KNOW YOUR FROST FREE APPLIANCE
The main advantage of your refrigerator and low temperature compartment with fan circulation is the total absence of frost and ice forming on the compartments walls, thanks to the process described below. The cold air is produced by an evaporator and is circulated by means of a fan into the two compartments. The air, having been circulated, is again passed to the evapo­rator. This keeps the humidity low. In this way, there will be no frost formation on the compartment walls, as in a traditional ap­pliance, and defrosting is no more needed.
The “ventilated cold” system ensures a better storage of foods
maintaining their original condition for a longer period of time.

INSTALLATION
(Fig. 2)
Please check your appliance and ensure that it is undamaged; any transport damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours of receipt The appliance should not be installed close to heat sources such as cookers, central heating, boilers, direct sunlight, etc. If the appliance is to be installed under a kitchen furniture, allow an extra space of 5 cm approx. above the ap­pliance, and 1 cm approx. at each side. After installation of the appliance, level the screw (A) (Fig. 3) of the rollers. Clean the interior with a sponge dampened in a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Clean the exterior with a sponge dampened in a solution of lukewarm water and dry with a soft cloth, Do not use abrasives, detergents or harsh cleansers. Mount the internal accessories (Fig. 1).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND
OPERATION
This appliance conforms to EEC directive 87/308 on ra­diointerference.
Leave the appliance to stand for one hour before connecting it to the electricity supply. Please check that the voltage on the rating plate (Fig. 4) corresponds to the voltage in your home (220/240 V).
The earthing of this appliance is compulsory by law. The Manufacturer will accept no liability for damage to persons or objects arising from the non-observance of this requirement. If the plug and the wall socket do not comply, have the socket replaced by a qualified electrician.
He should also check that the section of the socket wires can withstand the power absorbed by the appliance. The use of the adapters, multiple sockets and extension cords is not advisable.
If absolutely necessary, use simple or multiple adapters and ex­tension cords in compliance with local safety regulations, paying attention not to exceed the maximum amperage, which
is marked on the simple adaptors and on extension cords and that of the total power marked on the multiple adapters. Connect the appliance to the supply by means of the plug; the Interior light switches on when the refrigerator door is ope­ned. Some hours are necessary to attain the correct storage tempe­rature in the appliance.
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURES
To modify the temperature of the refrigerator or of the low temperature compartment, use the adjustment listed in the ta­ble page 8.
- Adjust the refrigerator thermostat control.
- Wait 24 hours approx. prior to re-adjust it.
- If required, adjust the thermostat control of the low tempe­rature compartment.
USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
(Fig. 5)
We recommend that you wrap all items stored in the refrigera­tor compartment in ‘cling films, aluminium foil or keep them in a covered container. This prevents foods from losing their fre­shness and stop strong smells and flavours being transferred from one food to another. Some fruits with particularly thick rind or skin, can be stored without wrapping. Different foods are best stored in the positions indicated he­reafter: Meat, fish: store in the appropriate drawer. Eggs, cheese, dairy produces: use the appropriate compart­ments in the Inner door liner. Butter: store in the compartment In the inner door liner. Fruits and vegetables: store on the inner door liner racks. Canned foods: once the can has been opened, transfer unused food into a non-metallic container. Important: Store all foods so as to permit free circulation of air. Allow cooked food to cool before storing in the refrigerator compartment. Store liquids in covered containers. You may adjusts the shel-
ves in height dependent on your needs. Adjusting the shelves
The shelves may be adjusted In height dependent on your needs.
To remove the shelves (Fig. 6)
1. Pull out to the stop
2. Lift up at back.
3. Pull out completely. To replace the shelves, proceed in the reverse sequence.
Removing the meat drawer (Fig. 7) To remove the meat drawer:
1. Slide the meat drawer out to the stop.
2. Lift up at front.
3. Slide the drawer the rest of the way out.
4. Replace in reverse order.
To remove the cover (Fig. 7)
1, Remove the meat drawer as previously described.
2. Push the cover backwards and lift it at both sides.

Removing the crisper and crisper cover (Fig. 8) To remove the crispers
I. Slide crisper straight out to the stop, lift front, then slide the
rest of the way out.
2. Replace In reverse order,
To remove the cover
I. Push upwards the glass section, then slide outwards.
2. Lift the front section of the cover rim and remove It. To reposrtron the crispers and the cover, proceed in the reverse sequence.
Adjusting the rails of the crisper cover (Fig. 9) As there are crispers of different dimensions, the cover is pro­vided with a centre rail, which can be adjusted depending on the dimensions of the cnspers. It is possible to adjust the centre rail with the cover inside the refrigerator, removing the crispers and the cover panel.
To remove the centre rail
1. Push the section to be fitted on the cover upwards, then re­move it.
2. Pull the front section of the rail.
3. Remove the rear section of the rail from the opening in the cover. To reposition the centre rail
I, Fit the rear section of the rail (with the hole) In the opening of the cover.
2. Lower the front section of the rail in the opening.
3. Check that the rear section of the rail is correctly positioned under the cover rim.
USE OF THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT (Fig. 5)
Your low compartment is for the freezing-in of fresh and cooked food and for the long term storage of deep frozen foods. It also allows the production of ice cubes.
Storing fresh food For a successful freezing use a wrapping that is air, moisture and water proof; this to avoid transfer of odour and taste throughout the refrigerator and a better storage of frozen
food.
We recommend the use of plastic containers with tight fitting lids, aluminium trays, aluminium foils, non permeable plastic wraps and plastic-coated paper.
Sealing When sealing the food in bags, squeeze out the air (liquids need a headspace to allow for expansion). Twist the top and fasten the tie securely. Put the label inside transparent bags; use self-adhesive label on outside of opaque ones.
Storing fruits Select ripe, blemish-free fruits. Wash, peel, trim, pit and slice as needed. Pack in rigid containers or other recommended material. Leave a head space to allow liquids to expand during freezing.
Storing vegetables For best results freeze fresh picked up vegetables.
Wash in cold water, sort and cut into appropriate sizes.
Blanch and pack in recommended container and freeze. Do not freeze lettuce, celery, carrot sticks, potatoes or fresh tomatoes. All will become limp or mushy. Tomatoes will colla­pse when thawed.
Storing meats Flat cuts or patties should be wrapped individually or in layers separated by a double thickness of freezer wrap.
Storing cooked food Prepare cooked food as you would for the table: shorten the cooking time 10 to 15 minutes to allow for additional cooking during reheating. Omit seasonings and part of the liquid. Plan to add them at reheating time. Cool as rapidly as possible and freeze at once. Liquid or semi-liquid dishes may be frozen in recommended containers with a head-space. Casseroles and other more solid foods may be frozen in the baking container.
Storing baked food (pastry and bread)
Wrap baked breads in recommended material. Thaw in wrapping. Unbaked yeast breads can be frozen after the first rising. Punch down, wrap and freeze. Bake cookies as usual. Cool and freeze on trays, then pack in recommended freezer bags or cartons. Unbaked cookies may be dropped, molded or rolled and frozen on cookie trays.
