damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant cir-

cuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be

Operation

discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. The
insulation foam contains flammable gases: the appliance
shall be disposed according to the applicable regulations
to obtain from your local authorities. Avoid damaging the
cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchang­er. The materials used on this appliance marked by the

symbol

are recyclable.

Switching on

Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium
setting.

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.

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.

Daily use

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food
and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the
medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the temper­ature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the max­imum coldness.

Important! In this condition, the refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset
the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.

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.

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

Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top compartment.

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 at least 2 hours on the higher settings.

Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure, if the power has been off
for longer than the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately
and then re-frozen (after cooling).

4

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room tem­perature, depending on the time available for this opera­tion.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

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.

Removal of freezing baskets from the freezer

The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent their
accidental removal or falling out. At the time of its removal
from the freezer, pull the basket towards yourself and,
upon reaching the end point, remove the basket by tilting
its front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front of the
basket to insert it into the freezer. Once you are over the
end points, push the baskets back in their position.

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.

• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking
noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenom­enon. This is correct.

• When the compressor switches on or switches off, you
will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regulator.
This is correct.

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer
than absolutely necessary.

5

• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature
Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance
is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens,
set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings
to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in elec­tricity consumption.

Hints for 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 around it

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the
glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the
most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered
and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned
and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and 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.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must
not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here
are some important hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in
24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to
be frozen should be added during this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,
foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly
and completely frozen and to make it possible subse­quently to thaw only the quantity required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and
make sure that the packages are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which
is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature
of the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt
reduces the storage life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from
the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin
to be freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage
time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you
should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were
adequately stored by the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the
foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer
than absolutely necessary.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot
be refrozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food
manufacturer.

Care and cleaning

Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore

only be carried out by authorized technicians.

6

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water
and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure
they are clean and free from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/
or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed
cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as
this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at
the back of the appliance with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
This operation will improve the performance of the ap­pliance and save electricity consumption.

Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chem-

icals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this ap­pliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water
with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains
supply.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of
the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com­pressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water
drains out through a trough into a special container at the
back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain
hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel
to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the
food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you
will find already inserted into the drain hole.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer
shelves and around the top compartment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness
of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:

• pull out the plug from the wall socket or switch off the
appliance

• remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place

• remove the freezer drawers

• put insulating material around the drawers, e.g. blan­kets or newspapers.

Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with hot
water (not boiling) inside the freezer.

• Loosen the drainage channel from its resting position,
push it in according to the illustration and place it in
the bottom freezer drawer where water can collect

• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw. Use
a wood or a plastic scraper

• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the cabinet
dry, then put the drainage channel back in place.

• switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen foodstuff.

It is recommended to operate the appliance at the highest
position of the thermostatic control for some hours so that
it can reach the sufficient storing temperature as soon as
possible.

Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do not use
a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other than those recommended by
the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage
life.

gorigène susceptible de nuire à la couche d'ozone. L'ap­pareil ne doit pas être mis au rebut avec les ordures mé­nagères et les déchets urbains. La mousse isolante con­tient des gaz inflammables : l'appareil doit être mis au
rebut conformément aux règlements applicables (infor­mez-vous auprès des services locaux compétents). Veil­lez à ne pas détériorer les circuits frigorifiques, notam­ment au dos, à proximité de l'évaporateur. Les matériaux

utilisés dans cet appareil identifiés par le symbole
sont recyclables.

Mise en fonctionnement

Branchez l'appareil sur une prise murale.
Tournez le bouton du thermostat dans le sens des aiguil­les d'une montre sur une position moyenne.

Mise à l'arrêt

Pour mettre à l'arrêt l'appareil, tournez le bouton du ther­mostat sur la position "0".

Réglage de la température

La température est réglée automatiquement.
Pour faire fonctionner l'appareil, procédez comme suit :

• tournez le bouton du thermostat vers le bas pour ob­tenir un réglage de froid minimum.

