indicator light (C) will light up .
To turn off the refrigerator, turn the thermostat knob
to the «O»position.
Te perature 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
refrigerator depends on:
•room temperature;
•how often the door is opened;
•the quantity of food stored;
•location of appliance.
USE
I portant
If the a bient te perature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest te peratures, it ay run
continuously causing frost to for on the rear
wall. In this case the dial ust be set to a higher
te perature to allow auto atic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consu ption.

1. pull off the ventilation grille (D) which is clipped
into place;
2. remove the bottom hinge (E) by unscrewing its
three fixing screws;
3. remove the lower door, sliding it out of the middle
hinge;
4. unscrew the middle hinge (H);
5. remove the upper door, releasing it from the
upper pin (G);
6. unscrew the upper pin (G) and refit it on the
opposite side;
7. remove the two plugs of the door (where
available), discovering the holes for the hinge
pins, assemble them on the opposite side and
refit the upper door;
8. reassemble the middle hinge on the opposite
side;
9. using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew the hinge pin
(E) and reassemble it on the opposite side of the
hinge;
10. reassemble the lower hinge (E) on the opposite
side, using the screws previously removed. Slide
the hole cover (F) out of the ventilation grille (D)
by pushing it in the direction of the arrow and
reassemble it on the opposite side;
11. reassemble the lower door;
12. refit the ventilation grille (D), clipping it into

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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays
for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with
water, then put them in the freezer compartment.
Do not use etallic instru ents to re ove the
trays fro the freezer.
16
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
room temperature, depending on the time available
for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.
If the freezer has already been working for some
time, turn the ambient knob to the “S”symbol at
least 12 hours before introducing the food into the
freezer in order to ensure better freezing results.
Place the food to be frozen on the upper
compartment.
I portant
Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in
the freezing compartment as they may burst.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezing compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt.
Remember that, once thawed, frozen food deterio-
rates rapidly.
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 two hours on the coldest
setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal
operating position.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers 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 (where applicable).
I portant
If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezer
co part ent. The frozen food will not be
affected if the power cut is of short duration (up
to 6-8 hours) and the freezer co part ent is full,
otherwise, it is reco ended that the food
should be used within a short ti e (a
te perature increase of the frozen food shortens
its safe storage period).
21
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and
frequency shown on the serial number plate
correspond to your domestic power supply. Voltage
can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage.
For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized
auto-transformer must be used.
The appliance ust be earthed.
The power supply cable plug is provided with a
contact for this purpose.
If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed,
connect the appliance to a separate earth in
compliance with current regulations, consulting a
specialist technician.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if
the above safety precautions are not observed.
This appliance complies with the following
E.E.C. Directives:

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.
PR260
Use and features of the «CRISP’N
FRESH»filter
The glass shelf on top of the vegetable drawer is
fitted with a special filter called «CRISP’N FRESH»
which ensures the correct amount of ventilation, and
significantly reduces the rate of food dehydration;
vegetables therefore store better and keep longer.
Cleaning the filter
The filter is held by two small support frames which
press into position and are therefore easily removed
for clearing. To do this, turn the glass shelf upside
down and release the frames as shown in the
illustration. The filter may be washed in normal
washing-up liquids. Do not place in dishwasher.

The freezer compartment, however, will become
progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
Never use sharp etal tools to scrape off frost
fro the evaporator as you could da age it.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out
as follows:
1. pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the
thermostat knob to the «O»setting;
2. remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place;
3. leave the door open, and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the bottom
centre, placing a basin underneath to collect the
defrost water.
4. when defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly; keep the scraper for future use;
5. turn the thermostat knob back to the required
setting or replace the plug in the power socket.
6. After two or three hours, reload the previously
removed food into the compartment.
I portant:
Never use sharp etal tools to scrape off frost
fro the evaporator as you could da age it.
Do not use a aechanical device or any artificial
eans to speed up the thawing process other
than those reco ended by the anufacturer.
A te perature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, ay shorten their safe storage
life.
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS

Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
•the maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hrs. is shown 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 thaw only the quantity
required;
•wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene
and make sure that the packages are airtight;
•do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which 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;
•water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
•it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on
each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of
the storage time;
HINTS
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place
on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days
at the ost.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)
provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in
special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium
foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as
possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, ust not be kept in the refrigerator.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
•make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were 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.
•The symbols on the drawers show different types
of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for
the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether
the upper or lower value of the indicated storage
time is valid depends on the quality of the foods
and pre-treating before freezing;
• do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,
etc.) in the freezer co part ent as they ay
burst.
19
Interior light
The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment
can be reached as follows:
- unscrew the light cover securing screw.

If the light does not come on when the door is open,
check that it is screwed into place properly. If it still
does not light up, change the bulb.
The rating is shown on the light bulb cover.
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 i portant to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the iddle of the refrigerator
co part ent 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.
