The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Best performance is obtained with ambient temperature between +18°C and +43°C (class T); +18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C (class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN). The class of your

appliance is shown on its rating plate.

For building into kitchen units follow the special “ Building-in” instructions given.

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 brandnew product, then dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Important

It is essential that the appliance be connected to an efficient earth tap. For this purpose the supply cable plug incorporates a special earth contact. If the sockets of your domestic wiring system are not earthed, have the appliance connected to a separate earth wire by a qualified electrician in accordance with existing safety regulations.

The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed.

USE

Operation

Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position. The appliance will start to operate.

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings.

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

room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to position «O».

drawer(s).

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 trave 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.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired. For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie over the rear ones.

Important

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.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance: do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigerator

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

Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it. Useful hints: Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable

Fig. 10

Defrosting

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.

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.

Internal clearing

Never use metal objects for clearing your appliance as it may get damaged.

When performing a complete defrosting, wash the internal surfaces of the freezer with lukewarm water and bicarbonate; rinse and then accurately dry.

External clearing

Wash the outer body with lukewarm water and soap. Periodically use a clearing polish to keep the outer body shining. Dust the condenser located behind the freezer with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. An excessive accumulation of dust might compromise the freezer’s efficiency.

Interior light

The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment can be reached as follows:

■

unscrew the light cover securing screws;

■

unhook the moving part by pressing it as shown in the figure.

If the door is open and the light does not come on, check that the bulb is properly screwed in; if it still does not work, replace the bulb with one of the same power.

The maximum rating is shown on the light cover.

Fig 14

Extended periods of non-operation

Whenever the freezer is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect it from the wall socket and empty and clean the freezer. Remember to leave the door open for the entire period of time in which the freezer is not to be used.

DEFECTIVE OPERATION

Before calling your local dealer for servicing assistance, check the following points to see if you may not resolve the problem yourself:

Make sure that the freezer is plugged into the wall socket correctly, and that electrical current arrives to the freezer without interruption.

Control the thermostat setting. In the event that the freezer makes excessive

noise or vibration, make sure that it is not in direct contact with the wall or adjacent furniture.
