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  
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the me- run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.  
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:

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.  
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at  
the back of the appliance with a brush or a vacuum clean-  
er. This operation will improve the performance of the ap-  
pliance and save electricity consumption.  
Periodic cleaning  
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.

Defrosting of the refrigerator  
3. Leave the door  
open and insert the  
plastic scraper in  
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.  
seating at the bot-  
tom centre, placing  
a basin underneath

frost water  
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  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the  
following precautions:  
disconnect the appliance from electricity supply  
• remove all food  
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
