turning the adjustable feet in order to avoid vibra-
tions and noises, Fig. 2.
This is a built in design to be aligned with other fur-
niture
The climate classification can be found on the
serial plate, which is located at the left on the insi-
de of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient tempera-
ture is correct for each climate classification:

Regulation and Control
Temperature Regulator for Refrigerator:
Allows to adjust the temperature inside the refrigerator according to use and external conditions.
Pos. 1 = Minimum cold.
Pos. 6 = Maximum cold.
Pos. 0 = Motor disconnected.
Interior light:
It switches on when opening the door and switches
off when closing the appliance. It also switchess off
turning the temperature regulator to 0 position.
When changing the light bulb, first remove the protective cover «X», by firmly holding the edge and
pulling it horizontally. (see point A2, «IF SOMETHING

Quicker refrigeration.
More homogeneous temperature.
DAC (Dynamic Air Cooling system) has been
mainly designed for hot weather (ambient temperature above 25°), and also when the refrigerator
is plenty of food.
To start working, push the switch.
When DAC is switched on, the cold production is
higher, thus you should turn the temperature
regulator to an adequate position to avoid excesive cold.

Freezer Compartment
This freezer, is marked , and is suitable for freezing fresh foodstuffs and keeping
food for long periods.
Freezing of food
1... Place food on the upper grill.
2... Maintain food for at leas 24 hours in that posi-
tion.
3... The maximum quantity to be frozen within 24
hours is shown on the «Rating Plate», depen-
ding on the model.
Keeping frozen food
For optimum conservation, the temperature inside
the freezer compartment must be at least -18°C.
This temperature is adjusted automatically.
Check that the «Temperature Control» is in a
middle position. Sometimes it may be necessary
(insufficient ventilation, high roon temperature,
frequent opening and closing of the door) to
change the position of the «Temperature
Control».
If the appliance should be accidentally switched
off by a fault or power cut, take the following precautions:
B) If the freezer is not full, the cold will be lost
more quickly. If the food has not started to
thaw, then follow the instructions in «A».
C) If the food has begun to thaw, use them up
as quickly as possible, or cook them and
refreeze them.
Refrigerator Compartment:
This compartment is for storing drinks and
fresh food products.
The temperature inside is very evenly distributed. Make sure food does not touch
the back wall, since behind this surface is
where the cold is generated and food could
bee partially frozen. Also, this can impede the
circulation of cold air.
This appliance is provided with an automatic
defrosting system. Consequently you will
sometimes notice a thin layer of ice or drops of
water on the rear wall.
Keep the doors closed at all times.
Find out how long the stoppage is expected to
last.
Once normal power is restored:
A) If the freezer is full and the stoppage has been
less than «Time for temperature Rise» indicated for each model in the «Technical
Features» section, then no damage will have
been caused to the food.

Useful Hints
Do not introduce any new food during a freezing period.
Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen food.
Wrap the food up properly or place it in hermethic recipies before introducing it into the freezer.
Do not introduce any hot food into the freezer.
Food and drinks of a strong flavour may pass
this on to others and affect their flavour. Wrap
them up adequately or put them into tight closing bags.
Follow the instructions given in the cook books,
freezing books and wrapping utensiles for better conservation of food.
In some models, on the freezer inner door there
is usually an schematic drawing showing the
conservation time (in months) for the different
types of food. It will also depend on the food
quality in the moment of freezing and on the
specific instructions on packages.

Maintenance of your
Refrigerator-Freezer
Prior to undertaking any maintenance operation,
be sure to unplug the appliance.
Defrosting of the freezer
The inner walls of the freezer become gradually
covered with a layer of frost keeping in mind not to
open the door frequently and keeping the food
wrapped up in closed bags.
Whenever the thickness of ice reaches 5 mm. the
frost should be removed. Here to proceed as
follows:
1Remove all food staff and place it in the coo-
lest possible place..
2Place a bowl under the outlet to collect the
water.
3Remove the ice from the walls with a plastic
scraper. Never use any sharp metal tools,
electric ovens or similar as these may cause
serious damage to teh appliance.
4Once the ice is eliminated, cleaned and dry
the appliance.
5Connect the appliance.
