WARNINGS

It is most important that this instruction book should

be retained with the appliance for future reference.

Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another

owner, or should you move house and leave the

appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied

with the appliance in order that the new owner can be

acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and

the relevant warnings.

These warnings are provided in the interest of safety.

You must read them carefully before installing or

using the appliance.

ª This appliance is designed to be operated by

adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper

with the controls or play with the product.

ª Any electrical work required to install this

appliance should be carried out by a qualiﬁed

electrician or competent person.

ª This product should be serviced by an authorized

Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts

should be used.

ª It is dangerous to alter the speciﬁcations or

modify this product in any way.

ª Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance

does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

ª The domestic refrigerators and freezers are

designed to be used speciﬁcally for the storage of

edible foodstuffs only.

ª Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has

been thawed out.

ª Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant

instructions.

ª There are working parts in this product which

heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate

ventilation as a failure to do this will result in

component failure and possible food loss. See

installation instructions.

ª Parts which heat up should not be exposed.

Wherever possible the back of the product should

be against a wall.

ª Before any cleaning or maintenance work is

carried out, be sure to switch off and unplug the

appliance.

ª If the appliance has been transported

horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in

the compressor ﬂows in the refrigerant circuit. It

is advisable to wait at least two hours before

connecting the appliance to allow the oil to ﬂow

back in the compressor.

ª The inner lining of the appliance consists of

channels through which the refrigerant passes. If

these should be punctured this would damage the

appliance beyond repair and cause food loss.

DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to

scrape off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by

using the scraper provided. Under no

circumstances should solid ice be forced off the

liner. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when

defrosting the appliance. See defrost instructions.

ª Do not place carbonated or ﬁzzy drinks in the

ª This appliance does not contain gasses which could

damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant

circuit or insulation materials; it must nevertheless

be disposed of in a proper manner, in accordance

with regulations for protection of the environment.

INSTALLATION

If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to

replace an older appliance having a spring lock on the

door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable

before you discard the old appliance. This will prevent

it from becoming a death-trap for a child.

Location

The appliance should be installed well away from

sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct

sunlight etc.

Best performance is obtained with ambient

temperature between +18°C and +43°C (class T);

+18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C (class

N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN).

The class of your appliance is shown on its rating

plate.

Make sure that there is nothing at the back, at the

top and at the bottom of the appliance to obstruct

air circulation.

For more efﬁcient operation of the appliance the

minimum distance between the top of the appliance

and other overhanging kitchen furniture, if any,

should be at least 100 mm (Fig. 1-A).

The best solution is shown in Fig. 1-B (without

overhanging kitchen furniture).

The appliance sides may also be in contact with the

kitchen furniture, provided that air can circulate

freely round the back and top.

One or more adjustable feet mounted on the base of

the appliance make it possible to set it perfectly

level.

Fig. 1

Rear spacers

The plastic bag containing all relevant

documentation also contains two spacers to be ﬁtted

into special holes in the back of the appliance.

Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure

that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in Fig. 2.

Then turn them through 45° (arrow (A) vertical)

until they lock into place.

Power connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains

socket, check that the voltage and frequency

indicated on the appliance’s rating plate are the

same as those provided by your home power supply.

A 6% ﬂuctuation above or below rated voltage is

acceptable.

Make sure the plug and the socket are compatible so

that no adaptors need to be used. If necessary,

replace the socket with a suitable one.

The appliance MUST be connected to an efﬁcient

earth or ground tap.

The supply-lead plug in fact incorporates a special

earth or ground contact for this purpose. If by any

chance the sockets of your domestic wiring system

are not earthed, the appliance must be connected to

a separate earth or ground wire by a qualiﬁed

electrician, in accordance with existing safety

regulations.

The manufacturer declines to accept any liability if

this accident-prevention procedure is not followed.

This appliance complies with the relevant UNI

standards and with E.E.C. Directive No. 87/308 of

02.06.87 relative to radio interference suppression.

This appliance complies with the following

E.E.C. Directives:

- 73/23 EEC of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and

subsequent modiﬁcations;

- 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic

Compatibility Directive) and subsequent

modiﬁcations.

Cleaning the appliance’s interior

Before using the appliance for the ﬁrst time, wash

all internal parts with lukewarm water and neutral

soap so as to remove the typical «new» smell and

then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders as these

will damage the ﬁnish.

Door reversal directions

Before starting work, unplug the appliance. To

reverse the opening direction of the door proceed as

follows:

Remove the lower hinge (3), the pin (1), the washer

(4) and the screw (2);

slide the door out from the pin (5), remove the pin

and place it on the opposite side;

unscrew the foot front left and place it on the

opposite side;

unscrew the two screws which mask the holes for

ﬁxing the hinge on the front left side;

reassemble the door;

reﬁt the lower hinge (turning it 180°), the washer,

the pin and the screw on the opposite side, as shown

in the ﬁgure.

remove the handle, after having removed the screw

cover and reﬁt it on the opposite side.

