USE
Operation - Temperature regulation
Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise until
reaching the desired position (beyond the «
O» =
stop position); the best position is between 3 and 4.
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature (less
cold) by rotating the thermostat toward lower
settings or diminished (more cold) 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.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob
to position «
O».
When the refrigerator is set for the coldest temperatures,
with a high surrounding room temperature, it will
probably be in constant operation, with consequent
frosting of the back wall of the compartment. If this
does occur, the knob should be set to obtain a slightly
higher temperature. In this way the refrigerator
automatically defrosts, with a considerable energy saving.
Storage of foods in refrigerator compartment
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 or contain aromatic herbs).
Do not cover the shelves (grids) with paper or
plastic since this blocks circulation of air in the
compartment.
Place the food so as to allow air circulation.
Foods should be positioned inside the refrigerator
compartment as indicated in Figure 9.
1. Cold cuts, cheese, butter, milk
2. Meat and fish
3. Fruit and vegetables.
Fig. 9
Raw meat (of all types) should be stored in plastic
bags. Max. conservation time: 1-2 days.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc., should be well covered
and can be placed on any grid.
Fruit and vegetables should be washed before being
stored in the specific drawer.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed,
must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.

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. 11
Fig. 12
Freezing of fresh food and storage of frozen food
The freezer compartment is marked with
which means that the compartment is suitable for
the freezing of fresh food and for the long term
storing of frozen food.
Freezing of fresh food
To freeze fresh food it is not necessary to change the
thermostat knob position from that of normal
functioning.
To help you get the best out of the freezing process,
here are a few hints:
Place the food to be frozen on the glass shelves of
the freezer;
Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned
foods.
Split them into small portions to speed up freezing
and avoid having to thaw more food than you
require.
Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring
that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is
D006
D026
well sealed.
It is a good idea to mark the packs with the date on
which freezing started so that you can keep a check
on storage periods.
On the inner freezer door of certain models you will
find schematic drawings of foods and animals
indicating maximum storage time (in months)
possible from the time of freezing.
The foods for freezing should not be placed in
contact with already frozen foods. This would cause
the temperature of already frozen foods to rise.
During the freezing process, do not add further
foods for freezing and do not open the freezer door.
Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might well
burst.
A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not
be eaten straight out of the freezer as this might
cause cold burns.
The maximum amount of food which is freezable in
24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to
be found in the refrigerator compartment on the
bottom left-hand side.
Storage of commercially frozen food
To get the best out of your freezer, you should
ensure that:
the products have been correctly stored by the
retailer;
you do not store products for longer than the time
specified by the food manufacturer;
avoid opening the door too frequently and when you
do open it, leave it open only for as long as is strictly
necessary.
If the freezer has been out of use for some time,
before putting the products in the compartment let
the freezer run for at least two hours with the
thermostat knob on max. cold setting. After this,
reset the freezer for normal storage use.
If there happens to be a power failure during the
conservation of frozen food do not open the freezer door.
If the freezer is completely full and the failure is short
(from 10 to 12 hours), frozen products will not be
affected. Otherwise they should be used up very quickly.
It is in fact important to remember that once the foods
have thawed out, they deteriorate fast and cannot be re-
frozen.
17
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.
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 metallic instruments to remove the trays
from the freezer.
Freezer compartment defrosting
The air humidity that penetrates inside the
appliance when opening its door, accumulates on the
evaporator and particularly on its upper part, thus
creating a layer of frost. To avoid excessive
formation of frost do not leave the door open more
than necessary.
The formation of a thin layer of frost (as for example
on the front edge of the freezer) does not require
complete defrosting. Eliminate this layer
periodically using a plastic scraper (do not use
knives or sharp objects). If a thick layer has formed
it will be necessary to carry out a complete
defrosting as follows:
1. Take out all the frozen food and wrap it in
newspapers placing it in a container (basin or
paper box, etc.) in a cool place until the cleaning
operations have been completed.
2. Set the thermostat knob on «
O» = stopped.
3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.
4. Do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp
objects. Do not use a heat diffuser or spray.
5. Eliminate the water which formed during
defrosting by means of a sponge or cloth.
6. Clean inside using a normal detergent for
domestic use.
7. After cleaning, dry properly inside.
8. After completing the operations, turn the
thermostat knob to 5-6 and leave it on this
setting for 3-4 hours. After this period set the
knob to a normal position (medium).
9. Place the frozen food in the appliance again.
Refrigerator defrosting
Refrigerator defrosting is completely automatic.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into
a special container provided on top of the
compressor which is located at the back of the
appliance, where it evaporates.
Important
We particularly recommend the periodic cleaning of
the defrost water drain. Use the special cleaner
provided already inserted into the discharge hole
(Fig. 13).

MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Interior cleaning
Wash the interior of the appliance and its
accessories with lukewarm water and sodium
bicarbonate (one spoon in 4 litres of water).
Rinse and dry carefully.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not used, you
should remove the plug from the wall socket,
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories.
During the idle period leave the door slightly open,
thus letting air circulate and preventing the
formation of mould and unpleasant smells.
Replacing the interior light bulb
The light inside the refrigerator compartment is
easy to get at through the opening in the light
holder.
If the light does not go 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.
Fig. 14
D025
SOMETHING NOT WORKING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check
that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
electricity is delivered; and controls are set to the
correct position.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local dealer
or the nearest service centre.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you apply
for it you specify the model & serial number of your
appliance which can be found on the rating plate located
inside the appliance at the bottom on the left hand side.
