Operation

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

Movable shelves

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.

Positioning the door shelves

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

4

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.
