OPERATION
5
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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:
7
• 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.

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.
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.
