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.

17

Hints for refrigeration

¥ Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in

the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food,
particularly if it has a strong smell.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some useful hints:

¥ Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in

polythene bags and place on top of the salad
compartment, this being the coldest spot in the
refrigerator.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.

¥ Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should

be well covered and can be stored on any of the
glass shelves.

¥ Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer.

¥ Butter & cheese: these should be placed in

special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium
foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as
possible.

¥ Milk bottles: these should have a top 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.

Freezer compartment
Temperature Control

¥ To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change

the setting of the thermostat knob.

¥ For a quicker freezing operation, turn the

thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but
remember that, in this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop below 0¡C. If
this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer
setting.

¥ At the first starting-up or after a period out of use,

before putting the products in the compartment, let
the appliance run for at least two hours on the
coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to
the normal operating position.

Interior Accessories

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for
the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in the
freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove
the trays from the freezer.

Hints

Saving Energy

¥ Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is

placed. See the section ÒInstallationÓ. When
installed correctly the cabinet will consume less
energy.

¥ Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long

periods or opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

¥ If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat

knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and
the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the
evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a
warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic
defrosting and so a saving in electricity
consumption.

¥ Do not place warm foods inside the appliance.

Allow warm foods to cool first.

¥ Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in

the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge.

¥ Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille

on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean.

OK

Maintenance

Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

cooling unit maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by authorised
technicians.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

¥ Defrosting the refrigerator compartment is

automatic. The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a container at the back of the appliance,
above the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

¥ It is important to periodically clean the defrost

water drain hole.

Prooceed as follows:

¥ Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers

of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

¥ Pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the

thermostat knob to the ÇOÈ setting.

¥ Leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf

of the refrigerator compartment, under the drain
hole, remove the plug as shown in the figure.

¥ When defrosting is completed, dry the interior

thoroughly and refit the plug.

¥ Turn the thermostat knob back to the required

setting or replace the plug in the power socket.

¥ Reload the previously removed food into the

compartment.

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.

18

Hints

Freezing of fresh food and storage of frozen food

¥ Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be

rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required.

¥ Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene

and make sure that the packages are airtight.

¥ Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food

which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter.

¥ Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your

hands could stick to the food and cause skin
abrasions.

¥ It is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each

individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time.

¥ Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from

the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible
time.

¥ Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,

etc.) in the freezing compartment as they may
burst.

¥ Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and

cannot be refrozen.

Freezer compartment

¥ Remove the frost with a plastic scraper.
¥ Whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 5 mm

complete defrosting should be carried out.

Cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your
appliance as it may get damaged.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as these will
damage the surface and leave a strong
odour.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a
year remove the ventilation grille at the base and
clean the air channels with a vacuum cleaner.

When the appliance is not in use

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Changing the light bulb

¥ Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off

the appliance and disconnect from the electricity
supply, then replace the bulb as follows:

1. unscrew the light cover securing screws.

2. unhook the moving part by pressing it as shown
in the figure.

3. Replace the bulb by other with another with the
same charcteristics.

Something not Working

Problems may be due to causes which can easily be solved before calling the Technical Service. Please
follow these instructions:

Weight surpasses the storage limit of the door shelf so spread weight more evenly or
take some products out.
The appliance is not properly installed. Please look in the ÒBuilding-inÓ section.

Set a lower temperature.
Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate around them.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete
and clean.
The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.

Set a warmer temperature.

Turn the thermostat knob to a lower number.
The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.
Check that the ventilation is sufficient and that the ventilation openings are
unobstructed.
The cause could be the introduction of large quantities of food and/or frequent
opening/closing of the door.

Sometimes is normal. During automatic defrosting frost thaws on the cooling plate.

Place the drain hose at the back of the cabinet above the drain bowl.

Sometimes this is normal. Temperature control may cause clicking sounds when the
system is connected or disconnected.
The injected cooling gas may produce a gurgling sound while passing through the
tubes.
The motor may cause a humming noise and/or slight bumping.
The insulation material used has a tendency to slighly increase noise levels, how ever it
allows for much better insulation and a lower energy consumption.

Door does not close

It is too warm inside the refrigerator

It is too cold inside the refrigerator.

The compressor works continuously.

There is water inside/outside the refrigerator.

Water comes out on the floor.

Installation

Take utmost care when handling your
appliance so as not to cause any damages to
the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid
leakages.

¥ During normal operation, the condenser and

compressor at the back of the appliance heat up
considerably. 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.

¥ 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.

Positioning

¥ Unpack the cabinet and check that it is in good

condition and free of any transport damage.

¥ Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and

heat sources.

¥ Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to

direct sunlight.

¥ For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be

as shown in Fig.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of
obstruction.

Technical specifications

The technical data is indicated in the rating plate on the left side inside the appliance.

If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer
compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 12
hours) and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be
used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage
period).

This information can be found on the rating plate
inside the cabenit on the left hand wall. We
recommend that you enter this information here, so
that it is handy if needed.

If you cannot find the remedy for a malfunction in
these operating instructions, please contact your
dealer or our customer service department and
consult the Guarantee card.
