Use

Energy savings tips:

• The room temperature affects the appliance's con-

sumption of electric current.

Therefore, avoid placing it near sources of heat or in

direct rays of sunlight.

If possible, choose a place that has a room temperatu-

re below the climate class indicated.

• Make sure there is sufficient ventilation.Do not cover

the ventilation slits.

• Do not cover the ventilation slits.

• Do not set a temperature lower than necessary.

• Let hot food products cool to room temperature before

placing them in the refrigerator.

• Put liquids inside covered containers only.

• Avoid keeping the refrigerator open unless it is neces-

sary.

• Clean the condensate regularly (see Defrosting and

Cleaning).

• Too thick a layer of frost causes needless consumption

of electric current. Small deposits of frost can be remo-

ved from time to time with a plastic scraper.

before loading the appliance.

The right temperature for loading food products to be coo-

led is +5°C.

Temperature adjustment

• By pressing one of the .+. (C) or .-. (E) buttons it is pos-

sible to switch from the actual temperature (the tempe-

rature indicator is lit and remains stationary) to the

nominal temperature (the temperature indicator blinks).

• By continuing to press one of the buttons, the nominal

temperature changes 1°C.

• If no button is pressed, the temperature indicator auto-

matically returns to the actual temperature after about

5 seconds.

Use

Temperature indicator

The temperature indicator gives a variety of information.

• During normal operation, it shows the temperature insi-

de the refrigerator compartment. (actual temperature).

• When setting the temperature, the temperature set for

the refrigerator compartment (nominal temperature) at

that moment blinks.

Caution: as many as 24 hours may be required before the

temperature indicator shows the actual temperature.

SUPERCOOL function

The SUPERCOOL function speeds up the cooling of fresh

food products while at the same time protecting those

already stored from undesirable heating. A nominal tem-

perature of +2°C is automatically pre-set.

• The function turns on by pressing the SUPERCOOL

button (I). The yellow indicator (H) lights up.

• It is possible to stop this function at any time by pres-

sing the SUPERCOOL button once again. The yellow

indicator turns off.

• If the SUPERCOOL function does not stop manually, it

is automatically cut off electronically after about 6

hours.

The SUPERCOOL function is deactivated if the elec-

tric current is cut off!

Temperature

There are different temperature zones in the refrigerator

compartment. The warmest zone is at the top, and the col-

dest zone is above the cover of the vegetable bins.

The internal temperature is influenced by the following

factors:

• Room temperature

• How often the door is opened

• Amount of food products stored

• Appliance setting

Switching off the appliance

To switch off the appliance, keep the EIN/AUS (ON/OFF)

button pressed until the temperature indicator turns off.

The selected temperature setting is stored, even if the

electric current is cut off.

Refrigerator compartment equipment

Inner door

The shelves of the inner door can be removed to be

moved or cleaned.

Shelves

The distance between shelves can be altered as one likes.

To remove the shelves, lift from the bottom and pull

forward until they move upwards or downwards and can

be pulled out. Put the shelves back in the desired position.

Bottle holder

The bottle holder clipped onto a shelf is used for storing

bottles and cans. To remove the bottle holder, lift the glass

shelf below and gently remove it.

Then remove the bottle holder and put the glass shelf

back in.

Use

Air humidity regulator

There is an adjustable ventilation grid in front of the sup-

port surface found above the fruit and vegetable bins.

The opening of the ventilation slits can be continuously

adjusted.

Right regulator: ventilation slits open.

Left regulator: ventilation slits closed.

When the ventilation slits are open, less air humidity forms

in the fruit and vegetable bins because more air circulates.

When the ventilation slits are closed, the natural content of

humidity of the food products in the fruit and vegetable

bins is kept longer.

Storing foods

Make sure that cold air can circulate when storing foods.

The products to be cooled must never be direct contact

with the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment.

They can freeze and partially remain stuck to the wall

when removed, thus preventing the dew from flowing

regularly.

Place foods such as cheese, cold cuts, fruit, vegetables,

previously cooked foods and prepared salads inside con-

tainers and cover them. In this way their natural freshness

and aroma will be maintained.

Foods must be stored according to the various temperatu-

re zones.

Butter, cheese

- in the inner door inside the butter dish and cheese hol-

der.

Eggs

- in the inner door

Fruit, vegetables, lettuce

- in the vegetable bins

Cold cuts, meat

- in the bottom zone (first shelf or covering above the

vegetable bin)

Dairy products, preserves, jars

- in the top zone or in the inner door

Bottles / tubes

- in the inner door

Using the freezer compartment

Important!

Do not open the refrigerator if the electric current is cut off!

Foods do not spoil if the appliance is full and the cutoff

lasts a short time (see further information under

“Preservation time in case of failure” in the catalogue or

advertising material). If the power cutoff continues, eat the

thawed foods within a short time. Preservation time drops

when the temperature of the frozen foods increases.

Starting the appliance

See “Starting the refrigerator compartment”

Temperature adjustment

To set the temperature, use the relevant buttons for both

the refrigerator and freezer compartments. See “Using the

refrigerator compartment”

The right temperature for frozen foods and those to be fro-

zen is -18°C.

SUPERFROST function

The SUPERFROST function speeds up the freezing of

fresh food products while at the same time protecting

those already

inside the compartment from undesirable heating.

- The function turns on by pressing the SUPERFROST

button

(G). The yellow indicator (F) lights up.

- It is possible to manually stop this function at any time

by pressing the SUPERFROST button once again. The

yellow indicator turns off.

