Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated
on the rating plate of the appliance:
Climate class Ambient temperature
SN +10oC to +32oC
N +16oC to +32oC
ST +16oC to +38oC
T +16oC to +43oC
Location
The appliance should be installed away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc.
Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the
appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the
cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 100 mm. Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned
below overhanging wall units. Accurate levelling is ensured by one or more adjustable feet at the base of the
cabinet.
Warning! It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug
must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your
domestic power supply. The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is provided with a
contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a
separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a qualified electrician. The manufacturer
declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed. This appliance complies with the
E.E.C. Directives.

Daily Use
First Use
Cleaning the interior
Before connecting the appliance, clean the interior, compartments, and accessories well with lukewarm
water and a mild soap and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
Temperature Setting
Plug in your appliance. The internal temperature is controlled by a
thermostat. There are 8 settings. 1 is the warmest and 7 is the coldest
setting. Zero (0) is off.
The appliance may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a
particularly hot room or if you open the door often.
Freezing Fresh Food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
Storing frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before placing products in the compartment
allow the appliance to run for at least 2 hours on the higher setting.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, or a power cut lasting 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 cooked). Ensure the food has
been cooled completely.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the fridge 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, the cooking
time will take longer.
Ice-cube
This appliance may be equipped with one or more ice-cube trays.
Accessories
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so the
shelves can be positioned as desired.

~ 13 ~
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights. To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
gradually pull the balcony in the direction of the arrows until it comes free,
then reposition as required.
Helpful hints and tips
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 hrs. is shown on the rating plate.
the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period.
only freeze 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 cause
freezer/frost burn to the skin.
it is advisable to show the freezing date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage
time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
ensure commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer.
Ensure frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time.
not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be re-frozen.
do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacture.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
For best performance: -
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
Make (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelves above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only for one to two days at most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc, should be covered and 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 bottle: these should have a cap and should be stored in the door shelves.
Bananas, potatoes, onions, and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the fridge.

Cleaning
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Caution! The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock!
Before cleaning switch off the appliance from the mains and remove the plug. Never clean the appliance
with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components and run the risk of electrical
shock! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is placed
back into service.
Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice form
orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid.
Clean drain hole
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically clean the drain
hole at back of fridge compartment. Use a cleaner to clean the hole as shown
in diagram opposite.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact the appliance parts.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners
Remove the food from the freezer. Cover and store in a cool place.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and
lukewarm water. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
After everything is dry place appliance back into service.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. When the ice
becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:
Unplug the unit from the mains socket.
remove all stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and place in a cool place.
keep the door open and place a basin underneath the appliance to collect the defrost water.
when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly
plug in the power socket to run the appliance again.
Replacing the lamp
Caution! Before replacing the lamp, ensure you disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.
Lamp specification is listed in rating label. Follow below process to replace the lamp
1. Set the temperature regulation knob at number “0” to switch off the
appliance.
2. Unplug the appliance to ensure the appliance is disconnected from
main power supply.
3. Remove the screw of the lamp cover.
4. Pull the lamp cover out.
5. Unscrew the lamp.
6. Fit new lamp as illustrated in the diagram opposite, then replace the
lamp cover and screw.
7. Plug in the appliance and regulate the knob to right position.
