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
interior whith luke warm water and some neutral
soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product arid then dry thoroughly.
 Do not use detergents or abrasive powders as these
will damage the finish.
 Remove security used for transportation.
Electrical connection
mBefore plugging the appliance make sure that the
voltage and frequency shown on the «Technical
Features» correspond to your home supply.
mIt is essential that the appliance be efficiently
earthed.
For this purpose the supply cable plug incorporates
a special earth contact. If the sockets of your domes-
tic wiring system are not grounded, have the
appliance connected to a separate ground wire in
accordance with existing safety regulations.
«THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES TO
ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY IF THIS SAFETY
RULE IS NOT OBSERVED».
Starting  up
 Plug the appliance into the mains.

Changing the opening direction
of doors and Panelling
If you wish to change the opening side of the doors
proceed as follows:
1... Remove the handles of the doors, if they are side
fixing by screws.
2... Take off the plinth pressed on to.
3... Remove the inferior hing taking care for the dow-
ner door not to fall off and not to lose the plastic
spacer. Using a 10mm spanner, unscrew the hinge
pin and reassemble it on the opposite side.
4... Lift the downer door off the central hinge.
5... Remove the central hinge taking care for the upper
door not to fall off .
6... Take the upper door off the upper hinge. Be careful
not to lose the plastic ring.
7... Unscrew the plastic bolts of the opposite side of the
place of the central hinge taken out and introduce
them in the holes occupied before by the hinge.

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 7 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.
Once finished make sure that all joints close
perfectly well all around the door and chek that the
internal light turns of when the fridge door closes.
How to panel the door:
If your appliance is provided with metal strips for
panelling and you wish to do so proceed as follows:
1... Remove one of the side strips.
2... Loosen the screws of the remaining strips.
3... Start putting on the panel where you took off the
strip pushing it right up to the end.
4... Replace the strip on this side.
5... Tighten all screws
NOTE:
The panel dimensions must be 2 mm. shor-
ter than the doors. Maximun thickness of
the panel is 4 mm.

21
Regulation and Control
Temperature Regulator for Refrige-
rator:
«A»
Allows to adjust the temperature inside the refrigerator
according to use and external conditions.
 Pos. 1 = Minimum cold.
 Pos. 6 = Maximum cold.
 Pos. 0 = Motor disconnected.
Interior light:
Comes on when opening the door of the refrigerating
compartment.
When changing the light bulb, first remove the protec-
tive cover «X», by firmly holding the edge and pulling
it horizontally. (see point A1 «IF SOMETHING DOES
NOT WORK»).
Dinamic Refrigeration (DAC): (some
models only).
The Dynamic Refrigeration System give, in the fridge
compartment, extra efficiency showed in:
 Quicker refrigeration.
 More homogeneous temperature.
DAC (Dynamic Air Cooling system) has been mainly
designed for hot weather (ambient temperature above
25°), and also when the refrigerator is plenty of food.
To start working, push the switch.
When DAC is switched on, the cold production is hig-
her, thus you should turn the temperature regulator to
an adequate position ( ) to avoid excesive cold.

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.

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

ration, be sure to unplug the appliance.
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,
never use sharp objects, or heating households
because the appliance could be seriusly damaged.
3... Once removed the ice clean and dry the inside with
a soft piece of cloth.
4... You can plug it in again.

while running through the tubes.
3. Compressor.
May cause zumbing noises and/or slight bumping.
4. Insulation.
The material used has a tendency to increase noises,
but it does insulate perfectly and is of low energy con-
sumption.
