PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
• Only use the refrigerator compartment to
store fresh foods only and the low
temperature compartment to store deepfrozen foods and making ice-cubes.
• Do not cover or close the air vents.
• Do not put glassware containers holding
liquids in the low temperature compartment
since they may explode.
• Do not eat ice-cubes or ice-lollies
immediately after taking them out of the
low temperature compartment, since they
may cause cold-burns.
• To prevent the risk of trapping and
suffocation, do not allow children to play or
hide inside the refrigerator.
• Before cleaning or servicing the
appliance, always unplug it or switch
off the mains power supply.
• The power cable may only be replaced
by authorized personnel.
Declaration of conformity
• This appliance is designed to store food
products and complies with European
Directive 89/109/EEC.
For appliances with Isobutane (R600a)
The refrigerant Isobutane is a natural gas of
high environmental compatibility but which
is inflammable. Therefore, it is essential to
ensure that the ducts of the refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.
HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
This is an automatic refrigerator or refrigerator
with star low temperature compartment.
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is
fully automatic.
The refrigerator operates in an ambient
temperature ranging from +16°C to +32°C.
Switching on the refrigerator
Insert the plug in the mains socket.
The thermostat allows you to set the
temperature inside the refrigerator
compartment without altering the conditions
inside the low temperature compartment.
Setting the temperature:
1. For correct operation and excellent storage
results in both compartments, set the
thermostat between positions 2 and 3.
2. To set the temperature inside the
compartments, turn the thermostat as
follows:
• 1-2 for a WARMER TEMPERATURE.
• 3-4 for a COLDER TEMPERATURE.
Thermostat set to • position: the appliance and
lighting switch off.
Note:
Ambient temperature, the frequency with
which the doors are opened and closed and the
position of the appliance can affect the
temperature inside the two compartments.
Adjust the thermostat accordingly.
How to store food in the refrigerator
compartment.
1. Store the food as shown in the adjacent
illustration.
A. Cooked food
B. Fish and meat
C. Fruit and vegetables
D. Bottles
E. Eggs
F. Butter, cheese and other dairy products.
Note:
• Make sure the air circulates freely between
the shelves and the back wall of the
refrigerator.
• Do not store food against the back wall of
the compartment.
• Store liquids in sealed containers.
• Vegetables with a high water content (e.g.
lettuce) may cause condensation to form in
the bottom drawers and/or on the middle
shelves; this does not affect the correct
operation of the appliance. Nevertheless, it
is advisable to wrap vegetables before
storing.

HOW TO USE THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT
If installed, the star low temperature
compartment may be used to store frozen
products for the time indicated on the
packaging.
When purchasing deep-frozen foods, check
the following:
• That the packaging is intact, since the food
may have deteriorated. If the package bulges
or is marked by damp patches, the product
has not been correctly stored and may have
partially thawed.
• Purchase deep-frozen foods last and use
insulated bags for transportation.
• Place items in the low temperature
compartment as soon as you get home.
• Consume partially thawed food within 24 hrs.
• Avoid temperature variations as much as
possible. Observe the “best before” date on
the packaging.
• Observe the instructions for preserving deepfrozen foods written on the packaging.
How to make ice-cubes
• Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full of water and place it in
the bottom of the low temperature
compartment.
If the ice-tray sticks to the bottom, do not
use pointed or sharp instruments to
detach it.
HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPAR TMENT
To maximise performance, defrost the low
temperature compartment at least twice a
year, or when the layer of ice on the walls
reaches 3 mm thickness.
Defrost the compartment when the
contents are low.
1. Open the door and take out all food items,
wrapping them in newspaper and placing
them together in a cool place or in an
insulated bag.
2. Unplug the appliance from the mains.
3. Leave the door open to allow the frost/ice
on the compartment walls to melt.
4. Remove the defrost water with a sponge.
5. Clean with a sponge soaked in a solution of
lukewarm water and neutral detergent. Do
not use abrasive substances.
6. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Note: to avoid causing irreparable
damage, do not use pointed or sharp
metal instruments to scrape off ice and
do not artificially heat the low
temperature compartment.

HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Clean the refrigerator compartment
regularly.
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is
fully automatic.
The formation of water droplets on the rear
internal wall of the refrigerator compartment
indicates that the automatic defrosting is
underway. Defrost water is channelled to a runoff and collected in a container, where it
evaporates. Clean the run-off channel regularly,
using the supplied instrument, in order to
guarantee a continuous outflow of defrost
water.
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the
mains.
• Use a sponge soaked in lukewarm water
and/or neutral detergent.
• Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use
abrasive materials.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Clean the air vents regularly with a vacuum
cleaner or a brush.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth.
Prolonged disuse
1. Empty the refrigerator and low temperature
compartments.
2. Unplug the appliance from the mains.
3. Defrost the low temperature compartment,
clean and dry both compartments.
4. Leave the doors open to prevent the
formation unpleasant odours.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Do not expose the appliance to heat
sources, direct sunlight, etc., since this will
increase energy consumption.
• Do not cover the vents or air outlets.
• When thawing food items, place them in
the refrigerator compartment to make use
of the low temperature.
• Keep the door open as little as possible.
• Do not put food in the refrigerator when
still hot.
• Do not leave the low temperature
compartment door open.
