Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet discharges into the drip tray.
Daily Use
Use of the fridge compartment
The temperature of this compartment may be regulated between +2°C and +8°C. During normal functioning the indicator shows the temperature inside the fridge.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
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.
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 Temperature regulator must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.
Holiday Function H
The Holiday function sets the temperature at approx +15°C. This function allows you to keep the refrigerator shut and empty during a long holiday period ( e. g. the summer holidays) without the formation of a bad smell.
The Holiday Function H may be regulated by pressing the key B. By pressing the key B the current temperature setting flashes on the indicator. Press the key B again. When on the display appears the letter H confirm the choice of the temperature or by pressing the key E, (you will hear the buzzer) or by waiting for some seconds (you will not hear the buzzer).
Now the refrigerator is in the Holiday function in the energysaving mode and the indicator shows the letter H. It is possible to de-acti- vate the function at any time by changing the selected temperature in the compartment.
Warning! The fridge compartment must be empty with Holiday function on.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
Some shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to enable them to be removed.
Important! Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.

Positioning the door shelves
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.
Important! Do not move the lower door shelf to ensure correct air circulation.
Vegetable Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
Some models have a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different positions to allow for the subdivision best suited to personal needs.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.
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 temperature inside the fridge
•A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5° C. If the temperature regulator is set to a too cold temperature, food with a high water content may start to freeze if it has been placed in the coldest places in the fridge. The picture shows the coldest and warmest places inside the fridge.
•If you want to check the temperature of food stored in the refrigerator, place a
Care and cleaning
glass of water centrally in the cabinet, and put a proper thermometer with an accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6 hours the temperature can be monitored. The measuring shall be performed under steady-sta- ted conditions (without changing the load).
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.
Important! 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 or a vacuum cleaner. This operation
will improve the performance of the appliance and save energy consumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
Important! When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in warm water and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning external surfaces.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive paste as these will damage the paint, or stainless steel anti finger print coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed for washing.
Make sure the door is open and then:
1.Loosen the upper edge of the grille by pulling outward/downward.
2.Pull the grille straight out to completely remove it.
3.Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
Defrosting 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 drain hole 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.

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 3)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.
What to do if…
During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.
Important! The operation of the appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor and
circulating sound). This not means a trouble, but a normal operation.
Important! The appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being no current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit.
