¥ The domestic refrigerators and freezers are

designed to be used specifically for the storage
of edible foodstuffs only.

¥ Best performance is obtained with ambient tem-

perature 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 chan-

nels 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

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 change
the setting of the thermostatknob. However, for a
quicker freezing operation, turn the thermostat knob
to the coldest setting; but remeber 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 in the bottom basket of
the freezing compartment as this is the coldest part.

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

If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezer
compartment. The frozen food will not be
affected if the power cut is of short duration (up
to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full,
otherwise, it is recommended that the food
should be used within a short time (a
temperature increase of the frozen food
shortens its safe storage period).
