INSTALLATION
If this refrigerator featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock on the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for a child.
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. 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.
Make sure that there is nothing hindering air circulation at the back, bottom, or top of the appliance. To achieve the best performance when the appliance is set under a wall cabinet the top of the appliance should be at least 5 mm away from the base of the cabinet (Fig. 1/A). However, the appliance should ideally not be installed underneath wall cabinets (as shown in Fig. 1/B). One or more adjustable feet mounted on the base of the appliance make it possible to set it perfectly level.

USE
Operation - Temperature adjustment
Turn the thermostat knob clockwise beyond position «O» to the required setting. A medium setting is generally the most suitable. Temperature is adjusted automatically and may be increased (less cold) by turning the knob towards the lower numbers, or may be decreased (colder) by turning it towards the higher numbers. The correct position, however, must be located by taking into account that the internal temperature depends on the following factors:
ambient temperature; the number of times the door is opened; the amount of food stored; the location of the appliance. Operation is stopped by turning the control knob
until its pointer coincides with symbol «O». In this refrigerator incorporating a 2-star ( )
evaporator, the temperature in the refrigerator can be adjusted by means of the thermostat and also by means of the conveyor (Fig. 8). To get less cold slightly raise the conveyor and push it in all the way, to reduce the temperature return it to its initial position.
Fig. 8
Fresh food refrigeration
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for cooling drinks and for normal food storage. 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 . Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them. To help you use refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints:
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be well covered and can be stored on any of the shelves.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer.
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.
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & game): wrap in polythene bags and place on the top shelf, immediately underneath the evaporator.

Positioning the door shelves (Fig. 10-11)
Frozen food storage
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height. To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required (Fig. 10).
Fig. 10
D064
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can be removed by pulling it in the direction of the arrows, then refitting it in position (Fig. 11).
Fig. 11
D066
The compartment marked by the symbol is suitable for storing frozen food and, to obtain the best results, make sure the thermostat knob is set near the coldest setting (if ambient temperature is low-i.e., less than 20°C - it is necessary to adjust the conveyor in such a way as to reduce the temperature in the refrigerator compartment). With this thermostat knob setting, the temperature in the refrigerator compartment could fall below 0°C. If this occurs readjust the knob so as to increase the temperature.
Furthermore, make sure that: the frozen food to be stored has been kept at the
proper temperature in the shop; transport of frozen food from the shop to the
evaporator compartment is carried out in a brief time;
do not exceed the storage time indicated on packages by the food manufacturer.
After an idle period it is necessary to let the appliance run for at least two hours with the thermostat knob set on the coldest setting before placing any frozen food in this compartment.
If no frozen food is stored in the evaporator, it is advisable to adjust the conveyor so as to reduce the temperature in the refrigerator compartment thus reducing energy consumption and improving food refrigeration performance.
Never put fizzy drinks in the 2-star ( ) compartment as they might well burst. A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not be eaten straight out of the 2-star ( ) compartment as this might cause cold burns.
Thawing
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator or at room temperature depending on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the evaporator; in this case, though, cooking will take longer.
Making ice cubes
The refrigerator is provided with an ice cube tray. This tray should be filled with drinking water and then placed in the evaporator compartment. Do not use metal tools to remove the tray when it is stuck-frozen inside the compartment.
15
Defrosting
While in operation, the refrigerated surfaces of the evaporator become progressively covered with frost. This frost, which acts as a thermal insulator and thus prevents the cold from reaching the food, should be removed at regular intervals, otherwise, there will be a marked rise of temperature in the compartment concerned and a wastefull increase in power consumption.
T o carry out complete defrosting push the button at the centre of the thermostat knob (Fig. 12).
Fig. 12
Remove the plug from the drain hole in the water collecting tray. Place a basin under the drain hole in the tray to collect the defrost water (Fig. 13).
When defrosting is completed, operation is resumed automatically .
Remove the defrost water which has collected in the basin placed under the collecting tray. Refit the previously removed plug into the drain hole.
Defrosting should be done when there is no food in the 2-star ( ) compartment.

MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance operation, always disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
Periodical cleaning
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water and sodium bicarbonate. Clean cabinet outer surfaces with a silicone-wax spray. The condenser and compressor should be cleaned using a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This latter operation will maintain the appliance’s excellent standards of performance and save energy. To avoid water spillage it is recommended that the water drain collector (Fig. 13) is periodically cleaned.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not used, you should take the following precautions: remove the plug from the wall socket; remove all food from the appliance; defrost and clean the interior and all accessories; leave the door slightly open, thus letting air circulate and preventing the formation of mould and unpleasant smells.
Interior light bulb
The light inside the refrigerator compartment is easy to get at. All you have to do is to remove the lamp from the fitting itself. If the light does not come on when the door is opened, check that it is screwed into place properly. If it still does not light up, change the bulb.

D025
SOMETHING NOT WORKING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains power switch is on;
there is no power failure and the thermostat is set to the correct position.
Furthermore:
If the appliance seems too noisy check that the sides are not touching furniture that can transmit or amplify noise or vibration. Also, check that the piping of the refrigerant system does not vibrate.
If your appliance is still not working properly after making the above checks, contact your local dealer or the neares service centre.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you apply for it you specify the model and serial n umber of your appliance which can be found inside the appliance at the bottom on the left hand side.
