IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

■

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

■

During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in the relevant paragraph.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

■

If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

■

There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. See installation instructions.

■

Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall.

■

If the appliance has been transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

Environment Protection

■

This appliance does not contain gasses which could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities.

■

The materials used on this appliance marked with the symbol are recyclable.

■

For freezers only (except built-in models): an ideal location is the cellar or basement.

■

Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances.

Service / Repair

■

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

■

This appliance should be serviced by an authorised Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts should be used.

■

Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service Centre, and always insist on genuine spare parts.

■

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.

Use

■

The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

■

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. See defrost instructions.

■

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. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.

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.

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 «O» (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: the ambient temperature, the number of times the door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the 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 and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell.

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.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the central door shelf can be adjusted in height. 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.

For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door sheves can be removed by pulling them in the direction of the arrows, then refitting them 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.
