CHANGING THE OPENING DIRECTION OF DOORS AND PANELLING
GB
17
If you wish to change the opening side of the doors
proceed as follows:
Remove the handles of the doors, if they are side
fixing by screws (1).
Take off the plinth pressed onto cabinet. (In some
models) (2).
Remove the lower hinge taking care for the lower
door not to fall off (3).
Lift the lower door off the central hinge (4).
Remove the central hinge taking care for the upper
door no to fall off and not to lose the plastic washer
(5).
Take the upper door off the upper hinge. Be carefull
not to lose the plastic washer (6).
Unscrew the plastic plugs located on the opposite
side of the central hinge and introduce them in the
holes occupied before by the hinge (7).
Unscrew the axle of the upper hinge and screw it
into the hinge on the opposite side. Make sure to fit
in the metal washer for blocking (8).
Place upper door.
For the remaining parts proceed the other way round.
Once finished make sure that all joints close per-
fectly well all around the door and check that the
internal light turns of when the fridge door closes.

than the doors. Maximun thickness of the
panel is 4 mm.

HOW TO USE YOUR REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER
GB
19
Freezer Compartment:
This freezer, marked , is suitable for
freezing food and permits long term storage of fro-
zen food.
Freezing of food:
Congelation has to take place in the shortest pos-
sible time, 24 hours maximum. For that you have to
proceed as follows:
Push the button «N» to freeze fresh food.
If the freezer was disconnected and empty, 3
hours before introducing the food to be frozen.
If the freezer is already working and has food in it,
24 hours before putting in the food to be frozen.
The maximum amount to be frozen in 24 hours is
that specified in «Technical Features».
Put the food to be frozen into lower compartment of
freezer. The tray at the top can also be used for this
purpose.
Red light «M» may be on for a few hours during fre-
ezing process.
Switch-on time for this light will vary according to
amount of food being put in for congelation and
time while door remains open.
Once 24 hours from the introduction of the food
have elapsed the congelation can be considered as
finished.
Push the button «N» again in order to set the
appliance back to «conservation» mode.
Conservation of frozen food:
For a safe storage of food the temperature inside the
freezer compartment should never rise above -
18°C.
An automatic device regulates this temperature.
Make sure the «Temperature Regulator» is in a
medium setting.
However, it may sometimes be necessary (due to
poor ventilation, high room temperature, frequent
opening of the door) to vary the setting of the
«Temperature Regulator».
In case of an accidental stop of the appliance or a
power cut proceed as follows:
Keep the doors closed at all events.
Try to find out for how long the failure is goint to last.
Once normality is reestablished:
A) If the freezer is full and the power failure is less
than «Temperature Rising Time» indicated for
each model in «Technical Features» no damage
has been done to the food store.
B) If the freezer is not full the cold will be lost in a
shorter time If thawing has not yet started proce-
ed as said in previous point.
C) If thawing has started, consume the food inme-
diately, or cook it and then freezen it again.
Refrigerator Compartment:
This compartment is meant for keeping drinks and
fresh food.
The inner temperature is quite equalized. Avoid
food touching inner walls, as the cold is being pro-
duced in there and the food could partly get frozen.
On the other hand this would prevent a good circula-
tion of the cold air.
This appliance is provided with an automatic defros-
ting divice. Therefore you might find sometimes a fine
layer of ice or water drops.
Useful Hints:
Do not introduce any new food during a freezing
period.
Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing
near to already frozen food.
Wrap the food up properly or place it in hermethic
recipies before introducing it into the freezer.
Do not introduce any hot food into the freezer.
Food and drinks of a strong flavour may pass this
on to others and affect their flavour. Wrap them up
adequately or put them into tight closing bags.
Follow the instructions given in the cook books,
freezing books and wrapping utensiles for better
conservation of food.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER
GB
20
Prior to undertaking any maintenance operation,
be sure to unplug the appliance.
Defrosting of the freezer
The inner walls of the freezer become gradually cove-
red with a layer of frost keeping in mind not to open
the door frequently and keeping the food wrapped up
in closed bags.
Whenever the thickness of ice reaches 5 mm. the frost
should be removed. Hereto proceed as follows:
Remove all food staff and place it in the coolest pos-
sible place.
Place the Plastic Scraper (supplied with the applian-
ce) into the existing slot above the plinth.
Place a bowl under the outlet to collect the water.
Pull out the drawers and the upper tray.
Under no circumstances should you try and tear off
the ice formed, wait for it to melt away.
Once the ice eliminated and the appliance is clean
and dry, remove the plastic scraper and replace the
drawers and the upper tray.
Plug in the appliance.

powders.
Clean the black grill on the read of the appliance
(condenser), motor and the upper and downer ven-
tilation slots with a brush or vacuum cleaner. This
way the performance of the appliance will improve
and energy consumption reduced.
Clean the water container above the motor.
Extract the base pulling it outwards in order to per-
mit cleaning undermeath the appliance.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not in use take
the following precautions:
Unplug the appliance.
