OPERATION
Refrigerator/Freezer
Starting-up and Temperature Regulation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, to be found on the upper right side of the
inner liner, clockwise, beyond the «O» position, to
start the appliance.
T emperature adjustment is obtained by turning the
thermostat knob to the required setting. A medium
setting is generally the most suitable.
However, the thermostat knob setting should be
adjusted depending on the temperature required
inside the appliance. This, in turn, depends on a
number of factors such as the ambient temperature,
the number of times the door is opened, the
quantity of food stored and the location of the
appliance.
Turn the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to
obtain a lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a
higher temperature is required.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment ( ) is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food, and
for freezing fresh food. Do not exceed the storage
times shown by the manufacturer on the
commercially frozen food packets.
Under normal circumstances, to freeze fresh foods
it is not necessary to change the setting of the
thermostat knob with respect to the normal running
position.
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but
remember that, in this condition, the refrigerating
compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If
this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer
setting.
To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
Place the food to be frozen in the top basket of the
freezing compartment as this is the coldest part.
The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen
in 24 hrs is shown on the rating plate.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned foodstuffs.
Prepare the fresh 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 at the time.
Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and
make sure that the packages are airtight.
on the write-on produce strips to be found on the
front part of the storage baskets the freezing-in
date to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.
On the rear of the door you will find a list of foods
followed by a number. These numbers indicate the
maximum period of time for which the food in
question may be conserved (in months).
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in
the freezing compartment as they may burst.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezing compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt.
Remember that, once thawed, frozen food
deteriorates rapidly.
Storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
we strongly recommend that you make sure that
the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure
that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from
the foodstore to the consumer in the shortest
possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen
food could shorten its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period
indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezing
compartment.
The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut
is of short duration (a temperature increase of the
frozen food could shorten its safe storage period),
otherwise, it is recommended that the food should
be used within a very short time.
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.
It is advisable to show on the single food packet or

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 .
T o help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in polythene
bags and place on top of the salad crisper and, for
safety, only store in this way for one or two days at
the most.
The freezer compartment, however, will become
progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch
off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried
out and it is advisable to carry out this operation
when the appliance is empty.
To carry out complete defrosting of the freezer
compartment ( ) proceed as follows:
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned
and placed in the bottom salad crisper.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can
lie over the rear ones.
Movable wire shelves
The walls of the
refrigerator are
equipped with a
series of runners
so that the
shelves can be
positioned as
desired.
D040
Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
Pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the
thermostat knob to the «O» setting.
Leave the door open.
Introduce the
plastic scraper in
the appropriate
seating at the
bottom centre, as
shown in Figure,
place underneath
a basin to collect
the defrost water.
D068
When defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly.
Keep the scraper for future use.
Replace the plug in the socket and, after letting the
appliance run for at least half an hour, replace the
previously removed food into the compartment.
Defrosting
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 on the
back of the
appliance where it
evaporates.

Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from
the evaporator as you could damage it.
