OPERATION

SWITCHING ON

Insert the plug into the wall socket.

Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium setting.

SWITCHING OFF

To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature regulator to the "O" position.

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.

DAILY USE

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.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen 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.

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.

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

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.

TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

This appliance is sold in France.

In accordance with regulations valid in this country it must be provided with a special device (see figure) placed in the lower compartment of the fridge to indicate the coldest zone of it.

ENGLISH 9

MOVABLE SHELVES

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

HUMIDITY CONTROL

The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits (adjustable by means of a sliding lever), which makes it possible to regulate the temperature in the vegetable drawer(s). When the ventilation slots are closed:

the natural moisture content of the food in the fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for longer.

When the ventilation slots are opened: more air circulation results in a lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments.

10

POSITIONING THE DOOR SHELVES

2

1

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

To make these adjustments proceed as follows:

gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required.

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 toward 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

ENGLISH 11

•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;

•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.

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

12

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.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. 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 contain-
		er at the back of the appliance, over the
		motor compressor, where it evaporates.
		Periodically clean the defrost water drain
		hole in the middle of the refrigerator com-
		partment channel to prevent the water
		overflowing and dripping onto the food in-
		side. Use the special cleaner provided,
		which you will find already inserted into the
		drain hole.

5.Switch on the appliance.

6.Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum coldness and run the appliance for two or three hours using this setting.

7.Reload the previously removed food into the compartment.

WARNING!

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

•defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance and all accessories

•leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-

pleasant smells.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
