mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause burns.

7. Do not carry out any cleaning or maintenance operations

without first having disconnected your appliance from the mains

power supply (by unplugging it or turning off the cut-out switch

in your home); turning the thermostat knob to " " is not

enough to eliminate all electric contacts.

8. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal,

remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent chil-

dren who might play in or around the appliance from being

locked inside.

9. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of malfunc-

tion, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem? to deter-

mine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem. do not try

to repair the problem by trying to access the internal compo-

nents of the appliance.

10. If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance must

necessarily be replaced by our service centre because special

tools are required for replacement.

11. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for

food storage, if these are not those recommended by the

manufacturer.

12. At the end of the functional life of your appliance –

containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and perhaps

gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit – the latter

should made safe before being sent to the dump.

For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local

Organisation in charge of waste disposal.

ATTENTION

Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions

which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of

your appliance.

Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards

(EN60) ans has been awarded the European approval mark

(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.

It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimi-

nation of readio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).

1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in

an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to leave

it exposed to rain or storms.

2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate

and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use con-

tained in this manual.

3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or

with wet hands or feet.

4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension cords

or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed be-

tween cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or danger-

ously pinched or compressed.

5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the plug

from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.

6. Never touch the cooling components within the appliance,

especially with wet hands because this could result in injury.

Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your

Safety - a good habit to get into.

Installation

Proper installation of the appliance is essential to en-

sure the best and most efficient performance of your

appliance.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and, there-

fore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than

perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the

appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with

an opening (window or French window) that provide the

appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important

that the room not be too humid.

During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the

grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.

For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave:

- a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and any

cabinets above it;

- a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the appliance

and any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly

exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.

Levelling

The floor should be perfectly level; if not, you can adjust the

feet at the front of the appliance.

Earthing

Before making the electrical connection, check that the volt-

age shown on the data plate, that you will find on the bot-

tom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper, cor-

responds to that of your home and that the socket is earthed

in compliance with all current electrical regulations. If the

system is not earthed, the manufacturer declines all liability

for consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or

multiple sockets.

Position the appliance in such a way that you can access

the socket where it is plugged in.

Check the power load

The electrical socket must support the maximum power load

of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom

left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper).

Before plugging the appliance to the mains

Stand the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before

plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper per-

formance.

Electrical connection

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug that

can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before

using the appliance please read the instructions below.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED

OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Replacing the fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse

to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-

fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used

until a replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct

colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that

is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements

can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and

you should wish to remove it to add a cable extension or to

re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please

ensure that either:

- the plug is replaced by a fused 13 amp re-wireable plug

bearing the BSI mark of approval

or:

- the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet,

controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which

is accessible without moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make

the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted

into a socket. Instructions for connecting cable to an

alternative plug:

Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

Green & Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not

correspond with the coloured markings identifying the

terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or

or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.

Connect Brown wire to terminal marked “L” or coloured

Red.

Connect Blue wire to terminal marked “N” or coloured Black.

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13

amp fuse. A 15 amp plug must be protected by a 15 amp

fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.

If you are in any doubt about the electrical supply to your

machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

How to Start the Appliance

NOTICE

After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the

upright position and wait approximately 3 hours be-

fore connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee

that it operates properly.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean

the interior well with warm water and baking soda.

Motor protection delay

This model is provided with a motor protection control

system. Therefore, if the compressor does not start

immediately upon installation, do not worry as it will

start automatically after approximately 8 minutes.

This is also what will happen every time the power

supply is interrupted, both due to a power failure or

should you switch it off yourself (to clean or defrost

your freezer, for example).

After having plugged the appliance in, make sure that pilot

lamp "D" is lit. If not, make sure that the freezer knob "F" is not

on position "

Refrigerator compartment

Set knob "B" onto a medium position and you can place

food in the fridge after only a few hours.

Freezer compartment

Set knob "F" to a medium position and press the rapid

freezing button "G" (indicator light "E" will come on and a

temperature of -35°C will appear on the freezer display).

When the freezer has reached the optimum temperature,

yellow indicator light "E" will come off. Now you can place

frozen food in the freezer.

How to use the refrigerator compartment...

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature in-

side the appliance

1 = less cold

5 = colder

It is recommended that a medium setting be used.

The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is equipped with

"Aircooler" which makes it possible to achieve optimal food

storage while simplifying the use of the refrigerator thanks to

the following features:

- Fast temperature reset: after the doors heve been opened,

the internal temperatures return to optimal values faster,

improving food storage.

- More uniform temperature distribution: this makes it

possible to place any type of food on any shelf.

- Higher humidity level: this allows you to store food longer.

A - Blown air which is cooled when it comes into contact

with the refrigeration panel

B - Hotter air is drawn in

When the fridge compartment is filled up after a heavy

shopping spree, use the Quick Cool function (press button

"A" to enable it) in order to reach optimum operating

conditions quickly. Once the necessary time has elapsed, the

function is disabled automatically.

Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of

foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will

deteriorate quite quickly.

Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer

than fresh food.

The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is fitted with

practical removable shelves (Fig. 1) whose height can be

adjusted to allow storage of large containers. This shelves

can also be tilted for storage of opened bottles.

Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the

temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the

compressor to work harder and use more energy.

Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will

increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in

the refrigerator.

Fig. 1

To use the col cuts/cheese box, unhook it and remove it

from the shelf. To optimise space according to your needs,

the same can be moved laterally (Fig. 2).

The side bottle rack can be used either for storing bottles

(Fig. 3) as well as several cans (2-4) placed horizontally. If

not in use, the bottle/can rack can be tipped up and away to

make more room inside the refrigerator.

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

Using the "Fresh box" compartment for meat

and fish

This compartment was designed to allow for longer

preservation times for fresh meat and fish (for as long as a

week).

This is possible as the coldest temperature of the entire fridge

is available inside this specific compartment.

The clear protective door to open the compartment avoids

any oxidation or blackening to occur, which are typical of

meat and fish when exposed to air.

Moreover, the "Fresh box" compartment can also be used

to cool dishes that are normally eaten "cold", such as melon

and Parma ham, figs and ham, mozzarella and tomatoes.

For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-

sult a specialized manual.

Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-

frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24

hours) or to freeze it once again.

When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not

touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place

the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment

"Q" where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is

ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper con-

servation depends on the speed of freezing.

The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is

indicated on the data plate situated inside the refrigerator

compartment.

The first time, or after the freezer has been inactive, you can

only freeze food after having let the appliance function at

maximum.

When the appliance is already on, freezing can be done in

two ways:

1. for small quantities, less than the maximum capacity

indicated on the data plate, just press the freezing button

“G” (yellow lamp “E” lit) and insert the food to be frozen.

After 24 hours, or once the optimum temperatures have

been reached, the rapid freezing function will switch itself

off automatically (yellow lamp “E” off).

How to use the freezer compartment...

2. For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the

maximum load indicated on the data plate), keep the freezing

button “G” pressed down until the yellow lamp starts flashing

quickly. After 24 hours, the yellow lamp will stop flashing

(permanently lit); you can now insert the food to be frozen.

After 24 hours, the button will switch itself off automatically

(yellow lamp off).

During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the

freezer.

In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec-

ommended that you divide food into small portions so that

they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be

clearly marked with the content and the date they were

frozen.

In order to obtain a larger amount of space in the freezer

compartment, you can remove the central drawer, and place

the food directly onto the evaporator plate. Make sure that,

after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly.

Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure

or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tem-

perature within the compartment. If the door is not opened,

frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state

for approximately 9-14 hours.

Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily

burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.

Ice trays

This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent.

The fact that they are situated on the inner door of the

freezer compartment ensures greater ergonomics and

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).

To remove the ice trays from

their housings, push the tray

upwards and then pull it out

(fig. 4). To put the tray back

in place, insert the top part

into the special housing and,

once in a vertical position,

just let it drop into place.

Instructions for use (Fig. 2)

Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level

indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it:

inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the

formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes.

If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have

to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and re-fill

it with water.

Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the

hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. Thanks to the connected

compartments, the water fills up the special shapes, after

which you can cover the hole up with the special cap and

place the ice tray in the inner door of the freezer

compartment.

Fig. 4

WATER LEVEL

WATER LEVEL

Fig. 5

Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the

tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away

from their housing and come out of the same hole used to

fill the tray with water. To make it easier for the ice cubes to

come out, wet the outside of the tray.

WARNING: every time you fill up the ice tray with water ,

make sure that the same is completely empty and that there

are no traces of ice left inside it.

The minimum time required for ice to form well is

approximately 8 hours.

Tips on Saving Energy

- Install it well

And therefore far from heat sources, from direct sunlight, in

a well aired place and according to the distances indicated

in the section on "Installation/Aeration".

- Just the right cold

Too cold a compartment increases energy consumption.

- Do not Overfill

To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely

within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper

air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously.

- Close the Doors

Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time

you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tem-

perature to the proper level again, the motor must work for

a long time, consuming energy.

- Keep an Eye on the Seals

Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to

the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.

- No Hot Foods

A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises

the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food

cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the re-

frigerator.

- Defrost the Freezer

Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer

and immediately defrost it if the layer of frost is too thick.

(see the section entitled, “Keeping your Appliance in Shape”).

Alarm buzzers and visual warnings

Door open alarm

If the refrigerator door is left open for more than two

minutes, a buzzer will sound. The buzzer will stop sounding

when you shut the door.

Abnormal freezer heating alarm

1. To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer,

a buzzer will sound and the two yellow indicator lights

"C" and "E" will start flashing to indicate a dangerous

state of overheating. 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 hour or to

refreeze it after cooking it. Using the special alarm

silencing procedure (open and shut the refrigerator door),

you can turn off the buzzer. To go back to normal

operating conditions, set the freezer knob "F" to position

" " (refrigerator off) and then turn the appliance back

on.

