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.
First use
A medium setting is generally the
most suitable.
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.
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.
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 brandnew product, then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these will damage the
finish.

Daily use
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.
Important! In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment temperature
might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset
the temperature regulator to a warmer
setting.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top
compartment.
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.
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.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
Important! 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 re-frozen
(after cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature,
Important!
Do not move the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer to ensure correct air
circulation
Positioning the door
shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be placed
at different heights.
