Installation
Positioning
 Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and
heat sources.
 Maintain recommended ventilation - see Fig. 1.
 Make sure the refrigerator is accurately levelled tur-
ning the adjustable feet in order to avoid vibrations
and noises, Fig. 2.
 This is a built in design to be aligned with other fur-
niture
 The appliance must be located in places of maxi-
mum temperature as follows:
If the temperature are higher than these both above
mentioned, the functions of appliance coudl result
reduced.
Cleaning the interior
 Do not use alcohol or any cleanig product containing
alcohol because it can damage the cabinet.
 Before using the appliance for the first time wash the

20
Changing the opening direction
of doors and Panelling
If your refrigerator has top panel, you can manage in
the same way from point 1 to point 8 and then:
9... Unscrew the axle of the upper hing (9) and replace
it at the opposite side (10).
For the remaining parts proceed the other way round.

How to use your
Refrigerator-Freezer
Refrigerator Compartment:
This compartment is for storing drinks and
fresh food products.
The temperature inside is very evenly distribu-
ted. Make sure food does not touch the back
wall, since behind this surface is where the cold is
generated and food could bee partially frozen.
Also, this can impede the circulation of cold air.
This appliance is provided with an automatic
defrosting system. Consequently you will someti-
mes notice a thin layer of ice or drops of water on
the rear wall.
Freezer Compartment
This freezer, is marked , and is suitable
for freezing fresh foodstuffs and keeping food for
long periods.
Freezing of food
1... Place food on the upper grill.
2... Maintain food for at least 24 hours in that position.
3... The maximum quantity to be frozen within 24
hours is shown on the «Rating Plate», depending
on the model.
Keeping frozen food
For optimum consevation, the temperature inside the
freezer compartment must be at least -18°C.
This temperature is adjusted automatically.
Check that the «Temperature Control» is in a middle
position. Sometimes it may be necessary (insufficient
ventilation, high roon temperature, frequent opening
and closing of the door) to change the position of the
«Temperature Control».
If the appliance should be accidentally switched off by
a fault or power cut, take the following precautions:
 Keep the doors closed at all times.
 Find out how long the stoppage is expected to last.
Once normal power is restored:
A) If the freezer is full and the stoppage has been less
than «Time for temperature Rise» indicated for
each model in the «Technical Features» section,
then no damage will have been caused to the food.
B) If the freezer is not full, the cold will be lost more
quickly. If the food has not started to thaw, then
follow the instructions in «A».
C) If the food has begun to thaw, use them up as
quickly as possible, or cook them and refreeze
them.

23
How to use your
Refrigerator-Freezer
Useful Hints
Do not introduce any new food during a freezing
period.
Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing
near to already frozen food.
Wrap the food up properly or place it in hermethic
recipies before introducing it into the freezer.
Do not introduce any hot food into the freezer.
Food and drinks of a strong flavour may pass this on
to others and affect their flavour. Wrap them up ade-
quately or put them into tight closing bags.
Follow the instructions given in the cook books, fre-
ezing books and wrapping utensiles for better con-
servation of food.

24

Defrosting of the freezer
The inner walls of the freezer become gradually cove-
red with a layer of frost keeping in mind not to open the
door frequently and keeping the food wrapped up in
closed bags.
Whenever the thickness of ice reaches 5 mm. the frost
should be removed. Here to proceed as follows:
1... Remove all food staffand place it in the coolest
possible place.
2... Never pull up the sticked ice, you must wait untill
it is melted, when the ice is soft you can remove it
by helping yourself with a plastic ice-scraper,