2. If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to

excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again

and the two yellow indicator lights "C" and "E" together

with the green one "D" will start flashing to indicate an

excessive heating. We recommend you check the

conditions of the food, as it may be necessary to throw it

away. In all cases, food should not be refrozen unless you

cook it first. To prevent food from refreezing, the freezer

will maintain a temperature of 0°C. Using the special alarm

silencing procedure (open and shut the refrigerator door),

you can turn off the buzzer. To go back to normal

operating conditions, set the freezer knob "F" to position

" " (refrigerator off) and then turn the appliance back

on.

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.

Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed

up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec-

ommended by the manufacturer.

How to Defrost the Refrigerator

This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is chan-

neled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose

(fig. 6). Here, the heat produced by the compressor will make

it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to periodically

check and clean the hole of the drain, which is located behind

the vegetable crispers, so that the water drains properly.

How to defrost the freezer compartment

- Remove the frost from time to time with the aid of the

special scraper provided (do not use knives or metal objects).

- If the frost is more than 5 mm thick, then you must defrost

the freezer completely. Proceed as follows: one day

beforehand, press the freezing button "G" until the yellow

lamp "E" comes on; it helps give the food a healthy extra

"cold shock". After 24 hours, the button switches itself off

automatically, yet you can switch it off yourself just be

pressing it again. Set the thermostat knob "F" on position

" ". WARNING: this operation switches off the whole

appliance (including the fridge compartment).

Wrap all frozen foods in newspaper and place them either

in another refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the door

open, so as to allow all the frost to melt completely, helping

it along with containers filled with lukewarm water.

The unit is provided with a system which allows the defrost

water to be collected in a container to be placed beneath

the unit (proceed as illustrated in fig. 7).

Clean and dry thoroughly before restarting the appliance.

Remember that the motor will not start immediately,

but rather after approximately 8 minutes.

Fig. 6

Cleaning and maintenance

HOLIDAY FUNCTION. Mould and bad odours forming

inside your unused fridge when you go on holiday need

no longer be a problem: just enable the Holiday

function (by setting knob "B" accordingly). This way,

with limited energy consumption, the temperature of

the refrigerator compartment is kept at around 15°C

(you can store your make up and beauty products in it,

for example) and the freezer is operated at its minimum

setting, which is essential for food preservation.

A brief double buzzer will sound

to confirm the function has been

enabled, whereas a single buzzer

indicates it has been disabled.

Prima di pulire il frigorifero posizionare su “ ” la ma-

nopola “F” e successivamente disinserire la spina.

- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless

materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed

containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation

of odours that are difficult to remove.

- Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the

internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked

with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which

is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium

bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent.

- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach or

detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based

products.

- All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot

soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry thoroughly

before replacing them.

- What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the back

panel and affect the proper running of the appliance. To

remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully using the

appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.

- When the appliance is left unused for an extended amount of

time. If you decide to switch your appliance off during the summer

months, clean it on the inside and leave the doors open.

- Replacing the light bulb.

When replacing the light of

the refrigerator compart-

ment unplug the unit from

the power supply and chang

the used lamp with another

one of not more than 15 W.

For access ti lamp "A", re-

move the centre screw "B"

at the back of the lamp

cover, as indicated in fig. 8.

Is There a Problem?

Green LED does not light up

Have you checked whether:

• The main switch for the electricity to the apartment or

home has been turned off;

• The plug is properly inserted in the outlet;

• The outlet is adequate; try inserting the plug into another

outlet in the room.

The motor does not start

Have you checked whether:

••

• 8 minutes have passed since you switched the appliance

on?

This model is in fact provided with a motor protection control

system which means that it will only start approximately 8

minutes after being switched on.

Warning lights are weak

Check that:

••

• Invert the plug in the outlet to see if this still happens.

The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool

properly.

Have you checked whether:

• The doors do not close well or the seals are faulty;

• The doors are left open too long;

• The thermostat knob is not on the proper setting;

• The refrigerator or freezer is overfilled.

The food in the refrigerator becomes too cold.

Have you checked whether:

• The thermostat knob is on the proper setting;

• The food is in contact with the back wall - which is the

coldest part.

The motor runs continuously.

Have you checked whether

••

• the freezer switch has been pressed (yellow lamp lit or

flashing);

• The doors are not closed well or have remained open too

long;

• The ambient temperature is too high;

• The thermostat knob is not on the proper setting.

The appliance makes too much noise.

The gas refrigerant produces a slight noise even when the

compressor is not running (this is not a defect).

Have you checked whether:

• The refrigerator is level.

• The appliance was installed between cabinets or objects

that vibrate and make noise.

There is water on the bottom of the refrigerator.

Have you checked whether:

• The hole for draining the water from the frost is clogged.

If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate or

the problem persists, call the nearest Service Centre and

inform them of: the type of problem, the abbreviation of

the model name (Mod.) and the relative numbers (S/N) writ-

ten on the rating plate located at the bottom left next to

the vegetable crisper (see example in the figure below).

Never call on unauthorized technicians and always

refuse spare parts which are not originals.
