should you move house and leave the appliance, always
ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in
order that the new owner can be acquainted with the
functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.
These warnings are provided in the interest of safety.
You must read them carefully before installing or using
the appliance.
ªThis appliance is designed to be operated by
adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper
with the controls or play with the product.
ªAny electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
ªThis product should be serviced by an authorized
Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts
should be used.
ªIt is dangerous to alter the specifications or
modify this product in any way.
ªCare must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
ªThe domestic refrigerators and freezers are
designed to be used specifically for the storage of
edible foodstuffs only.
ªFrozen food must not be re-frozen once it has
been thawed out.
ªManufacturers’ storage recommendations should
be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.
ªDuring normal operation, the condenser and
compressor at the back of the appliance heat up
considerably. For safety reasons, minimum
ventilation must be as shown in the relevant
Figure.
Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of
obstruction.
ªBefore any cleaning or maintenance work is
carried out, be sure to switch off and unplug the

the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It
is advisable to wait at least two hours before
connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow
back in the compressor.
ªThe inner lining of the appliance consists of
channels through which the refrigerant passes. If
these should be punctured this would damage the
appliance beyond repair and cause food loss. DO
NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape
off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using
the scraper provided. Under no circumstances
should solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice
should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the
appliance. See defrost instructions.
ªDo not use a mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing process other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
ªDo not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the

USE
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.
The appliance will start to operate.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward
lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob
towards higher settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:
room temperature;
how often the door is opened;
the quantity of food stored;
location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob
to position «O».
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.
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
polythene 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.
Inner arrangement
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired (Fig. 8-9).
For better use of space, the front half-shelves (for
models which are provided with them) can lie over
the rear ones (Fig. 8).

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 shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, 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 water drains out through a trough into
a special container at the back of the appliance, over
the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
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.

as it may get damaged.
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate
of soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to
prevent unpleasant smells.
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
