new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.

If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock
(latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before you discard the old
appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for a child.

This must be done before the appliance is built intoThese warnings are provided in the interest of
safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

General Safety

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
modify this product in any way.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a special cord or assembly availa­ble from the manufacturer or its service agent.

• Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried
out, be sure to switch off and unplug the appliance.

• This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken
when moving it.

• Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed
straight from the appliance.

• Take utmost care when handling your
appliance so as not to cause any damages to
the cooling unit with consequent possible
fluid leakages.

• The appliance must not be located close to
radiators or gas cookers.

• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to
direct sunlight.

• There must be adequate ventilation round the
back of the appliance and any damage to the
refrigerant circuit must be avoided.

• For freezers only (except built-in models): an
ideal location is the cellar or basement.

• Do not use other electrical appliances (such
as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating
appliances, unless they are approved for this
purpose by the manufacturer.

Service/Repair

• Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified

electrician or competent person

• This product should be serviced by an authorized
Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts
should be used.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local
Service Centre, and always

• This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by authorized
technicians.

Use

• The domestic refrigerators and freezers are
designed to be used specifically for the storage
of edible foodstuffs only.

• Best performance is obtained with ambient
temperature between +18°C and +43°C (class T);
+18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C
(class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN). The class
of your appliance is shown on its rating plate.

Warning: when the ambient temperature is not
included within the range indicated for the class
of this appliance, the following instructions must
be observed: when the ambient temperature
drops below the minimum level, the storage
temperature in the freezer compartment cannot
be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the
food stored as soon as possible.

• Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has
been thawed out.

• Manufacturers’storage recommendations should be
strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

• The inner lining of the appliance consists of
channels through which the refrigerant passes. If
these should be punctured this would damage the
appliance beyond repair and cause food loss. DO
NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off
frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using the
scraper provided. Under no circumstances should
solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice should be
allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance.

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.

Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.

• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer as it creates pressure on the container,
which may cause it to explode, resulting in
damage to the appliance.

Installation

• During normal operation, the condenser and
compressor at the back of the appliance heat up
considerably. For safety reasons, minimum
ventilation must be as shown in the relevant
Figure.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of
obstruction.

• If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is
possible that the oil contained in the compressor
flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to
wait at least two hours before connecting the
appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the
compressor.

• There are working parts in this product which
heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate
ventilation as a failure to do this will result in
component failure and possible food loss. See
installation instructions.

• Parts which heat up should not be exposed.
Wherever possible the back of the product should
be against a wall.

• If the appliance has been transported
horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in
the compressor ílows in the refrigerant circuit. It

is advisable to wait at least two hours before
connecting the appliance to allow tl¦e oil to flow
back in the compressor.

knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.
The appliance will start to operate. To stop
operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «O»

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward
lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob
towards higher settings.

However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:

• room temperature;

• how often the door is opened;

• the quantity of food stored;

• location of appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

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 round it.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.

D338

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.

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.
