TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the serial number plate correspond
to your domestic power supply. Voltage can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage. For operation with
different voltages, a suitably sized auto-transformer must be used.
The technical data is indicated in the rating plate on the left side inside the appliance.
GB

Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP)
position.
The appliance will start to operate.
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.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob
to position «O».
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.
Attention
With room temperature lower than +14°C switch
(A) (see Fig. 10) should be depressed (the built-in
light will come on).
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food,
and for freezing fresh food. Do not exceed the
storage times shown by the manufacturer on the
commercially frozen food packets.
Under normal circumstances, to freeze fresh
foods it is not necessary to change the setting of
the thermostat knob with respect to the normal
running position. Depress the ambient switch at
least 3 hours before loading food to be frozen.
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn
the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but
remember that, in this condition, the
refrigerating compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset thermostat
knob to a warmer setting.
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
Place the food to be frozen in the top basket of
the freezing compartment as this is the coldest
part.
The maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hrs is shown on the rating plate.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned foodstuffs.
Prepare the fresh 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 at the time.
Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene
and make sure that the packages are airtight.
It is advisable to show on the single food packet
or on the write-on produce strips to be found on
the front part of the storage baskets the
freezing-in date to enable you to keep date of
the storage time.
On the rear of the door you will find a list of
foods followed by a number. These numbers
indicate the maximum period of time for which
the food in question may be conserved (in
months).
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter.

Important
Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in
the freezing compartment as they may burst.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezing compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt.
Remember that, once thawed, frozen food deterio-
rates rapidly.
Storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, we strongly recommend that you make
sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were
adequately stored by the retailer and, furthermore,
be sure that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the foodstore to the consumer in the shortest
possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen
food could shorten its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage
period indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezing
compartment.
The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut
is of short duration (a temperature increase of the
frozen food could shorten its safe storage period),
otherwise, it is recommended that the food should
be used within a very short time.
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.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating liquide 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.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and
place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer(s).
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 trave 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
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays
for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays
with water, then put them in the freezer
compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves
can lie over the rear ones.

Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various
sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes off, then reposition as

Defrosting
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.
The freezer compartment, however, will become pro-
gressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the in-
ner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out
and it is advisable to carry out this operation when
the appliance is empty.
To carry out complete defrosting of the freezer com-
partment proceed as follows:
Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
Pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the
thermostat knob to the a«O» setting.
Leave the door open.
Introduce the plastic scraper in the appropriate seat-
ing at the bottom centre, as shown in Fig. 15, place
underneath a basin to collect the defrost water.
When defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly;
keep the scraper for future use;
replace the plug in the socket and, after letting the
appliance run for at least half an hour, replace the
previously removed food into the compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life. 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.

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Internal clearing
Never use metal objects for clearing your appliance
as it may get damaged.
When performing a complete defrosting, wash the
internal surfaces of the freezer with lukewarm
water and bicarbonate; rinse and then accurately
dry.
External clearing
Wash the outer body with lukewarm water and
soap. Periodically use a clearing polish to keep the
outer body shining. Dust the condenser located
behind the freezer with a soft brush or a vacuum
cleaner. An excessive accumulation of dust might
compromise the freezer’s efficiency.
Extended periods of non-operation
Whenever the freezer is not to be used for an
extended period of time, disconnect it from the wall
socket and empty and clean the freezer.
Remember to leave the door open for the entire
period of time in which the freezer is not to be
used.
Interior light
The light inside the refrigerator compartment is
easy to get at through the opening in the light
holder. If the light does not go on when the door
is open, check that it is screwed into place
properly. If it still does not light up, change the
bulb.
The rating is shown on the light bulb cover.
MAINTENANCE GB
DEFECTIVE OPERATION GB
Before calling your local dealer for servicing
assistance, check the following points to see if
you may not resolve the problem yourself:
Make sure that the freezer is plugged into the
wall socket correctly, and that electrical current
arrives to the freezer without interruption.
Control the thermostat setting.
In the event that the freezer makes excessive
noise or vibration, make sure that it is not in
direct contact with the wall or adjacent furniture.
If defective operation continues after these
controls, call your local Service Network and
provide all the data listed on the rating plate:
model, serial number, etc.
