First use

6

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
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

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

DAILY USE

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep­frozen 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.

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.

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.

Bottle rack

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.

Daily use

Vegetable Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vege­tables.
There is a separator inside the drawer that can
be placed in different positions to allow for the
subdivision best suited to personal needs.
There is a grille (if foreseen) on the bottom of
the drawer to separate the fruit and vegetables
from any humidity that may form on the bot­tom surface.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for
cleaning purposes

The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent their accidental removal or falling
out. At the time of its removal from the freezer, pull the basket towards yourself and,
upon reaching the end point, remove the basket by tilting its front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front of the basket to insert it into the
freezer. Once you are over the end points, push the baskets back in their position.

Helpful hints and tips

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils or tubing. This is correct.

• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear
a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is correct.

• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not danger­ous physical phenomenon. This is correct.

• When the compressor switches on or switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of the
temperature regulator. This is correct.

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

9

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.

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;

Care and cleaning

10

• 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

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 or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save electricity consumption.

Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

Care and cleaning

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

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.

11

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:

• pull out the plug from the wall socket or switch off the appliance

• remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place

• remove the freezer drawers

• put insulating material around the drawers, e.g. blankets or newspapers.

Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls
with hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.

• Loosen the drainage channel from its resting
position, push it in according to the illustra­tion and place it in the bottom freezer drawer
where water can collect

• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to
thaw. Use a wood or a plastic scraper

• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe
the cabinet dry, then put the drainage chan­nel back in place.

• switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen foodstuff.

What to do if…

12

It is recommended to operate the appliance at the highest position of the thermo­static control for some hours so that it can reach the sufficient storing tempera­ture as soon as possible.

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.

Protection de l'environnement

Le système frigorifique et l'isolation de votre appareil ne contiennent pas de C.F.C. contri­buant ainsi à préserver l'environnement. L'appareil ne doit pas être mis au rebut avec les
ordures ménagères et les déchets urbains. La mousse d'isolation contient des gaz inflam­mables : l'appareil sera mis au rebut conformément aux règlements applicables disponi­bles auprès des autorités locales. Veillez à ne pas détériorer les circuits frigorifiques, no­tamment au niveau du condenseur. Les matériaux utilisés dans cet appareil identifiés par
le symbole

sont recyclables.

FONCTIONNEMENT

Mise en fonctionnement

Branchez l'appareil sur une prise murale.
Tournez le bouton du thermostat dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre sur une position
moyenne.

8) Si un branchement sur le réseau d'eau est prévu

Première utilisation

Mise à l'arrêt

Pour mettre à l'arrêt l'appareil, tournez le bouton du thermostat sur la position "O".

Réglage de la température

La température est réglée automatiquement.
Pour faire fonctionner l'appareil, procédez comme suit :

• tournez le bouton du thermostat vers le bas pour obtenir un réglage de froid minimum.

• tourne z le bouton du thermostat vers le haut pour o btenir un réglage de froid maximum .

Une position moyenne est la plus indiquée.

Toutefois, le réglage doit être choisi en tenant compte du fait que la température à l'inté­rieur de l'appareil dépend de plusieurs facteurs :

• la température ambiante

• la fréquence d'ouverture de la porte

• la quantité de denrées stockées

• l'emplacement de l'appareil.

Si le thermostat est réglé sur la position de froid maximum, lorsque la température am­biante est élevée et que l'appareil est plein, il est possible que le compresseur fonctionne
en régime continu. Dans ce cas, il y a un risque de formation excessive de givre sur la
paroi postérieure à l'intérieur de l'appareil. Pour éviter cet inconvénient, placez le ther­mostat sur une température plus élevée de façon à permettre un dégivrage automatique
et, par conséquent, des économies de courant.

internes avec de l'eau tiède savonneuse pour supprimer l'odeur caractéristique du "neuf"
puis séchez soigneusement.

N'utilisez pas de produits abrasifs, poudre à récurer, éponge métallique pour ne pas abî­mer la finition.

UTILISATION QUOTIDIENNE

Congélation d'aliments frais

Le compartiment congélateur est idéal pour congeler des denrées fraîches et conserver
les aliments surgelés ou congelés pendant longtemps.
Pour congeler les denrées fraîches, il n'est pas nécessaire de modifier le réglage moyen.
Toutefois, pour une congélation plus rapide, tournez le bouton du thermostat vers le
haut pour obtenir un réglage de froid maximum.

Dans ce cas, la température du compartiment réfrigérateur peut chuter au-dessous de
0°C. Si cela se produit, repositionnez le bouton du thermostat sur un réglage plus chaud.
