CHANGING THE OPENING DIRECTION OF DOORS AND PANELLING

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). Using a 10mm spanner, uns-

crew the hinge pin and reassemble it on the oppo-

site side.

 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.

How to panel the door

If your appliance is provided with metal strips for

panelling and you wish to do so proceed as follows:

 Remove one of the side strips.

 Loosen the screws of the remaining strips.

 Start putting on the panel where you took off the

strip pushing it right up to the end.

 Replace the strip on this side.

 Tighten all screws.

NOTE: The panel dimensions must be 2 mm. shorter

than the doors. Maximun thickness of the

panel is 4 mm.

HOW TO USE YOUR REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER

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

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.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated in the refrigerator.

Clean regularly the water drain opening «G», with its

accessory.

Cleaning

 Do not use alcohol or any cleaning product contai-

ning alcohol because it can damage the cabinet.

 Use lukewarm water and neutral soap or bicarbona-

te of soda for cleaning the interior and the exterior of

the appliance. Never use detergents nor abrasive

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.

Idle periods

During periods when the appliance is not in use take

the following precautions:

 Unplug the appliance.

 Remove all the food.

 Defrost and clean the interior and all accessories.

 Leave the door ajar to permit the air to circulate in

the interior and thus avoid unpleasant smells.

The gas used for cooling may produce a burbling

sound while running through the piping.

3. Compressor

May cause zumbing noises and/or slight bumping.

4. Insulation

The material used has a tendency to increase noises,

but it does insulate perfectly and is of low energy con-

sumption.
