This appliance does not contain gasses
which could damage the ozone layer,
in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not
be discarded together with the urban
refuse and rubbish. The insulation foam
contains flammable gases: the appliance shall be disposed according to
the applicable regulations to obtain
from your local authorities. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the
rear near the heat exchanger. The materials used on this appliance marked

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.
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.
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.
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 high-
er 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.
9) If a water connection is foreseen.

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.
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, 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.
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.
Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the freezer.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed
at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, then reposition
as required.
Helpful hints and tips
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
