Installation
¥ During 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.
¥ There are working parts in this product which
heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate
ventilation as a failure to do this will result in
component failure and possible food loss. See
installation instructions.
¥ Parts which heat up should not be exposed.
Wherever possible the back of the product
should be against a wall.
¥ If the appliance has been transported
horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in
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.

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.
D338
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.
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.
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash
the interior and all internal accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap so as to remove
the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.
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
USE
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.
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.
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the thermostat knob (D),clockwise, beyond the
ÒOÓ (STOP) position (the light (C) will light up).
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS
If the appliance is not functioning 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 in the correct position.
¥ If there are water drops on the bottom of the
cabinet, check that the defrost water drain
opening is not obstructed (see ÒDefrostingÓ
section).
¥ 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
apply for it you specify the model and serial number
of your appliance which can be found on the
guarantee certificate or on the rating plate located
inside the appliance, on the bottom left-hand side.
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.
Important:
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a maechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing process other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
