Use
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.
Starting-up
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the door and turn the thermostat control knob,
to be found on the upper right hand side of the inner
compartment, clockwise beyond position ÇOÈ (OFF)
to start the appliance.
Temperature control
Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the
thermostat knob clockwise until its pointer coincides
with the required setting.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
The minimum setting (least cold) is represented by
the lowest number and the maximum setting
(coldest) by the highest number. In any case, bear in
mind that the temperature can be either increased
(warmer) by turning the thermostat knob
anticlockwise or decreased (colder) by turning it
clockwise.
The thermostat knob setting should be adjusted
depending on the inner temperature of the
refrigerator, which, in turn, depends on a number of
factors, such as:
¥ ambient temperature
¥ number of times the door is opened
¥ quantity of food stored
¥ location of the appliance
Warning
If the ambient temperature is high, the
thermostat knob is on the coldest setting
(higher numbers) and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice to form
on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the
knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers)
to allow automatic defrosting and so a
saving in electricity consumption.
Fresh food refrigeration
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for cooling
drinks and for normal food storing.
To obtain the best performance:
¥ do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator
¥ cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a
strong smell.
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 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.
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember
that, in this condition, the refrigerator 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
If there is a power failure when food is in
the freezer, do not open the door of the
freezer compartment. The frozen food will
not be affected if the power cut is of short
duration (up to 12 hours) and the freezer
compartment is full, otherwise, it is
recommended that the food should be
used within a short time (a temperature
increase of the frozen food shortens its
safe storage period).

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.
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.
The glass shelf above the vegetable drawers
and the bottle shelf should always remain in
position, to ensure correct air circulation.
Positioning the door shelves
This model is equipped with a variable storage box
which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and
can be slid sideways.
For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door
sheves can be easily removed and refitted in
position.

Hints
Hints for refrigeration
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some useful hints:
¥ Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should
be well covered and can be stored on any of the
glass shelves.
¥ Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer.
¥
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in
special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium
foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as
possible.
¥ Milk bottles: these should have a top and should
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
¥ Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad
compartment, this being the coldest spot in the
refrigerator.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.
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;
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
authorised technicians.
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.
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.
¥ 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;
¥
do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.)
in the freezing compartment as they may burst.
Maintenance
Page 7

It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole (F) situated under the salad
drawers to prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside. Use the special
cleaner provided (P), which you will find already
inserted into the drain hole.
4. when defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly and refit the plug.
5. Turn the thermostat knob back to the required
setting or replace the plug in the power socket.
Important
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:
¥ 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.
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.
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 ÇOÈ 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, place a basin on the top shelf
of the refrigerator compartment, under the drain
hole, remove the plug as shown in the figure;
Periodic cleaning
Never use metal objects for clearing your
appliance as it may get damaged.
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
The appliance is equipped with a ventilation grid.
Keep clean to guarantee good ventilation and good
working order of the appliance.
