(class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN). The
class f y ur appliance is sh wn n its rating
plate.
Warning: when the ambient temperature is n t
included within the range indicated f r the class
f this appliance, the f ll wing instructi ns must
be bserved: when the ambient temperature
dr ps bel w the minimum level, the st rage
temperature in the freezer c mpartment cann t
be guaranteed; theref re it is advisable t use the

Operation
After plugging the plug int the p wer utlet, if the
display is n t illuminated, press key (A), appliance n.
As s n as the appliance is turned n, the f ll wing
signals will appear n the c ntr l panel:
• symb l (2) will be p sitive, indicating that the
temperature is p sitive.
Place the freezer therm stat c ntr l kn b (D) in a
middle p siti n, and the appliance will be set up t
pr vide the f ll wing temperature:
r ughly +5°C in the refrigerat r.
Fresh food refrigeration
T btain the best perf rmance:
• d n t st re warm f d r evap rating liquids in
the refrigerat r;
• d c ver r wrap the f d, particularly if it has a
str ng flav ur.
• P siti n f d s that air can circulate freely r und
it.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is aut matically regulated and can
be increased t achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) r reduced (c lder) by r tating the
therm stat kn b cl ckwise.
H wever, the exact setting sh uld be ch sen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerat r depends n:
• r m temperature;
• h w ften the d r is pened;
• the quantity f f d st red;
• l cati n f appliance.
We suggest placing the kn b in the middle p siti n t
btain an internal temperature f appr ximately +5° C.
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.
Use of the fridge compartment
Shopping Function
If y u need t insert a large am unt f warm f d, f r
example after d ing the gr cery sh pping, we suggest
activating the Sh pping functi n t chill the pr ducts

The sh pping functi n is activated by pressing key C
(several times if necessary) until the c rresp nding

With the temperature indicat r y u can keep a check that y ur refrigerat r is w rking pr perly.
The indicat r sh ws the "OK" symb l when the c ldest area reaches a temperature that is bel w r equal t
4°C.
If the temperature is higher than 4°C the indicat r is black s y u must adjust the therm stat t make the

ATTENTION: Keeping the refrigerat r d r pen f r a l ng time will cause the internal temperature t rise. T
measure the temperature c rrectly, it sh uld be read n the indicat r within 30 sec nds.
FOOD PROTECTION
Air recycling
The refrigerat r c mpartment is equipped with a
special D.A.C.(Dynamic Air C ling) fan which can
be turned n with the switch ( see fig. 1). The green
light, when n, means that the fan is w rking.
It is suggested that the fan (D.A.C.) be used when
the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C .

Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in p lythene bags and place
n the glass shelf ab ve the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days
at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these sh uld be
c vered and may be placed n any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these sh uld be th r ughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)
pr vided.
Butter and cheese: these sh uld be placed in
special airtight c ntainers r wrapped in aluminium
f il r p lythene bags t exclude as much air as
p ssible.
Milk bottles: these sh uld have a cap and sh uld
be st red in the b ttle rack n the d r.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Positioning the door shelves
T permit st rage f f d packages f vari us sizes,
the d r shelves can be placed at different heights.
T make these adjustments pr ceed as f ll ws:
Gradually pull the shelf in the directi n f the arr ws
until it c mes free, then rep siti n as required.
Movable shelves
The walls f the refrigerat r are equipped with a
series f runners s that the shelves can be
p siti ned as desired.
F r better use f space, the fr nt half-shelves can lie
ver the rear nes.

MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance c ntains hydr carb ns in its c ling
unit; maintenance and recharging must theref re
nly be carried ut by auth rized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarb nate f
s da. Rinse and dry th r ughly.
Clean the c ndenser (black grill) and the
c mpress r at the back f the appliance with a
brush r a vacuum cleaner. This persti n will
impr ve the perf rmance f the appliance and save
electricity c nsumpti n.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is n t in use f r l ng peri ds,
take the f ll wing precauti ns:
rem ve the plug fr m the wall s cket;
rem ve all f d;
defr st and clean the interi r and all access ries;
leave the d r ajar t all w air t circulate t prevent
unpleasant smells.
Interior light
If it bec mes necessary t replace the lamp, press
n the rear h k and at the same time
slide the c ver in the directi n indicated by the arr w.
Attention:
Replace the lamp with ne f the same p wer (the
maximum p wer is sh wn n the light diffuser).
Defrosting
Fr st is aut matically eliminated fr m the evap rat r
f the refrigerat r c mpartment every time the m t r
c mpress r st ps, during n rmal use. The defr st
water drains ut thr ugh a tr ugh int a special
c ntainer at the back f the appliance, ver the
m t r c mpress r, where it evap rates.
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.
