OPERATION
The freezer compartment of this model is of the
«frost-free» type. This means that no frosting oc-
curs on the inner walls of the compartment or on
food during operation. The absence of frosting is
achieved by constant circulation of cold air inside
the compartment, produced by an automatic fan
blower.
Refrigerator/Freezer - Starting-up and
Temperature Regulation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, to be found on the upper right side of the inner
liner, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position, to
start the appliance.
Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the
thermostat knob to the required setting. A medium
setting is generally the most suitable.
However, the thermostat knob setting should be ad-
justed depending on the temperature required inside
the appliance. This, in turn, depends on a number of
factors such as the ambient temperature, the number
of times the door is opened, the quantity of food
stored and the location of the appliance.
Turn the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to obtain
a lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a higher tem-
perature is required.
Important:
If the ambient temperature is high and the appliance is
set to the lowest temperature, 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 for
automatic defrosting and consequently a saving in
electricity consumption.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cov-
er or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong fla-
vour.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): 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.
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 pol-
ythene 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 shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.
Fig. 12
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 off, then reposition as required.
Fig. 13
Freezing fresh food
The compartment marked by the 4-star symbol
is suitable for freezing fresh food. This proc-
ess permits long-term storage of food that cannot be
consumed rapidly.
To freeze fresh food, it is not necessary to change the
thermostat knob setting from normal. If you require
fast freezing, instead, you should turn the thermostat
knob to the coldest setting. In this case, though, be
sure that the temperature in the refrigerator compart-
ment does not drop below zero.
Place the food to be frozen in the bottom basket of
the freezing compartment.
To obtain the best result from the freezing process,
here are some useful hints:
D040
D450
15
Freeze only high-quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
food; prepare the food to be frozen in small portions.
This not only ensures rapid freezing, but it also ena-
bles you to use a part of the product instead of having
to wastefully thaw the entire piece.
Remember that lean foods last longer and better than
fat foods, and that salt will reduce their storage life.
Wrap all foods in aluminium foil or polythene bags,
and make sure the wrapping is hermetically sealed
and air is excluded: this will help preserve colour, taste
and nutritional value of the food.
Do not freeze fresh foods, all at the same time, in a
quantity exceeding that shown on the appliance’s rat-
ing plate.
Mark the packs with contents and dates so that you
can keep a check on storage periods.
During the freezing process, do not add new food to
be frozen and do not open the door frequently. The
freezing process may be regarded as completed after
24 hours from its beginning.
On the door liner of the 4-star compartment
you will find a pictorial guide with numbers shown
next to each type of meat or food, and these numbers
indicate the approximate storage times in months
from the freeze-in date.
Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) or
warm food in the freezer compartment and do not fill
covered containers to the brim.
If during the storage of frozen food there is a power
cut, it is advisable to use up the food within a short
time or to cook it immediately and then freeze it again.
Frozen food storage
The compartment marked by the symbol is
also suitable for storing ice cream and frozen food.
To obtain the best results, make sure – first of all – that
the frozen food to be stored has been kept at the
proper temperature in the shop.
Also, wrap frozen food in newspaper when you buy it
and get it home and store as soon as possible.
When the appliance is used for the first time or after
an idle period, it is necessary to let it run for at least
two hours with the thermostat knob on the coldest
setting before placing any frozen food in this compart-
ment, then turn the thermostat knob back to the nor-
mally required setting.
Important
Do not exceed the recommended storage times given
on the packets by the producer of commercially-fro-
zen food;
avoid opening the door too often and do not leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
If there is a power failure, do not open the door during
the whole time of the failure. If the compartment is ful-
ly loaded, frozen food is not affected if the power fail-
ure is short. Otherwise it is recommended to use the
food within 24 hours.
Thawing
Deep-frozen and 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 of food – such as hamburg-
ers, cutlets, chips, and fish fingers, for example – can
be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer; in this
case, though, cooking will take longer.
Ice cube trays
This refrigerator features ice cube trays.
These trays should be filled with drinking water and
then placed in the freezer compartment.
Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed straight
from the freezer.
Defrosting
The inner walls of the freezer are automatically de-
frosted every 8 hours.
In the case of the refrigerator, the evaporator is auto-
matically defrosted every time the compressor stops
operating.
The water produced by defrosting flows away – in the
case of both the freezer and refrigerator compart-
ments – through special drainage grooves into a con-
tainer positioned at the back of the appliance above
the compressor where it then evaporates.
We particularly recommend that you periodically
clean the defrost-water drainage outlet, located in
the center of the drainage groove (Figure 14) in the
refrigerator compartment, to prevent the defrost
water form overflowing on to foods stored in the
compartment.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the discharge hole.

MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Periodic cleaning
Clean out the interior periodically with lukewarm water
and some bicarbonate of soda.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not in use, e.g.
when you are going away on summer vacations, we
suggest you take the following precautions:
Pull out the plug from the wall socket;
Remove all food from the appliance;
Carefully clean the interior and all movable parts;
Leave the door ajar to facilitate the circulation of air in
the interior so as to prevent the formation of unpleas-
ant 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.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING...
What to do if the appliance is not functioning properly.
If something is not working properly, check that:
The plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on:
There is an electricity supply (find out by plugging in
another appliance);
The thermostat knob is not on the «
O
» position.
Furthermore:
If there are water drops on the bottom of the refrigera-
tor check that the defrost water drain opening is not
obstructed.
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 ap-
ply for it you specify the model & serial number of your
appliance which can be found on the rating plate, in-
side the cabinet.
