clockwise to a medium setting.
3.2 Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the
temperature regulator to the "O"
position.
ENGLISH 5

3.3 Temperature regulation
The temperature is regulated
automatically.
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.
1. Turn the Temperature regulator
toward lower settings to obtain the
minimum coldness.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator
toward higher settings to obtain the
maximum coldness.
CAUTION!
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.
4. DAILY USE
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
4.1 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.
CAUTION!
In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer
setting.
4.2 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.
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).
4.3 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.

4.4 Positioning the door
shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the
direction of the arrows until it comes
free.
2. Reposition as required.
This model is equipped with a
variable storage box which can be
moved sideways.
4.5 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are
equipped with a series of runners so that
the shelves can be positioned as desired.
Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
to ensure correct air
circulation.
5. HINTS AND TIPS
5.1 Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound
from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from
the compressor when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic
dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the
temperature regulator when the
compressor switches on or off.
5.2 Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• 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.
5.3 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
ENGLISH 7

• 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
5.4 Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and
place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean
thoroughly and place in a special
drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions
and garlic must not be kept in the
refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special
airtight container or wrap in an
aluminium foil or a polythene bag to
exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on
the door bottle shelf, or (if available)
on the bottle rack.
5.5 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 hours is shown on
the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours
no further food to be frozen should
be added during this period;
• freeze only 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.
5.6 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.
6. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!

time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap
to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.
6.3 Periodic cleaning
CAUTION!
Do not pull, move or
damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the cabinet.
CAUTION!

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser
and the compressor at the back of
the appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
6.4 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.
6.5 Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION!
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.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set a lower
temperature, in order to
build up sufficient chill
reserve for the interruption
in operation.
ENGLISH 9

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.
1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out

goods.
3. Leave the door open.
In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water in
the freezer compartment. In addition,
remove pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
After three hours reload the previously
removed food into the freezer
compartment.

3. USO DELL'APPARECCHIATURA
3.1 Accensione
1. Inserire la spina nella presa a muro.
2. Impostare il regolatore di
temperatura su un livello medio,
ruotandolo in senso orario.
3.2 Spegnimento
Per spegnere l’apparecchiatura, ruotare il
regolatore di temperatura in posizione
"O".
3.3 Regolazione della
temperatura
La temperatura viene regolata
automaticamente.
In condizioni normali, si
consiglia di utilizzare una
regolazione media.
Tuttavia, è importante
ricordare che la temperatura
all'interno
dell'apparecchiatura
dipende dai seguenti fattori:
• temperatura ambiente,
• frequenza di apertura
della porta,
• quantità di alimenti
conservati,
• posizione
dell'apparecchiatura.
1. Impostare il regolatore di
temperatura su un livello basso per
ottenere un raffreddamento minimo.
2. Ruotare il regolatore di temperatura
verso l'impostazione massima per
aumentare l'intensità del
raffreddamento.
ATTENZIONE!
Se la temperatura ambiente
è elevata o l'apparecchiatura
è a pieno carico,
l'impostazione alla
temperatura minima può
causare l'attivazione
ininterrotta del compressore
e la formazione di brina sulla
parete posteriore. In questo
caso, impostare una
temperatura più elevata per
consentire lo sbrinamento
automatico e ridurre così il
consumo di energia.

4. UTILIZZO QUOTIDIANO
AVVERTENZA!
Fare riferimento ai capitoli
sulla sicurezza.
4.1 Congelamento di alimenti
freschi
Lo scomparto congelatore è adatto al
congelamento di alimenti freschi e alla
conservazione a lungo termine di
alimenti congelati e surgelati.
Per congelare i cibi freschi è possibile
mantenere la regolazione media.
Tuttavia, per ottenere un congelamento
più rapido, è possibile impostare il
regolatore di temperatura a un livello più
alto per aumentare l'intensità di
raffreddamento.
ATTENZIONE!
In questa condizione la
temperatura dello
scomparto del frigorifero
potrebbe scendere al di
sotto di 0°C. Qualora ciò
accadesse, è necessario
reimpostare la temperatura
a un livello più alto.
4.2 Conservazione dei
surgelati
Al primo avvio o dopo un periodo di non
utilizzo, lasciare in funzione
l'apparecchiatura per almeno 2 ore con
una regolazione alta prima di introdurre
gli alimenti.
Se si verifica un'interruzione
della corrente elettrica di
durata superiore al "tempo
di risalita" indicato nella
tabella dei dati tecnici, il
cibo scongelato deve essere
consumato rapidamente o
cucinato immediatamente e
quindi ricongelato (dopo il
raffreddamento).
4.3 Scongelamento
Prima dell'utilizzo, i cibi surgelati o
congelati possono essere scongelati nel
vano frigorifero o, per un processo più
veloce, a temperatura ambiente.
Gli alimenti divisi in piccole porzioni
possono essere cucinati direttamente,
senza essere prima scongelati: in questo
caso, tuttavia, la cottura durerà più a
lungo.
4.4 Posizionamento dei ripiani
della porta
Per facilitare l'introduzione di alimenti di
diverse dimensioni, i ripiani della porta
possono essere posizionati ad altezze
differenti.
1. Tirare gradualmente il ripiano nella
direzione indicata dalle frecce fino a
sbloccarlo.
2. Riposizionare secondo necessità.
Questo modello è dotato di un
contenitore a dimensione variabile
per la conservazione che può essere
spostato lateralmente.
