From +16℃to +43℃
The refrigerator must not be exposed to rain.
Sufficient air must be allowed to circulate in the lower rear section of the appliance, as poor
air circulation can affect performance.
Built-in appliances should be positioned away from heat sources such as heaters and
radiators and out of direct sunlight. There should be free space of at least 3 inches behind the
appliance. Kitchen units (e.g. cupboards) should be at least 2 inches away from the appliance
in order to assure adequate ventilation. There should be 4 inches between both sides of the
appliance and other obstacles.
Electrical connection
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, ensure that the voltage and frequency
as indicated on the data plate correspond to those of the electrical mains. A deviation of -6%
to +6% is admissible with respect to the rated voltage. For operation with other voltage
supplies, an adequately powered auto-transformer is required.

Operation - Temperature regulation
To switch on the appliance, turn the thermostat knob clockwise from “OFF” or “0” to the required
cooling temperature.
An intermediate thermostat setting is generally recommended.
Storing food and drinks
For optimal use of the refrigerator compartment observe the following instructions:
1. Never put hot liquids or food in the refrigerator;
2. Cover or wrap food prior to storage
3. Arrange food so that air can circulate freely inside the compartment.
4. For meat (all types): Wrap and seal properly. Store time should be less than two days.
5. Cooked food, cold meals etc. must be covered well and stored in a proper position in the
refrigerator.
6. Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the appropriate drawer.
7. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator unless wrapped first.
Storing frozen food/freezing fresh food
Appliances with compartments can be used to store frozen food for a maximum time of one month.
1. The interval between purchase and placing the food in the freezer should be as short as possible.
2. Never exceed the storage period indicated on the food packaging.
3. Only open the freezer door when necessary and as quickly as possible.
In the event of operation after prolonged periods of disuse, switch on the appliance under no-load
conditions for 2-3 hours -- taking care to set the thermostat knob to the highest setting, then place
food in the refrigerator as required and adjust the thermostat knob to an intermediate setting.
Note: If food stored in the compartment is defrosted, e.g. due to a power failure, it should be
consumed within a short amount of time, even if not completely thawed.
Ice
The appliance is supplied with an ice tray to make ice. If the ice tray freezes onto the compartment,
never use metal and/or sharp objects to detach the tray from the compartment.

The care required for best performance includes:
1) Your refrigerator should not exceed its storage volume.
2) If the appliance has stopped operating for a time (due to interruption of power supply or failure of
the refrigerating system), food should be disposed of accordingly.
3) Group and arrange your food according to type to get the optimum efficiency of your appliance.
Defrosting food
For optimal cooking results with frozen food, we recommend defrosting inside the refrigerator or at
ambient temperature -- the latter obviously requires less time. If you need to save time and cook food
in the shortest possible time, you can cook small frozen items by lengthening the cooking time slightly,
or microwaving big frozen items to reduce defrosting time.
Defrosting the appliance
Frost on the inner cooling walls of the refrigerator is eliminated automatically every time the motor
compressor is shut down. Water from melted frost is collected by means of a water tray installed
underneath the evaporator at the upside of the unit. Periodically check and throw away the defrost
water from the water tray.
Frost should be removed from the freezer compartment once it reaches a thickness of over 3-4 mm.
Never use metal objects to remove the ice as it could damage the appliance.
Refrigerator Lamp
The central section of the thermostat box is fitted with a lamp for internal lighting. If a
replacement is required, disconnect the appliance from the power supply first before removing the
protection grille from the thermostat unit and unscrewing the lamp. Replace with a lamp (10W max.)
of the same voltage; refit the grille on the thermostat unit to complete the replacement.
Prolonged periods of disuse
If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of time, set the thermostat knob to the
“OFF” or “0”position and disconnect the power supply. Then take the food out, defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you may damage the surface.
Clean the exterior with cloth.
Remove the detachable accessories and clean with water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts
cannot be washed in dishwashers.
Wash the interior of the appliance with wet cloth, adding one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and reload it.
