Children and vulnerable people safety

• This appliance is not intended for use by per­sons (including children) with reduced physi­cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of

themselves into it.

• If this appliance featuring magnetic door

Switching off

To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature
regulator to the "O" position.

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:

• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower
settings to obtain the minimum coldness.

• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher
settings to obtain the maximum coldness.

A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.

However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
appliance depends on:

• room temperature

• how often the door is opened

• the quantity of food stored

• the location of the appliance.

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.

First use

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.

Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.

Daily use

Movable shelves

The walls of the re­frigerator are equip­ped with a series of
runners so that the
shelves can be posi­tioned as desired.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of
food packages of var­ious sizes, the door
shelves can be
placed at different
heights.
Gradually pull the
shelf in the direction
of the arrows until it
comes free, then re­position as required

Helpful hints and tips

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling
sound when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils or tubing. This is correct.

• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped around and you will hear a
whirring sound and a pulsating noise from
the compressor. This is correct.
