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.
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.
ENGLISH 7
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
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.

DAILY 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.
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.
In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat- ing plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be fro­zen.
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.
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 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.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
This appliance is sold in France. In accordance with regulations valid in this country it must be provided with a special device (see figure) placed in the lower com­partment of the fridge to indicate the cold­est zone of it.
MOVABLE SHELVES
POSITIONING THE DOOR SHELVES
ENGLISH 9
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 half­shelves can lie over the rear ones.
To permit storage of food packages of vari­ous sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights. To make these adjustments proceed as fol­low: gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then repo­sition as required.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run contin­uously, causing frost or ice on the evap­orator. If this happens, set the Tempera­ture Regulator toward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a sav­ing in electricity consumption.
HINTS FOR 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 around it
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.
• 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;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.
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.
HINTS FOR FREEZING
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
CARE AND CLEANING
ENGLISH 11
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carry­ing out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocar­bons in its cooling unit; mainte­nance and recharging must there­fore only be carried out by author­ized technicians.
PERIODIC CLEANING
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cab­inet. Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.
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. After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.
DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
A certain amount of frost will al­ways form around the top com­partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
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. 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.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3.
Open the door.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.

PERIODS OF NON-OPERATION
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appli-
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some­body to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
Switch on the appliance. Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the appliance for two or three hours using this setting.
Reload the previously removed food in­to the compartment.
WARNING!
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.
