• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer as it creates pressure on the container,
which may cause it to explode, resulting in
damage to the appliance. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial means to
speed up the thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. Never use
metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it
may get damaged.

Installation

• During normal operation, the condenser and
compressor at the back of the appliance heat up
considerably. For safety reasons, minimum
ventilation must be as shown in the instructions.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of
obstruction.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a special cord or assembly availa­ble from the manufacturer or its service agent.

• If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is
possible that the oil contained in the compressor
flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to
wait at least two hours before connecting the
appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the
compressor.

• There are working parts in this product which
heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate
ventilation as a failure to do this will result in
component failure and possible food loss. See
installation instructions.

• Parts which heat up should not be exposed.
Wherever possible the back of the product should
be against a wall.

Environment Protection

This appliance does not contain gasses which
could damage the ozone layer, in either its
refrigerant circuit or insulation materials.The
appliance shall not be discarded together with
the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging
the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the
heat exchanger. Information on your local
disposal sites may be obtained from municipal
authorities.The materials used on this appliance

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 brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.

USE

Operation

Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat

knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.
The appliance will start to operate. To stop
operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «O»

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward
lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob
towards higher settings.

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

• room temperature;

• how often the door is opened;

• the quantity of food stored;

• location of appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Important

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.

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 round it.