• tournez le bouton du thermostat vers le haut pour ob­tenir un réglage de froid maximum.

Une position moyenne est la plus indiquée.

Première utilisation

Nettoyage intérieur

Avant d'utiliser l'appareil pour la première fois, nettoyez
l'intérieur et tous les accessoires internes avec de l'eau
tiède savonneuse pour supprimer l'odeur caractéristique
du "neuf" puis séchez soigneusement.

Toutefois, le réglage doit être choisi en tenant compte du
fait que la température à l'intérieur de l'appareil dépend
de plusieurs facteurs :

• la température ambiante

• la fréquence d'ouverture de la porte

• la quantité de denrées stockées

• l'emplacement de l'appareil.
Important Si le thermostat est réglé sur la position de

froid maximum, lorsque la température ambiante est
élevée et que l'appareil est plein, il est possible que le
compresseur fonctionne en régime continu. Dans ce cas,
il y a un risque de formation excessive de givre sur la
paroi postérieure à l'intérieur de l'appareil. Pour éviter cet
inconvénient, placez le thermostat sur une température
plus élevée de façon à permettre un dégivrage
automatique et, par conséquent, des économies de
courant.

Important N'utilisez pas de produits abrasifs, poudre à
récurer, éponge métallique pour ne pas abîmer la finition.

Utilisation quotidienne

Congélation d'aliments frais

Le compartiment congélateur est idéal pour congeler des
denrées fraîches et conserver les aliments surgelés ou
congelés pendant longtemps.
Pour congeler les denrées fraîches, il n'est pas nécessaire
de modifier le réglage moyen.
Toutefois, pour une congélation plus rapide, tournez le
bouton du thermostat vers le haut pour obtenir un réglage
de froid maximum.

Important Dans ce cas, la température du compartiment
réfrigérateur peut chuter au-dessous de 0°C. Si cela se
produit, repositionnez le bouton du thermostat sur un
réglage plus chaud.

Placez les denrées fraîches à congeler dans le comparti­ment supérieur.

Conservation des aliments congelés

À la mise en service ou après un arrêt prolongé, placez le
thermostat sur la position Max pendant 2 heures environ,
avant d'introduire les produits dans le compartiment.

Important En cas de dégivrage accidentel, dû par exemple
à une panne de courant, si la panne doit se prolonger plus
longtemps qu'il n'est indiqué à la rubrique "temps
d'augmentation" dans la section Caractéristiques
techniques, consommez les aliments décongelés le plus
rapidement possible ou recongelez-les après les avoir
cuits (une fois refroidis).

La décongélation

Les aliments surgelés ou congelés peuvent être décon­gelés dans le compartiment réfrigérateur ou à température
ambiante, avant d'être utilisés, en fonction du temps dis­ponible pour cette opération.
Les petites pièces peuvent même être cuites sans décon­gélation préalable : dans ce cas, la cuisson est plus lon­gue.

Clayettes amovibles

Les parois du réfrigérateur
sont équipées d'une série
de glissières pour que les
clayettes puissent être
placées en fonction des
besoins.

Emplacement des balconnets de la porte

En fonction de la taille des
paquets d'aliments con­servés, les balconnets de
la porte peuvent être posi­tionnés à différentes hau­teurs.

Tirez progressivement le
balconnet dans le sens
des flèches pour le déga­ger, puis repositionnez-le
selon les besoins.

Retrait des paniers de congélation du congélateur

Les paniers de congélation sont équipés d'un arrêt afin
d'empêcher leur retrait accidentel ou chute. Pour retirer
le panier du congélateur, tirez-le vers vous et en atteignant
l'arrêt, retirez-le en inclinant la partie avant vers le haut.
Pour le remettre, relevez légèrement l'avant du panier et
insérez-le dans le congélateur. Une fois que vous avez
dépassé les butées d'arrêt, poussez les paniers dans la
bonne position.