The holes that are not used must be masked with

the plastic plugs removed.

Attention

After completion of the door reversibility operation,

check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If

the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the

gasket may not ﬁt perfectly to the cabinet. In that

case, wait for the natural ﬁtting of the gasket or

accelerate this process by heating up the part

involved with a normal hairdrier.

Fitting the door panel

(for models equipped with door frame)

To ﬁt the door panel, proceed as follows:

– remove the ﬁxing screws and remove the frame

side opposite the handle;

– loosen, without removing them, all remaining

screws ﬁxing the door frame;

– insert the panel from the side on which the frame

has been removed and push it fully in;

– reﬁt the frame side and tighten all the screws.

Note

The panel size should be 1-2 mm smaller than the

door; the maximum permissible panel thickness is

4 mm.

USE

Start-up - Temperature regulation

After plugging in the appliance, turn the

thermostat knob, located at the top right of the

fridge, clockwise to the required position (beyond

position «O» - off). A medium setting is

recommended.

Temperature is kept constant automatically and can

be increased by turning the knob to lower numbers,

or reduced by turning it to higher numbers.

Proper setting is achieved by bearing in mind that

the temperature inside the fridge depends on the

following factors:

room temperature;

number of times the door is opened;

amount of food stored;

location of the appliance.

To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat knob to

«O».

At the lowest temperature setting, when the appliance

is full and room temperature is high, the compressor

may operate continuously and frost forms on the

evaporator of the frezeer compartment. In this case,

turn the knob to a less cold setting so that the

evaporator can be automatically defrosted with a

lower power consumption.

Food refrigeration

To achieve the best results with the refrigerator

compartment, you should follow one or two very

simple rules:

Do not put warm foods or evaporating liquids in the

refrigerator. Cover or wrap foods (particularly if

they have a strong smell). Do not cover the shelves

(grids) with paper or plastic since this blocks

circulation of air in the compartment.

Hints for correct use

Raw meat: wrap in polythene bags and place on top

of the salad crisper and, for safety, only store in this

way for one or two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be

covered and stored on the fridge shelves.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.

Butter & 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.

Movable wire shelves

Fig. 4

The walls of the

refrigerator are

equipped with a

series of runners

so that the

shelves can be

positioned as

desired.

D040

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,

the door shelves can be adjusted in height.

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 (Fig. 5-6).

Fig. 5

For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can

be removed by pulling it in the direction of the

arrows, then reﬁtting it in position (Fig. 6).

Fig. 6

D064

D066

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

(Fig. 7) into a special container on the back of the

appliance where it evaporates.

Clean periodically the water drain hole (Fig. 7). Use

the special cleaner provided, which you will ﬁnd

already inserted into the drain hole.

Fig. 7

Refrigeration of drinks

(for models ﬁtted with dispenser)

The dispenser for drinks refrigeration is located in

the storage door and can be easily removed for

cleaning.

For dispenser use, press the glass forward against

the tap; when you remove the glass, the tap closes

automatically.

Let warm water cool in the dispenser and then

clean it. For proper cleaning, add a spoonful of

sodium bicarbonate to the water; open and close the

tap several times in order to remove sugar deposits

and ﬁnally empty the dispenser and rinse it with

clean water.

D037

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any

maintenance operation.

Periodic cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance

as it may get damaged.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate

of soda.

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,

take the following precautions:

remove the plug from the wall socket;

remove all food;

defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;

leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to

prevent unpleasant smells.

Interior light bulb

The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment

can be reached as follows:

ª unscrew the light cover securing screws;

ª unhook the moving part by pressing it as shown

in the ﬁgure.

If the door is open and the light does not come on,

check that the bulb is properly screwed in; if it still

does not work, replace the bulb with one of the

same power.

The maximum rating is shown on the light cover.

D411

SERVICING

If the appliance is not functioning properly check

that:

the plug is ﬁrmly in the wall socket and the mains

power switch is on;

there is no power failure; the control knob is in the

right position.

Furthermore, if the appliance seems too noisy check

that the sides are not touching furniture that can

transmit or amplify noise or vibration. Also, check

that the refrigerant unit does not vibrate.

If there is water on the fridge bottom, make sure

the defrost water drainage hole is not clogged

(Fig. 7).

To clean the drainage hole use the special cleaner

provided, which you will ﬁnd already inserted into

the hole.

If your appliance is still not working properly after

making the above checks, contact your local dealer

or the nearest service center.

To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you

apply for it you specify the model and serial number of

your appliance which can be found on the warranty

certiﬁcate or inside the appliance on the rating plate.
