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

¥ ce 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.

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.
Installation
¥ 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.
¥ 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.
¥ 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.

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).
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.
Warning
After removing food from the freezer, wait 1 or 2
minutes before opening the freezer door again or it
may be difficult to open. This is quite normal and
due to air pressure inside the freezer compartment.
