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 brand­new product, then dry thoroughly.
Daily use
Use of the fridge compartment
The temperature of this compartment may be regulated between +2°C and +8°C. During normal functioning the indicator shows the temperature inside the fridge.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
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! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
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 Temperature regulator must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
8
Important!
Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation
Vegetable Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables. Some models have a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different positions to allow for the subdivision best suited to personal needs. All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.
Bottle rack
Place the bottles (with the opening facing front) in the pre-positioned shelf.
Important! If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only closed bottles.
This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order to store previously opened bottles. To obtain this result, pull the shelf up so it can rotate upwards and be placed on the next higher level.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.
Helpful hints and tips
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 not a fault with the appliance and is a completely normal operating sound.
• 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.
9
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. This is not a fault with the appliance and is a completely normal operating sound.
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.
Care and Cleaning
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 authorised technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
10
Important! 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.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
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
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 in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
• remove all food
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.

What to do if…
During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.
Important! The appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being no current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit.
Important! The operation of the appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor and circulating sound). This not means a trouble, but a normal operation.

Installation
Read the "Safety Information" carefully for your safety and correct operation of the appliance before installing the appliance.
Location
To ensure best performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 40 mm . Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall units. If the cabinet is placed in a corner and the side with the hinges facing the wall, the distance between the wall and the cabinet must be at least 10 mm to allow the door to open enough so that the equipment can be removed.
50mm
The ventilation space can be:
• directly above the appliance
• behind and above the top cupboard. In this case, the space behind the top cupboard must be at least 50 mm deep.
15
Levelling
When placing the appliance ensure that it stands level. This can be achieved by two adjustable feet at the bottom in front.
Positioning
Warning! If you are discarding an
old appliance that has a lock or catch on the door, you must ensure that it is made unusable to prevent young children being trapped inside.
