The appliance is shut off by holding down key (A) for
more than 1 second. After this, a countdown of the
temperature from -3 -2 -1 will be shown.
When the appliance is shut off, display (B) also goes
off.
Activation of functions
Each time key C is pressed, the following functions are
activated in a clockwise direction:
Symbol 4 : rapid freezing function.
No Symbol: Normal operation
Operation
After plugging the plug into the power outlet, if the
display is not illuminated, press key (A), appliance on.
As soon as the appliance is turned on, the following
signals will appear on the control panel:
• symbol (2) will be positive, indicating that the
temperature is positive.
Place the freezer thermostat control knob (D) in a
middle position, and the appliance will be set up to
provide the following temperature:
roughly +5°C in the refrigerator.
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.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) or reduced (colder) by rotating the
thermostat knob clockwise.
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.
We suggest placing the knob in the middle position to
obtain an internal temperature of approximately +5° C.
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.
Use of the fridge compartment
Shopping Function
If you need to insert a large amount of warm food, for
example after doing the grocery shopping, we suggest
activating the Shopping function to chill the products
more rapidly and to avoid warming the other food
which is already in the refrigerator and/or freezer.
The shopping function is activated by pressing key C
(several times if necessary) until the corresponding
icon appears
The shopping function shuts off automatically after
approximately 6 hours.
It is possible to de-activate the function at any time by
pressing key C (see paragraph "Function Activation").

Explanation of the cold zone signs
The symbol shown here on the left indicates the coldest point inside your refrigerator.
Coldest area: below or equal to +4°C
Meat, poultry, fish, cold cuts, ready-to-eat meals, mixed salads, egg or cream based mixes and cakes, fresh
pasta, cake mixes, pizzas/quiches, fresh foods and fresh-milk cheeses, vegetables ready to be used and
packed in plastic bags and all other fresh foods whose expiry date is associated with a preservation
temperature below or equal to +4°C.
Temperatur indicator
Thermostat must be adjusted Right Temperature
With the temperature indicator you can keep a check that your refrigerator is working properly.
The indicator shows the "OK" symbol when the coldest area reaches a temperature that is below or equal to
4°C.
If the temperature is higher than 4°C the indicator is black so you must adjust the thermostat to make the
temperature drop.
ATTENTION: Keeping the refrigerator door open for a long time will cause the internal temperature to rise. To
measure the temperature correctly, it should be read on the indicator within 30 seconds.
FOOD PROTECTION
Air recycling
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a
special D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which can
be turned on with the switch ( see fig. 1).The green
light, when on, means that the fan is working.
It is suggested that the fan (D.A.C.) be used when
the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C .
This device allows for rapid cooling of foods and a
more uniform temperature in the compartment.

Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place
on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days
at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)
provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in
special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium
foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as
possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap 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.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be placed at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows
until it comes free, then reposition as required.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.
