OPERATION
5
Switching on
1. Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2. 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 regulated automatically.
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.
FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
the interior and all internal accessories
should be washed with lukewarm water
and some neutral soap to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product, then
dried thoroughly.
1. Turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
CAUTION! 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.
CAUTION! Do not use
detergents or abrasive powders,
as these will damage the finish.
DAILY USE
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
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.
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.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
1.
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction
of the arrows until it comes free.
2.
Reposition as required.
This model is equipped with a variable
storage box which can be moved
sideways.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front halfshelves (A) can be placed under the rear
ones. (B)
Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer to
ensure correct air circulation.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
HINTS AND TIPS
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from
coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the
compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a
natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches
on or off.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
7
• 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.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should be
stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if
equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the
rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours no
further food to be frozen should be
added during this period;
• freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• 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;
• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life
of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer
compartment, can possibly cause the
skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the foodstore to the
freezer in the shortest possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary;
• once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly
and cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.

chapters.
General warnings
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 authorized technicians.
The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.
Periodic cleaning
CAUTION! Do not pull, move or
damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the cabinet.
CAUTION! Take care of not to
damage the cooling system.
CAUTION! When moving the
cabinet, lift it by the front edge
to avoid scratching the floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean and
free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and
the compressor at the back of the
appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
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.
Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION! Never use sharp
metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you
could damage it. Do not use a
mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than
those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature
rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set a lower
temperature, in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve for the
interruption in operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

réfrigération doivent être effectués par
un professionnel qualifié.
• Examinez régulièrement l'écoulement de
l'appareil et si nécessaire, nettoyez-le. Si
l'orifice est bouché, l'eau provenant du
dégivrage s'écoulera en bas de
l'appareil.

Mise au rebut
AVERTISSEMENT! Risque de
blessure ou d'asphyxie.
• Débranchez l'appareil de l'alimentation
électrique.
• Coupez le câble d'alimentation et
mettez-le au rebut.
• Retirez la porte pour empêcher les
enfants et les animaux de s'enfermer
dans l'appareil.
• Le circuit frigorifique et les matériaux
d'isolation de cet appareil préservent la
couche d'ozone.
FONCTIONNEMENT
Mise en marche
1. Insérez la fiche dans la prise murale.
2. Tournez le thermostat vers la droite sur
une position médiane.
Mise hors tension
Pour éteindre l'appareil, tournez le
thermostat sur la position « O ».
Réglage de la température
La température est régulée
automatiquement.
Un réglage intermédiaire est
généralement le plus indiqué.
Toutefois, on obtiendra le
réglage exact en tenant compte
du fait que la température à
l'intérieur de l'appareil dépend
de plusieurs facteurs :
• la température ambiante,
• la fréquence d'ouverture de
la porte,
• la quantité d'aliments
stockés,
• l'emplacement de l'appareil.
• La mousse isolante contient un gaz
inflammable. Contactez votre service
municipal pour obtenir des informations
sur la marche à suivre pour mettre
l'appareil au rebut.
• N'endommagez pas la partie du circuit
de réfrigération située à proximité du
condenseur thermique.
1. Tournez le thermostat sur la position
minimale pour obtenir moins de froid.
2. Tournez le thermostat sur la position
maximale pour obtenir plus de froid.
ATTENTION! Si la température
ambiante est élevée ou
l'appareil très rempli et si le
thermostat est réglé sur la
température la plus basse, il est
possible que le compresseur
fonctionne en régime continu,
d'où un risque de formation de
givre sur la paroi arrière. Pour
éviter cet inconvénient, modifiez
la position du thermostat pour
obtenir moins de froid, de façon
à permettre un dégivrage
automatique et, par
conséquent, des économies
d'énergie.
PREMIÈRE UTILISATION
Nettoyage de l'intérieur
Avant d'utiliser l'appareil pour la première
fois, nettoyez l'intérieur et tous les
accessoires avec de l'eau tiède savonneuse
(pour supprimer toute odeur de neuf), puis
séchez-les soigneusement.
