Operation
Switching on
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium
setting.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in
mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends
on:
Switching off
• room temperature
To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature regulator
to the "O" position.
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings to
obtain the minimum coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings
to obtain the maximum coldness.
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.
First use
Cleaning the interior
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as
these will damage the finish.
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the inte-
rior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and
some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
Daily use
Freezing fresh food
Storage of frozen food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food
and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment let the appliance

dium setting.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on
cooling shelves to obtain the best performance.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the tempera-
ture regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maxi-
mum coldness.
Warning! Make sure that foods do not exceed the
load limit stated on the side of the upper section
Important! In this condition, the refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset the
temperature regulator to a warmer setting.
(where applicable)
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top compartment.

Positioning the door shelves
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure, if the power has been off
for longer that the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately
and then re-frozen (after cooling).
To permit storage of food
packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temper-
ature, 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.
Gradually pull the shelf in
the direction of the arrows
until it comes free, then
reposition as required.
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.
Important! Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigera-
tor are equipped with a
series of runners so that
the shelves can be posi-
tioned as desired.
Helpful hints and tips
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer
than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature
Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is
fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens,
set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings
to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in elec-
tricity consumption.
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it
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
most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered
and may be placed on any shelf.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
5
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 air-
tight 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 stor-
ed in the bottle rack on the door.
• 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 in-
dividual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage
time.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must
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.
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 subse-
quently 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;
Care and cleaning
Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed
cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as
this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water
and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure
they are clean and free from debris.
Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemi-
cals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appli-
ance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water
with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains sup-
ply.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the cabinet.

the appropriate
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of
the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com-
pressor 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.

In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a
pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In ad-
dition, remove pieces of ice that break away before de-
frosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and keep the scraper for future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the previously re-
moved food into the compartment.
Warning! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to
speed up the thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer
shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness
of about 3-5 mm.
Important! About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the
Temperature regulator toward higher settings , in order to
build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in
operation.
Periods of non-operation
