OPERATION
Refrigerator/Freezer - Starting-up and
Temperature Regulation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, to be found on the upper right side of the inner
liner, clockwise, beyond 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 ad-
justed depending 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 location of the appliance.
Turn the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to obtain
a lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a higher tem-
perature is required.
Attention
When the refrigerator is set for the coldest tempera-
tures, with a high surrounding room temperature, it will
probably work uninterruptedly, with consequent frost-
ing of the back wall of the compartment or of the
evaporator (if exposed). If this does in fact occur, the
knob should be set to a slightly higher temperature. In
this way the refrigerator automatically defrosts, with a
considerable energy saving.
Important
With room temperature lower than +14°C switch «A»
(see Fig. 10) should be depressed (the built-in light will
come on).

Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment ( ) is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food, and for
freezing fresh food. Do not exceed the storage times
shown by the manufacturer on the commercially fro-
zen food packets.
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 in the top basket of the
freezing compartment as this is the coldest part.
The maximum quantity of food which can be fro-
zen 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 tab of the stor-
age time.
On the rear of the door you will find a list of foods fol-
lowed by a number. These numbers indicate the maxi-
mum period of time for which the food in question
may be conserved (in months).
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.

17
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 within
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.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cov-
er or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong fla-
vour.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper
and, for safety, only store in this way for one or two
days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or pol-
ythene 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.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.

18
Defrosting
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 (Fig. 12)
into a special container on the back of the appliance
where it evaporates.
Fig. 12
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 4 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:
Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
Pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the ther-
mostat knob to the «O» setting.
Leave the door open.
Introduce the plastic scraper in the appropriate seat-
ing at the bottom centre, as shown in Fig. 13, place
underneath a basin to collect the defrost water.
Fig. 13
D037
D068
When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly;
Keep the scraper for future use, replace the plug in the
socket and, after letting the appliance run for at least
half an hour, replace the previously removed food into
the compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from
the evaporator as you could damage it.

19
MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
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,
Replacing the interior light bulb
The light bulb of the refrigerator can easily be reached.
If the light does not come on when the door is opened,
check that the light bulb is correctly screwed in; if after
this it still does not light up, replace the bulb.
The rating is shown on the light bulb cover.

CUSTOMER SERVICE
What to do if the appliance is not functioning prop-
erly.
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 not on the «OFF» 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 bottom of the cabinet
check that the defrost water drain opening is not ob-
structed (Fig. 12).
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find
already inserted into the discharge hole.
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.
