TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

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

USE

Start-up - temperature regulation

After plugging the appliance, turn the thermostat knob

located at the top right of the fridge, clockwise to the

required position (apart from position «

» - off).

Medium setting is recommended.

Temperature is kept constant automatically and can

be increased by turning the knob to lower numbers, or

reduced by turning it to higher numbers.

Proper setting is achieved by keeping in mind that the

temperature inside the fridge depends on the

following factors:

room temperature;

number of times the door is opened;

quantity of food stored;

location of the appliance.

To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat knob to «

».

In this refrigerator the refrigerating compartment

temperature may be regulated not only by using the

thermostat but also by operating on the bafﬂeplate

placed under the evaporator (Fig. 6).

To obtain a lower temperature move the bafﬂeplate

forward, to obtain a higher temperature move it

backward. It is advisable to move the bafﬂeplate

backward when the room temperature is lower than

+20

C (Fig. 7).

Refrigeration of food

The refrigerator compartment is used to store foods

and drinks.

For best results, see the following 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 with paper or plastic since

this blocks circulation of air in the compartment.

Moreover:

cooked foods, cold dishes, jelly, etc. should be

covered and can be stored on any shelf.

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

polythene bags to exclude air as much as possible.

milk bottles:

these should have a cap and should be

stored in the bottle rack on the door.

raw meat:

it should be placed in plastic bags and

stored on the drawer below the evaporator.

Bananas, potatoes, onion and garlic, if not packed up,

must not be placed 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.

Fig. 8

Storage of frozen food

The compartment is also suitable for the

storage of frozen foods; in this case follow these

simple rules:

Turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting (if the

room temperature is lower than 20°C it is necessary

to arrange the bafﬂeplate so as to obtain a higher

temperature in the refrigerating compartment).

Remember that, in this condition, the refrigerating

compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If

this occurs reset the thermostat knob to a warmer

setting.

Make sure that the frozen foods have been correctly

stored by the retailer.

Make sure that the interval between the time when

you buy the frozen foods and when you put them in

the freezer is short.

Do not exceed the dates of expiry marked on the

packages by the manufacturer.

After a period when the appliance is not used, make it

run for at least two hours with the thermostat knob

turned to the coldest setting before placing the frozen

foods in it.

If in the evaporator are not stored frozen foods, to

obtain a lower power consumption and a better

refrigeration of the foods it is advisable to arrange the

bafﬂeplate so as to obtain a lower temperature in the

refrigerating compartment.

Defrosting

During operation, the evaporator of the refrigerator

compartment gets covered with frost which must be

removed because, being a thermal insulator, prevents

the even distribution of cold.

If it is not removed, the temperature inside the fridge

increases with a higher power consumption.

To carry out defrosting proceed as follows:

Press the button in the middle of the thermostat knob

(Fig. 9).

Fig. 9

D214

When defrosting is completed, operation starts

automatically; however, the water should be drained

from the basin placed inside the meat drawer

(Fig. 10).

Defrosting should be carried out when the

compartment is empty.

Ice cubes

The appliance includes one or more trays for

producing ice cubes. These trays should be ﬁlled with

drinking water and repositioned inside the relative

compartment.

Do not use metal tools to remove these trays when

they are stuck-frozen inside the compartment.

be sure to unplug the appliance from the wall

socket as a safety precaution.

Periodical cleaning

Clean the interior periodically with lukewarm water

and some sodium bicarbonate;

clean the cabinet exterior with a silicone wax spray;

clean the condenser and the motor compressor with a

brush or a vacuum cleaner.

This will improve the appliance operation,

consequently reducing power consumption.

Idle periods

During periods when the appliance is not in use, take

the following precautions:

unplug the appliance from the power supply;

remove all foodstuffs from the appliance;

clean the interior and all accessories;

leave the doors ajar to facilitate the circulation of air in

the interior of the cabinet so as to prevent unpleasant

odours from accumulating in the appliance.
