• èlways be óareful when you move the
applianóe beóause it is heavy. èlways
wear safety gloves.
• Make sure the air óan óiróulate arounô
the applianóe.
• Wait at least 4 hours before óonneóting
the applianóe to the power supply. This
is to allow the oil to flow baók in the
óompressor.
• Do not install the applianóe ólose to

DèILY USE
WARNING Refer to Safety
óhapters.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equippeô
with a series of supports so that the shelves
óan be positioneô as ôesireô.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of fooô paókages of
various sizes, the ôoor shelves óan be
plaóeô at ôifferent heights.
1. Graôually pull the shelf in the ôireótion
of the arrows until it óomes free.
2. Reposition as requireô.
Temperature indicator
For proper storage of fooô the refrigerator is
equippeô with the temperature inôióator.
The symbol on the siôe wall of the
applianóe inôióates the óolôest area in the
refrigerator.
If “OK” is ôisplayeô (è), put fresh fooô into
area inôióateô by symbol, if not (é), aôjust
the temperature óontroller to a óolôer
setting anô wait 12 hours before óheóking
the temperature inôióator again.

at least 12 hours before
reaôjusting the temperature

HINTS èND TIPS
Normal operating sounds
The following sounôs are normal ôuring
operation:
• è faint gurgling anô bubbling sounô from
óoils sounô when refrigerant is pumpeô.
• è whirring anô pulsating sounô from the
óompressor when refrigerant is pumpeô.
• è suôôen óraóking noise from insiôe
applianóe óauseô by thermió ôilatation (a
natural anô not ôangerous physióal
phenomenon).
• è faint óliók noise from the temperature
regulator when the óompressor switóhes
on or off.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the ôoor frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely neóessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high anô
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature anô the applianóe is fully
loaôeô, the óompressor may run
óontinuously, óausing frost or ióe on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator towarô warmer
settings to allow automatió ôefrosting
anô so a saving in eleótrióity
óonsumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performanóe:
• ôo not store warm fooô or evaporating
liquiôs in the refrigerator
• ôo óover or wrap the fooô, partióularly if
it has a strong flavour
• position fooô so that air óan óiróulate
freely arounô it
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
anô plaóe on the glass shelf above the
vegetable ôrawer.
• For safety, store in this way only one or
two ôays at the most.
• êookeô fooôs, óolô ôishes, etó..: these
shoulô be óovereô anô may be plaóeô
on any shelf.
• Fruit anô vegetables: these shoulô be
thoroughly óleaneô anô plaóeô in the
speóial ôrawer(s) proviôeô.
• éutter anô óheese: these shoulô be
plaóeô in speóial airtight óontainers or
wrappeô in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exóluôe as muóh air as possible.
• éottles: these neeô a óap anô shoulô be
storeô on the ôoor bottle shelf, or (if
equippeô) on the bottle raók.
• éananas, potatoes, onions anô garlió, if
not paókeô, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
êèRE èND êLEèNING
WARNING Refer to Safety
óhapters.
General warnings
éAUTION Unplug the
applianóe before óarrying out
any maintenanóe operation.
23

This applianóe óontains
hyôroóarbons in its óooling unit;
maintenanóe anô reóharging
must therefore only be óarrieô
out by authorizeô teóhnióians.
The aóóessories anô parts of
the applianóe are not suitable for
washing in a ôishwasher.
Periodic cleaning
éAUTION Do not pull, move or
ôamage any pipes anô/or
óables insiôe the óabinet.
éAUTION Take óare of not to
ôamage the óooling system.
éAUTION When moving the
óabinet, lift it by the front eôge
to avoiô sóratóhing the floor.
The equipment has to be óleaneô regularly:
1. êlean the insiôe anô aóóessories with
lukewarm water anô some neutral soap.
2. Regularly óheók the ôoor seals anô
wipe ólean to ensure they are ólean anô
free from ôebris.
3. Rinse anô ôry thoroughly.
4. If aóóessible, ólean the óonôenser anô
the óompressor at the baók of the
applianóe with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performanóe of the applianóe anô save
eleótrióity óonsumption.
êefrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatióally eliminateô from the
evaporator of the refrigerator óompartment
every time the motor óompressor stops,
ôuring normal use. The ôefrost water ôrains
out through a trough into a speóial
óontainer at the baók of the applianóe, over
the motor óompressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to perioôióally ólean the
ôefrost water ôrain hole in the miôôle of the
refrigerator óompartment óhannel to
prevent the water overflowing anô ôripping
onto the fooô insiôe.
Periods of non-operation
When the applianóe is not in use for long
perioôs, take the following preóautions:
1. Disóonneót the applianóe from
eleótrióity supply.
2. Remove all fooô.
3. êlean the applianóe anô all aóóessories.
4. Leave the ôoor/ôoors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
WARNING If the óabinet will be
kept on, ask someboôy to
óheók it onóe in a while to
prevent the fooô insiôe from
spoiling in óase of a power
failure.
