Use and Control

Before Use

Wait two hours before connecting the
appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the
compressor.

¥ 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.

Refrigerator compartment

Starting the appliance

¥ Insert the plug into the wall socket and turn the

thermostat knob clockwise beyond position ÇOÈ
(OFF).

¥ Turn the thermostat control to the required setting.

Temperature Control

¥ The thermostat control situated inside the fridge

compartment regulates the temperature of the
appliance.

¥ It allows you to adjust the temperature inside the

refrigerator according to use and external
conditions.
¥

Setting ã1Ò = hightest temperature, warmest
setting

¥ Setting ã6Ò = lowest temperature, coldest

setting.

¥ Setting ã0Ò = Off

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Internal Parts

Storage shelves

¥ The shelves can be removed for cleaning.

¥ To permit storage of food packages of various

sizes, the shelves can be placed at different
heights.

¥ To remove the internal shelf pull forward until it can

be tipped up or down and removed.

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.

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 bins.

¥ 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

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.

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

¥ 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.
