Use and Control

Before Use

Wait two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

¥ 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.

¥ Remove safety elements used for transportation.

Starting the appliance

¥ Insert the plug into the wall socket and turn the thermostat knob

clockwise beyond position ÇOÈ (OFF). ¥ Turn the thermostat control to the required setting. ¥ To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to position

ÇOÈ.

Temperature regulation

¥ The thermostat control situated inside the fridge compartment

regulates the temperature of the appliance.

¥ It allows you to adjust the temperature inside the refrigerator

according to use and external conditions. ¥

Setting ã1Ò = hightest temperature, warmest setting ¥ Setting ã6Ò = lowest temperature, coldest setting. ¥ Setting ã0Ò = Off

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Internal Parts

Storage shelves

¥ The shelves can be removed for cleaning.

¥ To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the shelves

can be placed at different heights.

¥ To remove the internal shelf pull forward until it can be tipped up

or down and removed.

¥ Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different

height.

The glass shelf above the vegetable drawers and the bottle shelf should always remain in position, to ensure correct air circulation.

Ice cube production

The refrigerator is equipped with one or more ice cube trays, which should be filled with drinking water and placed in the special compartment.

Do not use metal implements to detach the trays.

Hints

Saving Energy

¥ Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the

section ÒInstallationÓ. When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy.

¥ Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening

the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

¥ 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 a saving in electricity consumption.

¥ Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods

to cool first.

¥ Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear

wall of your appliance, always clean.

Hints for refrigeration

¥ 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.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints: ¥

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.

¥ Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be well

covered and can be stored on any of the wire 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.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Maintenance

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

Defrosting

During normal operation, the evaporator in the refrigerator compartment will gradually become covered with frost. This frost is a thermal insulator which inhibits cooling and must therefore be removed, otherwise there will be a significant reduction in cooling efficiency and an increase in electricity consumption. To defrost, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the thermostat knob on position ÒOÓ, making sure that the stopper of the water collector tray is firmly inserted in the water drain hole;

2. Once defrosted, turn the thermostat knob on a medium position to restart the appliance.The water which has collected in the tray placed under the evaporator must be removed.

3. Place a container on the first shelf in the refrigerator directly under the water drain hole of the defrost tray and remove the stopper as shown in the figure.

4. dry thoroughly the ice-compartment and replace the stopper.

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.

Cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The condenser and compressor should be cleaned using a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
