adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.
¥ It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
modify this product in any way.
¥ 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.
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 insist on genuine spare parts.
¥ 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.
¥ ManufacturersÕ 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. See defrost instructions.
¥ 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. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.
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.
Printed on recycled paper
¥ 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.
¥ 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 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.
Environment Protection
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. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from municipal authorities. The materials used on this appliance marked by the symbol are recicable.

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 for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position.
Important
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under Òrising timeÓ, the de­frosted food must be consumed quickly or cook­ed immediately and then refrozen (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.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
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.
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond the ÇOÈ (STOP) position. The appliance will start to operate.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to position ÇOÈ
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.
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.
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.
USE
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to move the thermostat knob from the normal setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember that, in this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0¡C. If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting.
Place the food to be frozen on the shelf of the freezing compartment as this is the coldest part.
