Please report any transport damage
immediately to your dealer.
Wash the cabinet and inner lining with a
mild unscented detergent and wipe it dry.

The thermostat knob is adjustable from 0

(stop) to 7 (coldest). For model SANTO
3900 E: the thermostat knob in position 0
only stops the compressor. To stop the
inside fan and to switch off the light you
have to switch off the appliance at the wall
socket.

Find the position of the thermostat which

gives you the desired temperature. Start at
position 4.

The refrigerator section

Never store hot foodstuffs in the cabinet
and remember always to wrap up the
foodstuffs.
The evaporator of the refrigerator section is
automatically defrosted. The defrost water
is led to a tray on top of the compressor
where it evaporates.

The freezing section

Operating panel. See fig. (1) page 13.

Deep-freezing: Push the button (6). The

yellow indicator will then glow. It stops

glowing when the button is pushed anew.

When the quantity of foodstuffs to be

frozen is larger than 3 kg the button for
deep-freezing should be pushed about 24
hours before the desired freezing.
The button is pushed anew when the
foodstuffs are frozen.

It is important that the deep-freezing takes
place as quickly as possible. Therefore, the
temperature of the foodstuffs should be no

higher than room temperature.
Othenvise follow the advice given in

handbooks on deep-freezing and the
choice of packing material.

Place the foodstuffs so that they obtain

maximum contact with the freezing shelf.

Open the door only when necessary. The

lamp of the alarm knob, fig. (1) page 13,

indicates whether the acoustic alarm is on.

If the lamp is lit the acoustic alarm will

sound if the temperature is too high.

Please note that the water ices, if con
sumed immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment may result in a
freezer-burn, and they should be allowed to
warm slightly before consumption.

3. GENERAL ADVICE ON THE USE

OFTHE APPLIANCE

The shelves in the refrigerator section can

be moved, fig. (5) page 13.

The door rack and the butter- and cheese-

boxes are also movable, fig. (2 + 3) page

13.

The freezing shelf cover should be dosed.
The covers are opened by pulling, fig. (6)
page 13.
To remove the baskets lift them over the
stop pins, fig. (4) page 13.

If the cabinet is not to be used for more
than 48 hours the doors should be left
open to avoid ill smells.
The appliance is equipped with a high­quality skin condenser.
Therefore, a slight heating of the sidewalls

is quite normal.

Lighting

This appliance is equipped with a device

which causes the light to switch off if the

door is open / left ajar for abnormally long

time.

When the door has been closed for a

couple of minutes, the device is cut off and

the light switches on in normal way again.

Important!

In case of damage to the power cord It

must be replaced by a power cord of

corresponding type, available from the

manufacturer or his service representative.

4. MAINTENANCE

Only use an unscented detergent when

cleaning the cabinet inside.

Switch off the appliance and puli out the

plug when cleaning the cabinet.
The skirting board can be removed to
faciliate a vacuum cleaning of the floor.

See fig. (1) page 12. Please be careful if
the appliance is equipped with a compres

sor fan. Remember to clean the drain in
the refrigerator section also.

5. DISPOSAL OF THE APPLIANCE

The appliance contains recyclable materi

als. When disposing of the appliance,

please contact the technical administration

or other appropriate authority in your

municipality. They can inform you of the

collection and recycling measures used in

the municipality.

6. HAS THE APPLIANCE STOPPED

WORKING?

Before calling a repairman, check that

the plug is properly plugged into the wall

socket.

The fuse is intact.
The power has not been cut off.
All controls are correctly set.
The quantity of foodstuffs in deep-freezing

is not too large.

Switch off the cabinet for 15 minutes (for
instance at the thermostat). Switch it on
again and after 5 minutes check whether

frost has formed on the evaporator.

Do not open the cabinet when unnecessary.
If the break appears to stretch over a longer
period (over 12 hours) store the foodstuffs, if
possible, in another freezer. Most foodstuffs,
if thawed on the outside but othenwise hard,
can be re-frozen.

7. SAFETY

Do not store explosive substances in the

refrigerator section, such as gas, cigarette
lighters, petrol, ether or similar.

a way that children cannot enter it.

Never store liquids with carbon dioxide in
the freezing section.
