Use
The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
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.
Warning: when the ambient temperature is not included within the range indicated for the class of this appliance, the following instructions must be observed: when the ambient temperature drops below the minimum level, the storage temperature in the freezer compartment cannot be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the food stored as soon as possible.
Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been thawed out.
Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.
The inner lining of the appliance consists of channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these should be punctured this would damage the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using the scraper provided. Under no circumstances should solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance.
Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer as it creates pressure on the container, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance.

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.
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.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to position «O»
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.
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 round it.
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.
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.
4
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
Bottle rack
Place bottles in the rack with the bottleneck to the front.
Important: Only store unopened bottles horizontally.
The bottle rack can be tilted for storing opened bottles.
To do this pull the bottle rack forward until it can be tilted upwards, then slide the front support into the next level up.
D338
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.
5
Air recycling
PR271
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a special fan which can be turned on with the switch ( see fig.). The green light, when on, means that the fan is working.
It is suggested that the fan be used when the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C .
This device allows for rapid cooling of foods and a more uniform temperature in the compartment.
Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.There is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different positions to allow for the subdivision best suited to personal needs. There is a grille on the bottom of the drawer to separate the fruit and vegetables from any humidity that may form on the bottom surface. To remove the drawer, use the side handles (as shown in the Fig.). All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.
SWITCH
Humidity Control
The drawer 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).
The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted with the slider. Right slider: Ventilation slots opened.
With the ventilation slots open, more air circulation results in a lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments. Left slider: Ventilation slots closed. When the ventilation slots are closed, the natural moisture content of the food in the fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for longer.
6
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food, and for freezing fresh food. To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the setting of the thermostat knob with respect to the normal running position. However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember that, in this condition, the refrigerating compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset thermostat knob 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 for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position.
Important
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 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.
Freezing Calendar
10 - 1210 - 1210 - 1210 - 1 23-63-63-63-63-41-2
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 pre-treating before freezing.

HINTS
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:
it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time;
do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may burst.
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.
Place the food to be frozen on the freezer shelf as this is the coldest part.
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;

MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
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.
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
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.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent unpleasant smells.
Interior light
The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment can be reached as follows:
unscrew the light cover securing screw.
unhook the moving part as shown in the figure.
If the light does not come on when the door
is open, check that it is screwed into place properly. If it still does not light up, change the bulb.The rating is shown on the light bulb cover.
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.
D411
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.
D037

The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with a plastic scraper, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the thermostat knob to the «O» setting;
2. remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place;
3. leave the door open;
4. when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly;
5. turn the thermostat knob back to the required setting or replace the plug in the power socket.
6. After two or three hours, reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
Important:
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
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.
