are recyclable.

First use

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:

• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness.

• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature in­side the appliance depends on:

• room temperature

• how often the door is opened

• the quantity of food stored

• the location of the appliance.

If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the
rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic
defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.

FIRST USE

7

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accesso­ries with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

DAILY USE

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep­frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the temperature regulator toward higher
settings to obtain the maximum coldness.

In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If
this occurs reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.

Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top compartment.

Daily use

8

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appli­ance and place food on cooling shelves to obtain the best performance.

WARNING!

Make sure that foods do not exceed the load limit stated on the side of the upper section
(where applicable)

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power
has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and
then re-frozen (after cooling).

Frozen Food Calendar

The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.
Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the
quality of the foods and treating before freezing.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com­partment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cook­ing will take longer.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill
these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

Cold accumulators

One or more cold accumulators are supplied in the freezer; these increase the length of
time for which food will keep in the event of a power failure or breakdown.

Helpful hints and tips

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be posi­tioned as desired.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at
different heights.

Positioning the sliding box

The sliding box can be placed at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as follow:

1. lift the shelf with the sliding box up-

wards and out of the holders in the door

2. remove the retaining bracket out of the

guide under the shelf

3. Reverse the above operation to insert

the sliding box at a different height.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low tem­perature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, caus­ing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator to-

Helpful hints and tips

ward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity con­sumption.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour

• position food so that air can circulate freely around it

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegeta­ble drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special draw­er(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating
plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added dur­ing this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are
airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in temperature of the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the re­tailer;

Care and cleaning

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the
shortest possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION!

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax pol­ishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

11

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save electricity consumption.

Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of
this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.

Care and cleaning

12

It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigera­tor compartment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the Temperature regulator toward higher set­tings , in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.

To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool

place.

CAUTION!

Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

3. Leave the door open and insert the plas-

tic scraper in the appropriate seating at
the bottom centre, placing a basin under­neath to collect the defrost water

In order to speed up the defrosting process,
place a pot of warm water in the freezer com­partment. In addition, remove pieces of ice
that break away before defrosting is complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-

terior thoroughly and keep the scraper
for future use.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. After two or three hours, reload the previously removed food into the compartment.

What to do if…

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage
it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

•

disconnect the appliance from electricity supply

• remove all food

Protection de l'environnement

Le système frigorifique et l'isolation de votre appareil ne contiennent pas de C.F.C. contri­buant ainsi à préserver l'environnement. L'appareil ne doit pas être mis au rebut avec les
ordures ménagères et les déchets urbains. La mousse d'isolation contient des gaz inflam­mables : l'appareil sera mis au rebut conformément aux règlements applicables disponi­bles auprès des autorités locales. Veillez à ne pas détériorer les circuits frigorifiques, no­tamment au niveau du condenseur. Les matériaux utilisés dans cet appareil identifiés par
le symbole

sont recyclables.

FONCTIONNEMENT

Mise en fonctionnement

Branchez l'appareil sur une prise murale.
Tournez le bouton du thermostat dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre sur une position
moyenne.

Mise à l'arrêt

Pour mettre à l'arrêt l'appareil, tournez le bouton du thermostat sur la position "O".

Réglage de la température

La température est réglée automatiquement.
Pour faire fonctionner l'appareil, procédez comme suit :

• tournez le bouton du thermostat vers le bas pour obtenir un réglage de froid minimum.

• tour nez le bo uton du thermos tat vers le haut pour obt enir un r églage de froi d maximu m.

Une position moyenne est la plus indiquée.

Toutefois, le réglage doit être choisi en tenant compte du fait que la température à l'inté­rieur de l'appareil dépend de plusieurs facteurs :

• la température ambiante

• la fréquence d'ouverture de la porte

• la quantité de denrées stockées

• l'emplacement de l'appareil.

Si le thermostat est réglé sur la position de froid maximum, lorsque la température am­biante est élevée et que l'appareil est plein, il est possible que le compresseur fonctionne
en régime continu. Dans ce cas, il y a un risque de formation excessive de givre sur la
paroi postérieure à l'intérieur de l'appareil. Pour éviter cet inconvénient, placez le ther­mostat sur une température plus élevée de façon à permettre un dégivrage automatique
et, par conséquent, des économies de courant.
