OPERATION

Switching on

1.Insert the plug into the wall socket.

2.Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium setting.

Switching off

To turn off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to the "O" position.

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated.

To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:

•turn the Temperature regulator towards lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness.

•turn the Temperature regulator towards higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on:

•room temperature

•how often the door is opened

•the quantity of food stored

•the location of the appliance.

CAUTION! 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, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION! Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.

DAILY USE

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

6

Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.

1.Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free.

2.Reposition as required.

Temperature indicator

For proper storage of food the refrigerator is equipped with the temperature indicator.

The symbol on the side wall of the appliance indicates the coldest area in the refrigerator.

If OK is displayed (A), put fresh food into area indicated by symbol, if not (B), adjust the temperature controller to a colder setting and wait 12 hours before checking the temperature indicator again.

AOK

BOK

After putting fresh food into the appliance or after opening the door repeatedly or for a long period, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK; wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the temperature controller.

HINTS AND TIPS

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during operation:

•A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.

•A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.

•A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon).

•A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.

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

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

•Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.

7

•Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.

•Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed.

•Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.

•Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

General warnings

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.

The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Periodic cleaning

CAUTION! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

CAUTION! Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

CAUTION! When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

1.Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

2.Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

3.Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4.If accessible, clean the condenser and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush.

This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.

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.

8

Defrosting the freezer

CAUTION! 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.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set a lower temperature, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.

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.

1.Switch off the appliance, or pull out electrical plug from the wall socket.

2.Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

WARNING! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

3. Switch on the appliance.

After three hours reload the previously removed food into the freezer compartment.

Periods of non-operation

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

1.Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.

2.Remove all food.

3.Defrost (if necessary) and clean the appliance and all accessories.

4.Clean the appliance and all accessories.

5.Leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.

WARNING! If you want to keep the appliance switched on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
