OPERATION
Starting-up and Temperature Regulation
Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the refriger-
ator door and turn the thermostat knob, to be found
on the upper right side of the inner liner clockwise, be-
yond the «O» position, to start the appliance.
Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the
thermostat knob to the required setting. A medium
setting is generally the most suitable. However, the
thermostat knob setting should be adjusted depend-
ing on the temperature required inside the appliance.
This, in turn, depends on a number of factors such as
the ambient temperature, the number of times the
door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the lo-
cation of the appliance. Turn the knob clockwise, to
higher numbers, to obtain a lower temperature, or an-
ticlockwise if a higher temperature is required.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment ( ) is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food (i.e. for
3 months, unless otherwise stated by the manufactur-
er), and for freezing fresh food.
Under normal circumstances, to freeze fresh foods it
is not necessary to change the setting of the thermo-
stat knob with respect to the normal running position.
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 on the shelf.
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 possi-
ble 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 the
freezing-in date to enable you to keep tap of the stor-
age time.
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.
On the rear of the door you will find a list of foods fol-
lowed by a number. These numbers indicate the max-
imum period of time for which the food in question
may be conserved (in months).
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 food-
store 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 with-
in 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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with trays for the produc-
tion of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water to 3⁄4 of their height, then
put them in the freezer compartment.
The ice-cubes may be shaken out from the trays by
simply twisting; do not use metallic instruments to re-
move the trays from the freezer.

19
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the 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.
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.
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 poly-
thene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have 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.
Movable wire shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired (Fig. 11).
Fig. 11
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 required.

Defrosting
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator
of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor
compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a trough (Fig. 14) into a special
container on the back of the appliance where it evap-
orates.
Clean periodically the water discharge hole in the
centre of the drip collector. Use the special cleaner
provided, which you will find already inserted into
the discharge hole (Fig. 14).
Fig. 14
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 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:
Unplug the appliance from the power supply or set the
thermostat on the «O» position. Remove the ice-cube
trays and the frozen foods and wrap them in several
sheets of newspaper or, even better, in thermally insu-
lated containers, and then keep them in a cool place.
Keep the freezer door open and introduce a container
filled with hot water (taking care to place this on a lay-
er of cardboard) so as to accelerate the defrosting
process.
Place a basin on the first grill shelf in the refrigerator
directly below the drainage hole and lift up the small
lid (Fig. 15).
Fig. 15
Absorb all remaining water with a sponge and then
accurately dry the freezer. Reconnect the appliance to
the power supply and then set the thermostat to cold-
est position for approximately 2 hours and then shift it
into the normal functioning status.
Replace the foods previously removed from the freezer.
Important
Never use knives or metal objects to scrape away the
accumulated frost which might damage the cooling
circuit.
Periodically clean the defrosting water drainage hole
of the refrigerator (Fig. 14), using the special cleaner
provided.
Remember that an increase in the surface tempera-
ture of already-frozen foods may significantly de-
crease the duration of their conservation.

MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Internal cleaning
Clean the interior periodically with lukewarm water
and some bicarbonate of soda; the cabinet exterior
with a Silicone wax spray; the condenser and the mo-
tor compressor with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
During periods when the appliance is not in use, take
the following precautions:
unplug the appliance from the power supply;
remove all foodstuffs from the appliance;
clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the doors ajar to facilitate the circulation of air in
the interior of the cabinet so as to prevent unpleasant
odours from accumulating in the appliance.
Interior light
The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment can
be reached as follows:
ªunscrew the light cover securing screws;
ªunhook the moving part by pressing it as shown in
the figure.
If the door is open and the light does not come on,
check that the bulb is properly screwed in; if it still
does not work, replace the bulb with one of the same
power.
The maximum rating is shown on the light cover.

CUSTOMER SERVICE
What to do if the appliance is not function-
ing properly
If something is not working properly, check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
there is an electricity supply (find out by plugging in
another appliance);
the thermostat knob is on the correct position.
Furthermore
If the appliance seems too noisy, check that the sides
are not touching furniture that can transmit or amplify
a noise or a vibration.
Also, check that the piping of the refrigerant system
does not vibrate. If there are water drops on the bot-
tom of the cabinet check that the defrost water drain
opening is not obstructed (Fig. 14).
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact the nearest service
centre.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you ap-
ply for it you specify the model & serial number of your
appliance which can be found either in the warranty or
on the rating plate.
