Use of the fridge compartment
Temperature regulation
The temperature of this compartment may be
regulated by rotating the knob (F), and may vary
bet een more or less +2°C and +8°C.
When the knob is rotated, the display flashes and
indicates the set temperature. After having set the
desired temperature, if the knob is not rotated ithin
5 seconds, the temperature of the freezer
compartment ill be indicated.
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
( armer) by rotating the thermostat knob to ard ●
settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob
to ards ● settings.
Ho ever, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:
• room temperature;
• ho often the door is opened;
• the quantity of food stored;
• location of appliance.
To shut off the refrigerator compartment, rotate the
knob (F) anticlock ise till position "O". In this
position the ord "OF" is indicated for 5 seconds.
The freezer compartment ill keep on orking.
We suggest placing the knob in the middle position to
obtain an internal temperature of approximately +5° C.
Once the refrigerator compartment is shut off, the
only temperature hich is indicated is that of the
freezer compartment. In this condition, the functions
minidac and shopping cannot be activated, and the
lighting in the refrigerator compartment ill be
s itched off.
Shopping Function
If you need to insert a large amount of arm food, for
example after doing the grocery shopping, e suggest
activating the Shopping function to chill the products
more rapidly and to avoid arming the other food
hich is already in the refrigerator.
The shopping function is activated by pressing key E
(several times if necessary) until the corresponding
icon appears
The shopping function shuts off automatically after
approximately 6 hours.
During the shopping function also the fan inside the
refrigerator compartment is automatically activated.
Note: the fan inside the refrigerator compartment is
automatically activated also hen the room
temperature is high (over 38°C), even though the
shopping function is not activated.
It is possible to de-activate the function at any time by
pressing key E (see paragraph "Function Activation").
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store arm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator;
• cover or rap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely
around it.
Switching off
The appliance is shut off by pressing key (A) for more
than 1 second. After this, a countdo n of the
temperature from -3 -2 -1 ill be sho n.
When the appliance is shut off, display (D) also goes

Not more than one function can be activated at a time;
to de-activate the functions, press the key several
times until no icon appears
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.
25
MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
Clean the inside ith arm ater and bicarbonate of
soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance ith a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operstion ill
improve the performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
take the follo ing precautions:
remove the plug from the all socket;
remove all food;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to allo air to circulate to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Defrosting
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator
of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor
compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost
ater drains out through a trough into a special
container at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, here 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.
D037

Use of the freezer compartment
Temperature regulation
The temperature of this compartment may be
regulated by rotating the knob (B), and may vary
bet een more or less -15°C and -24°C.
When the knob is rotated, the display flashes and
indicates the set temperature. After having set the
desired temperature, if the knob is not rotated ithin
5 seconds, the temperature of the freezer
compartment ill be indicated.
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
( armer) by rotating the thermostat knob to ard ●
settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob
to ards ● settings.
Ho ever, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
freezer depends on:
• room temperature;
• ho often the door is opened;
• the quantity of food stored;
• location of appliance.
We suggest setting the knob to the middle position
to obtain an internal temperature of approximately
-18°C, hich guarantees proper freezing and
conservation of the frozen foods.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for long term
storage of commercially frozen and deep-frezen
food, and for freezing fresh food.
The maximum quantity of foods to freeze in 24 hours
is sho n on the serial number plate.
To freeze the amount of food indicated on the serial
number plate, place the food directly in touch ith the
cooling surface (remove the dra er or basket).
In case the food is frozen inside the dra ers or
baskets, the maximum quantity is slightly reduced.
Place the food to be frozen in the upper part of the
freezer, as this is the coldest point.
To freeze fresh foods, you ill need to activate the
rapid freezing function. Press key E (several times if
necessary) until the corresponding icon appears
After a pre-cooling period of 24 hours, place the foods
in the freezer.
The freezing process takes 24 hours. During this
period do not put other foods in the freezer.
This function stops automatically after 54 hours.
The function can be de-activated at any time by
pressing key E (see paragraph "Activation of
Functions").
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let
the appliance run at least 12 hours on the fast freeze
setting. To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
dra ers and baskets from appliance and place food
on cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated
on the side of the upper section ( here applicable).
Important
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example
due to a power failure, if the power has been off
for longer that the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under “rising time”, the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).
The freezer is provided ith the symbol
hich means that it is suitable for freezing fresh food
and for long term storage of frozen and deep-frozen
food.
Ice packs
There are t o ice packs in one dra er of the freezer.
In the event of a po er failure or malfunction, the ice
pack ill lengthen the amount of time it takes for the
frozen food to become too arm by several hours. The
ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in
the uppermost dra er, at the front, above the frozen
food.You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags.
24
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs ere adequately stored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest
possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by
the food manufacturer.
ill find sketches of various animals and food
types together ith the recommended storage
time (in months) from the time of freezing;
• do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,
etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may
burst.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food hich can be
frozen in 24 hrs. is sho n 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 tha only the quantity
required;
• rap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene
and make sure that the packages are airtight;
• do not allo fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
hich 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;
• ater ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to sho the freezing-in date on
each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of
the storage time;
• on the inner door or special card (if supplied) you

Excessive temperature alarm
An increase in the temperature in the freezer
compartment (for example due to an po er failure)
is indicated by:

When you press key "E" to de-activate the alarm, the
highest temperature reached in the compartment
appears on indicator 4 for approximately 5 seconds.
At this point the flashing stops and the display
illumination changes over from red to hite.
During the alarm phase, the buzzer can be s itched
off by pressing key E; the illumination of the display
remains red until normal storage conditions are
restored.
