Proper installation of the appliance is essential to
ensure the best and most efficient performance of
your appliance.
Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and,
therefore, need to be ventil ated properly. Rooms with
less than perfect ventilation are not very suited for in­stallation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be in­stalled in a room with
an opening (window or French window) that provides
the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also
important that the room should not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct
the grates that allow proper ventilation of the appli­ance. For proper ventilation of the appliance, you
must leave:

- a space of at least 1 0 cm between the top part and
any cabinets above it;

- a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the
appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is

directly exposed to sunli ght or near an oven, cook top or the

like.

Levelling

The floor should be perfectl y levelled; if not, y ou can adjust
the feet at the front of the appliance.

Earthing

Before making the electrical connection, check that the
voltage shown on the data plate, that you will find on the
bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the cris per,
corresponds to that of you r mains and that the sock et is
earthed in conformity with all current electrical regulations. If
the system is not earthed, th e manufacturer declines all li­ability for consequent damages or losses. Do not use
adapters or multiple sockets.

Check the power load

The electrical socket m ust support the maxi mum power load
of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom
left hand side of the ap pliance next to the cr isper).

Before plugging the appliance to the mains

Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours b efore
plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper per­formance.

Safety - a good habit to get into.

How to Start the Appliance

NOTICE
After the appliance has been delivered,s tand it in
the upright position and wait approximately 3 hours
before connecting it to the electrical outlet to guar­antee that it operates prorerly.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer,
clean the interior well with warm water and baking
soda.

After having plugg ed the appliance in, make sure that pilot
lamp “A” is light.
Set knob ‘B’ onto a medium position and can place food in the
fridge after only a few hours.
When the freezer has reached the optimum temperature, you
can place frozen food in the freezer.

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature
inside the appliance

1 = less cold
5 = colder

It is recommended that a medium setting be used .
To increase the amoun t of space, optimiz e arrangement
and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling
area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator
compartment.
When the appliance is operating, this panel may be
covered with frost or droplets of water depending on

whether the compressor is operating or not at a set time.

Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is
operating normally.
If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings
while the refrigerator is heavily filled and th e ambient tem­perature is high, the appliance may run continuously, re­sulting in the forma tion of frost on the back cooling area.
This will lead to an incr ease in energy consum ption.

To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a
lower setting so that the appliance defrosts auto­matically.

Storing food in the Refrigerator Compartment

Food

Storage time

Location in the Refri gerator

Fresh meat and cleaned fish
(use plastic wrap or pack in plastic bags)

2 or 3 days On any shelf

Fresh cheese 3 or 4 days On any shelf
Eggs 1 month In special egg tray on any shelf
Butter, margarine 1 week On any shelf
Cooked or precooked food (placer in air-tight contain­ers and when cool store i n refrigerator)

3 or 4 days On any shelf

Sausages, salami, sandwich meats in gen eral, fresh
pasta, custards, puddings, chocolates, cream pastries,
bread, dry pastries, red toma toes

3 or 4 days On any shelf

Bottled products, milk, drinks, yoghurt On special door shelves
Fruit and vegetable - In vegetable crisper

What Should Not be Stored in the Refrigerator

Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks.
Bananas (they will turn black).
Citrus fruits.
Potatoes and root vege tables (store in dark, dry places).

- Within the refrigerator com partment, the air circulates
naturally, with the colder air falling down because it is
heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should
be placed above the vegetable contai ner.

- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum stor­age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remai n edi­ble for any extended amount of time.

- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of mois­ture within the refrig erator, causing the formation of frost.

- Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing
the compressor to work har der and use more ener gy.

- Contrary to popular bel ief, cooked foods are no t stored
any longer than raw food.

- The refrigerator com partment is equipped with conven­ient, removable shelves, which can be adjusted for
height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even
large containers and fo odstuffs in the refri gerator.

- Be careful not to place con tainers (plastic or gl ass), food
or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of
the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food,
in-crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation
of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).

How to use the freezer compartment ...

For the preparation of food to be fr ozen, please con­sult a specialized manual.

- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be
re-frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within
24 hours) or to freeze it once again.

- When freezing fresh f oods, remember that they should
not touch other previ ously frozen or deep frozen foods.
Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top com­partment where the temperature will fall below -18°C,
which is ideal for fr eezing food properl y. Remember that
proper conservation depends on the spe ed of freezing.

- During the freezing process , avoid opening the door of
the freezer.

- Freeze only the quan tities (in kg) shown on the data
plate situated inside th e refrigerator compar tment.

- For the best conservati on and defrosting, remember to
freeze small portions; this will ensure rapi d and uniform
freezing. Mark package with a description of the con­tents and the date it was frozen.

- In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not

open the freezer door. Thi s will help maintain the tem pera-

ture inside the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for
at least 17 hours.

- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they coul d ex­plode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase in
volume when frozen).

-If the room temperature remains below 14°C for an e x­tended period of time the freezer will not reach the tem­peratures required for storage, and storage life will be
shorter. In this case, frozen foodstuffs should be used within a
relatively short period of time.
In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec­ommended that you divide food into small portions so that
they freeze quickly an d uniformly. The pack ages should be
clearly marked with the content and the date th ey were
frozen.
If it is required to store a large quantity of foodstu ff, you may
easily take out central drawer, and place th e food directly
onto the evaporator plate. Make sure that, after having in­serted the load, the door closes correctly.
