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.

Refrigerator compartment
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 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.

¥ To permit storage of food packages of various

sizes, the central door shelf can be adjusted in
height.

¥ Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the

arrows until it comes free, then reposition as
required.

¥ For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom

door sheves can be removed by pulling them in the
direction of the arrows, then refitting them in

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 automatic
defrosting and so 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
glass 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.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

cooling unit maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by authorised
technicians.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

¥ Defrosting the refrigerator compartment is

automatic. The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a container at the back of the appliance,
above the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

¥ It is important to periodically clean the defrost

water drain hole.

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.

To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a
year remove the ventilation grille at the base and
clean the air channels with a vacuum cleaner.

When the appliance is not in use

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Changing the light bulb

¥ Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off

the appliance and disconnect from the electricity
supply, then replace the bulb as follows:

1. unscrew the light cover securing screws.

2. unhook the moving part by pressing it as shown
in the figure.

3. Replace the bulb by other with another with the
same charcteristics.

Something not Working

Problems may be due to causes which can easily be solved before calling the Technical Service. Please
follow these instructions:

Level properly the appliances if it is not well levelled.
Weight surpasses the storage limit of the door shelf so spread weight more evenly or
take some products out.
Readjust the door if it is not properly aligned.

Set a lower temperature.
Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate around them.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete
and clean.
The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.

Set a warmer temperature.

Turn the thermostat knob to a lower number
The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.
Check that the ventilation is sufficient and that the ventilation openings are unobstructed.
The cause could be the introduction of large quantities of food and/or frequent
opening/closing of the door.

Sometimes is normal. During automatic defrosting frost thaws on the cooling plate.

Place the drain hose at the back of the cabinet above the drain bowl.

Sometimes this is normal. Temperature control may cause clicking sounds when the
system is connected or disconnected.
The injected cooling gas may produce a gurgling sound while passing through the tubes.
The motor may cause a humming noise and/or slight bumping.
The insulation material used has a tendency to slighly increase noise levels, how ever it
allows for much better insulation and a lower energy consumption,
You may occasionally hear the fans working. This is nothing to worry about. The fans
are simply helping the air to circulate more effectively.

Door do not close

It is too warm inside the refrigerator

It is too cold inside the refrigerator.

The compressor works continuously.

There is water inside/outside the refrigerator.

Water comes out on the floor.
