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet  
or moist hands and feet.  
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods  
or opening the door too frequently in order to  
conserve energy.  
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could  
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
• 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 damage the refrigerant circuit.  
• 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 OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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).  
• Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical  
equipment - other than the type recommended by the  
manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage  
compartments.

press the SELECT button. Should the door remain open for more than 4  
minutes, the lamp will flash more rapidly.  
Abnormal freezer heating alarm.  
1. To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer (e.g. momentary  
power failure), a buzzer will sound and a message comes up on the  
display “A1” to signal the dangerous heating of the compartment. To  
prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a temperature  
of 0°C, thus allowing you to use up the food within 24 hours or to cook  
them and then refreeze them. You can turn the buzzer off simply by  
pressing the SELECT button.  
To return to normal operation and cancel the message from the display,  
you need to turn the appliance off and on again, turning the appliance
