OPERATION
SWITCHING ON
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
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 toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
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.
ENGLISH 7
A medium setting is generally the
most suitable.
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.

FIRST USE
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.
DAILY USE
ENGLISH 9
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation,
turn the temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset
the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
MOVABLE SHELVES
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for
longer than the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).
THAWING
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
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 halfshelves can lie over the rear ones.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
This appliance is sold in France.
In accordance with regulations valid in this
country it must be provided with a special
device (see figure) placed in the lower compartment of the fridge to indicate the coldest zone of it.

POSITIONING THE DOOR SHELVES
The model is equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf
compartment and can be slide sideways.
For more thorough cleaning, the top and
bottom door shelves can be easily removed and refitted in position
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
ENGLISH 11
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. This is
correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will
hear a whirring sound and a pulsating
noise from the compressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a
sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not
dangerous physical phenomenon. This is
correct.
• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint "click"
of the temperature regulator. This is correct.
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:
• 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 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.
HINTS FOR FREEZING
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• 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;
• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be
freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.

CARE AND CLEANING
ENGLISH 13
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
PERIODIC CLEANING
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5
ml to 0,5 liter of water)
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products or wax polishes to clean
the interior as this will damage the
surface and leave a strong odour.
Once a year remove the ventilation grill at
the base of the appliance and clean the air
channels with a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the
appliance and save electricity consumption.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR
CAUTION!
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
PF
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
A certain amount of frost will always form around the top compartment.
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 (F) situated under the
salad drawers to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided (P), which
you will find already inserted into the drain
hole.
Defrost the freezer when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of about
3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1.
Switch off the appliance.

interior thoroughly.
Switch on the appliance.
Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the
appliance for two or three hours using
this setting.
Reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
CAB
WARNING!
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. A temperature rise of the frozen
