In the interest of your safety and to ensure
the correct use, before installing and first us­ing the appliance, read this user manual
carefully, including its hints and warnings. To
avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents,
it is important to ensure that all people using
the appliance are thoroughly familiar with its

• If you are discarding the appliance pull the
plug out of the socket, cut the connection
cable (as close to the appliance as you
can) and remove the door to prevent play­ing children to suffer electric shock or to
close themselves into it.

• If this appliance featuring magnetic door
seals is to replace an older appliance hav­ing a spring lock (latch) on the door or lid,

Operation

Switching on

Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to
a medium setting.

Switching off

To turn off the appliance, turn the Tempera­ture regulator to the "O" position.

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as fol­lows:

• turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum cold­ness.

• turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.

either its refrigerant circuit or insulation
materials. The appliance shall not be dis­carded together with the urban refuse
and rubbish. The insulation foam con­tains flammable gases: the appliance
shall be disposed according to the ap­plicable regulations to obtain from your
local authorities. Avoid damaging the
cooling unit, especially at the rear near
the heat exchanger. The materials used
on this appliance marked by the symbol

are recyclable.

A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.

However, 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 dial must be
set to a higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and therefore reduced
energy consumption.

First 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 brand­new product, then dry thoroughly.

Daily use

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn
the temperature regulator toward higher set­tings to obtain the maximum coldness.

Important! Do not use detergents or abra­sive powders, as these will damage the fin­ish.

Important! In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop below
0°C. If this occurs reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer setting.

Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top
compartment.

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 at least 2
hours on the higher settings.

Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for longer
than the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-frozen (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.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.

gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, then reposition as
required.

Bottle rack

front) in the pre-positioned shelf.

Important! If the shelf is positioned
horizontally, place only closed bottles.

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:

This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order
to store previously opened bottles. To obtain
this result, pull the shelf up so it can rotate
upwards and be placed on the next higher
level.