- If the SUPERFROST function does not stop manually,

it is automatically cut off electronically after about 24

hours. The yellow indicator turns off.

The SUPERFROST function is deactivated if the elec-

tric current is cut off!

Maintenance

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any

maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

cooling unit maintenance and recharging must

therefore only be carried out by authorised techni-

cians.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

• Defrosting the refrigerator compartment is automatic.

The defrost water drains out through a trough into

a container at the back of the appliance, above the

motor compressor, where it evaporates.

• It is important to periodically clean the defrost water

drain hole.

Use

Temperature of the freezer compartment

The internal temperature is influenced by the following

factors:

- Room temperature

- How often the door is opened

- Amount of food products stored

- Appliance setting

Caution: Check the state of the frozen foods if the freezer

compartment heats up.

Freezing foods

To freeze foods, turn on the SUPERFROST function 24

hours before freezing. Just 4-6 hours are needed for a

lower quantity.

Freezer compartment equipment

Making ice cubes

The appliance lets you make ice cubes as well.

Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 and place it in the freezer com-

partment.

Put the tray under running water in order to easily remove

the ice cubes.

Freezer compartment

• Remove the frost with a plastic scraper,

• Whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 5 mm

complete

defrosting should be carried out.

Prooceed as follows:

• Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers

of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

• Pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the

ther-mostat knob to the «O» setting.

• Leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf of

the refrigerator compartment, under the drain hole,

remove the plug as shown in the figure.

• When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-

oughly and refit the plug.

• Turn the thermostat knob back to the required set-

ting or replace the plug in the power socket.

• Reload the previously removed food into the com-

partment.

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 arti-

ficial means to speed up the thawing process

other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your

appliance as it may get damaged.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly

perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to

clean the interior as these will damage the surface

and leave a strong odour.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of

soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly..

When the appliance is not in use

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors

ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Changing the light bulb

• Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off

the appliance and disconnect from the electricity sup-

ply.

Press on the rear hook and at the same time slide

the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Replace the lamp with one of the same power

(the maximum power is shown on the light

diffuser).

The technical data is indicated in the rating plate on the left side inside the appliance.

If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer com-

partment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 12 hours) and

the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short

time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period).

Something not Working

Problems may be due to causes which can easily be solved before calling the Technical Service. Please follow

these instructions:

Symptom

Solution

Door does not close

Weight surpasses the storage limit of the door shelf so spread weight

more evenly or take some products out.The appliance is not properly

installed. Please look in the “Building-in” section.

It is too warm inside the refrigerator

Set a lower temperature.

Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate around them.

Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating

strip is complete and clean.The temperature where the cabinet is pla-

ced is above normal room temperature.

It is too cold inside the refrigerator.

Set a warmer temperature.

The compressor works continuously.

Turn the thermostat knob to a lower number.

The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal

room temperature.

Check that the ventilation is sufficient and that the ventilation openings

are unobstructed. The cause could be the introduction of large quanti-

ties of food and/or frequent opening/closing of the door.

There is water inside/outside the refrigerator.

Sometimes is normal. During automatic defrosting frost thaws on the

cooling plate.

Water comes out on the floor.

Place the drain hose at the back of the cabinet above the drain bowl.

Noises

Sometimes this is normal. Temperature control may cause clicking

sounds when the

system is connected or disconnected.

The injected cooling gas may produce a gurgling sound while passing

through the tubes.

The motor may cause a humming noise and/or slight bumping.

The insulation material used has a tendency to slighly increase noise

levels, how ever it allows for much better insulation and a lower ener-

gy consumption.

Customer service and spare parts

Technical specifications

Installation

Take utmost care when handling your

appliance so as not to cause any damages to the

cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.

• During normal operation, the condenser and

compressor at the back of the appliance heat up

considerably. 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.

• Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must

be replaced by a special cord or assembly available

from the manifacturer or its service agent.

Positioning

• Unpack the cabinet and check that it is in good

condition and free of any transport damage.

• Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and

heat sources.

• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to

direct sunlight.

• For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be

as shown in Fig.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of

obstruction.

It is necessary that the niche is provided with a con-

duct of ventilation having the following dimensions:

Depth 50 mm

Width 540 mm

The climate classification can be found on the rating plate,

which is located inside the cabinet on the left hand

wall.

The following table shows which ambient tem-

perature is correct for each climate classification:

Climate classificati for an ambient temperature

SN + 10 to +32°C

N + 16 to +32°C

ST + 18 to +38°C

T + 18 to +43°C

When the ambient temperature is not included wit-

hin the range indicated for the class of this appli-

ance, the storage temperature in the appliance

cannot be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to

use the food stored as soon as possible.

Electrical connection

Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and fre-

quency shown on the serial number plate correspond

to your domestic power supply.

Voltage can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage.

For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized auto-

transformer must be used.

Important

The appliance must be earthed.

The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for

this purpose.

If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed.

connect the appliance to a separate earth in compli-

ance with current regulations, consulting a specialist

technician.

The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the

above safety precautions are not observed.

This appliance complies with the following E.E.C.

Directives:

-87/308 EEC of 2/6/87 relative to radio inter-

feren-ce suppression.

-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 modi-

fications.

Attention!

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the

mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily

accessible after installation.

Building-in

Dimensioned drawings

See “Installation Instructions“ supplied.

Please check whether, after installing your appliance and

especially after rehingeing the door, the door seal seals

right round. An untight door seal may lead to heavy frost-

ing and thereby to a higher power consumption.

Warning!

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 nor-

mal hairdrier.
