bish. 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 ap-
pliance 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 set-
tings 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).

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.
Helpful hints and tips
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
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.
Care and cleaning
Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying
out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cool-
ing unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm wa-
ter and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to en-
sure 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 chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the out-
• 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.
er 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.
5
Page 6
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.
