Temperature indicators
The temperature indicators show several information:
• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge (ACTUAL tem-
perature) is displayed.
• In the freezer the warmest temperature is displayed (ACTUAL temperature). When fully
filled, the warmest zone is normally located at the top in the front area of the freezer.
Depending upon how the section is filled, the temperatures are lower in other areas of
the freezer.
• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge temper-
ature currently set (DESIRED temperature).
When changing the temperature setting wait about 24 hours until the temperature display
has stabilised.
If there is a fault in the appliance the temperature indicator shows:
• a square or a letter in the temperature indicator of the fridge for a fault in the fridge
• a square or a letter in the temperature indicator of the freezer for a fault in the freezer.
Temperature regulation
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
1. Set the required temperature by pressing the corresponding temperature regulator. The
temperature indicator will immediately show the changed setting (DESIRED temperature) and the temperature indicator flashes.
2. Each time the temperature regulator is pressed the DESIRED temperature is adjusted
by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.
3. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the
temperature indicator will show again the current ACTUAL temperature inside the corresponding compartment. The temperature indicator will change from flashing to continuous illumination.
For a correct storage of the food the following temperatures should be set:
• +5 °C in the fridge
• -18 °C in the freezer.
When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic
defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage temperature within the fridge is reached
quickly you can store food immediately after switching on.

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 brandnew product, then dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
Daily use
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.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
