technicians.

Use

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

• Best performance is obtained with ambient
temperature between +18°C and +43°C (class T);
+18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C
(class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN).The
class of your appliance is shown on its rating
plate.

Warning: when the ambient temperature is not
included within the range indicated for the class
of this appliance, the following instructions must
be observed: when the ambient temperature
drops below the minimum level, the storage
temperature in the freezer compartment cannot
be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the
food stored as soon as possible.

• 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

Operation

Insert the plug in the power socket. Press the button
ON/OFF (B). The fridge is switched on.

The fridge is pre-set to run at +5°C. This
temperature will be reached in a few hours.

As soon as the appliance is switched on the
temperature indicator (D) shows the current
temperaure inside the fridge.

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 round
it.

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.

Bottle holder

Place the bottles (with the opening facing front) in
the pre-positioned shelf.
If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only
closed bottles.
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.

MAINTENANCE

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
take the following precautions:

Turn off the appliance;
remove all food;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent

unpleasant smells.

Illumination lamp

If it becomes necessary to replace the lamp, press
on the rear hook and at the same time
slide the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Attention:

Replace the lamp with one of the same power (the
maximum power is shown on the light diffuser).

Periodic cleaning

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner.This operstion will
improve the performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.

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.

It is important to 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.

The freezer compartment, however, will become
progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
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
and it is advisable to carry out this operation when

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

Air recycling

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a
special D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which can
be turned on with the switch ( see fig. 1).The green
light, when on, means that the fan is working.

It is suggested that the fan (D.A.C.) be used when
the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C

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.

The numbers indicate storage times in months for the
appropriate types of frozen goods.Whether the
upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is
valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre­treating before freezing;

• do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,
etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may
burst.

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;

• 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;

• the symbols on the drawers show different types of
frozen goods.

HINTS

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.
