tane (R 600a) that is inflammable and
explosive to a greater extent.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appli-
ance enclosure or in the built-in structure,
clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other
means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the
food storage compartments of the appli-
ance, unless they are of the type recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
23
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the
finish.
Remove safety elements used for trans-
portation.
Before Use
Insert the plug into the wall socket and
turn the thermostat knob clockwise
beyond position «O» (OFF).
The thermostat control situated inside the
fridge compartment regulates the temper-
ature of the appliance.
Turn the thermostat control to the
required setting.
Wait 4 hours before connecting the appli-
ance to allow the oil to flow back in the com-
pressor.
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and
some neutral soap so as to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product, then
dry thoroughly.
Starting the appliance
Temperature Control
The following effects are of significance in
respect of the interior temperature:
Ambient temperature
Quantity and temperature of the food
stored;
Frequency with which the door is opened
and how long it is left open
the location of the appliance.
The temperature inside the appliance is
automatically adjusted.
Setting “1” = hightest temperature,
warmest setting
Setting “6” = lowest temperature, cold-
est setting.
Setting “ ” = Off
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
24
Internal Parts
Storage shelves
The shelves can be removed for cleaning.
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the shelves can be placed
at different heights.
To remove the internal shelf pull forward
until it can be tipped up or down and
removed.
Please do the same in reverse to insert
the shelf at a different height.
The glass shelf above the vegetable
drawers and the bottle shelf should
always remain in position, to ensure
correct air circulation.
Door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the central door shelf can
be adjusted in height.
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of
the arrows until it comes free, then repo-
sition as required.
For more thorough cleaning, the top and
bottom door sheves can be easily
removed and refitted in position.
Saving Energy
Pay careful attention to where the cabinet
is placed. See the section Installation.
When installed correctly the cabinet will
consume less energy.
Try to avoid keeping the doors open for
long periods or opening the doors too fre-
quently as warm air will enter the cabinet
and cause the compressor to switch on
unnecessarily often.
Hints
If the ambient temperature is high, the ther-
mostat knob is on the coldest setting (high-
er numbers) and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run continu-
ously, causing frost or ice to form on the
evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob
to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to
allow automatic defrosting and so a saving
in electricity consumption.
Do not place warm foods inside the appli-
ance. Allow warm foods to cool first.
Keep the heat emitting condenser, the met-
all grille on the rear wall of your appliance,
always clean.
25
Do not store warm food or evaporating liq-
uids in the refrigerator and do cover or
wrap up the food, particularly if it has a
strong smell.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly,
here are some useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry):
wrap in polythene bags and place on top
of the salad compartment, this being the
coldest spot in the refrigerator.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way
for one or two days at the most.
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.:
these should be well covered and can be
stored on any of the glass shelves.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thor-
oughly cleaned and placed in the bottom
drawer/s.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed
in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep
out as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a top and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the refrig-
erator
Hints for refrigeration
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
the maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating
plate;
the freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be added
during this period;
only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-
oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
prepare food in small portions to enable it
to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw
only the quantity required;
wrap up the food in aluminium foil or poly-
thene and make sure that the packages
are airtight;
do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food which is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in temperature of the latter;
lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food;
water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment,
can possibly cause the skin to be freeze
burnt;
it is advisable to show the freezing in date
on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
26
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer;
be sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-
ferred from the foodstore to the freezer in
the shortest possible time;
not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly
and cannot be refrozen.
Do not exceed the storage period indicat-
ed by the food manufacturer.
Explanation of the cold zonesigns
The symbol shown here on the left
indicates the coldest point inside your
refrigerator.
Coldest area: below or equal to +4°C
Meat, poultry, fish, cold cuts, ready-to-eat
meals, mixed salads, egg or cream based
mixes and cakes, fresh pasta, cake mixes,
pizzas/quiches, fresh foods and fresh-milk
cheeses, vegetables ready to be used and
packed in plastic bags and all other fresh
foods whose expiry date is associated with a
preservation temperature below or equal to
+4°C.
T
emperatur indicator
Thermostat must be Right Temperature
adjusted
With the temperature indicator you can keep
a check that your refrigerator is working prop-
erly.
The indicator shows the "OK" symbol when
the coldest area reaches a temperature that
is below or equal to 4ˇC.
If the temperature is higher than 4ˇC the indi-
cator is black so you must adjust the thermo-
stat to make the temperature drop.
ATTENTION: Keeping the refrigerator door
open for a long time will cause the internal
temperature to rise. To measure the tempera-
ture correctly, it should be read on the indica-
tor within 30 seconds.
27
Unplug the appliance before carry-
ing out any maintenance opera-
tion.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by autho-
rised technicians.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling
chamber in form of frost and ice goes with
the operation of the refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect,
so it reduces cooling efficiency as the tem-
perature increases, it needs more energy, at
a certain thickness it does not allow the door
of the frozen food compartment to open,
possibly the door can be broken.
At this type of appliance defrosting fresh
food compartment is automatic without any
external intervention.
The thermostatic control interrupts the opera-
tion of compressor at regular intervals for
more or less time - during this cooling is
interrupted - temperature of the fresh food
compartment increases and defrosting
occurs. After defrosting the thermostatic
control restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water
outlet into the evaporative tray maintained on
the top of compressor and evaporates due to
warmth of it.
Check and clean the outlet of
melting water coming during
defrosting regularly. If it is
clogged the melting water gath-
ered can cause earlier failure as it
can go to the insulating of the
appliance.
Maintenance
Clean the melting water outlet with the sup-
plied pipe scraper that can be seen in the fig-
ure. The pipe scraper has to be stored in the
outlet.
Occasionally check defrost water outlet not to
be clogged up.
The most typical case of clogging up in the
defrost water outlet when you put food
wrapped in some paper into the appliance
and this paper contacts back plate of fresh
food compartment and freezes to it. If you
remove the food right at this moment the
paper will tear and it can cause clogging up
in the outlet by getting into it. So you are
asked to be careful - because of the above -
when placing foods wrapped in paper into the
appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g. dur-
ing heatwaves, the refrigerator tem-
porarily happens to operate constant-
ly. During this the automatic defrosting
is ineffective.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back
plate of the fresh food compartment after
defrosting period is not abnormal.
The frozen food compartment can not be
equipped with automatic defrosting set since
the deep-frozen and frozen foods do not
endure melting temperature.
Provided it is not too thick, the layer of frost
or ice can be scraped off and removed using
a plastic scraper.
When ice coating is so thick that it can not be
removed with the plastic scraper, the frozen
food compartment has to be defrosted (gen-
erally 2-3 times a year).
28
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity
supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance,
leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant
smells.
Should the light fail to work you can change it
as below:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Unscrew the plate screw fixing the lamp
cover, then take the lamp cover off in the
direction of arrow and the bulb can be
changed. (Type of the bulb: Mignon 322,
230 V, 15 W, E 14 thread)
How to change the bulb
After changing bulb replace the lamp cover,
screw the plate screw and apply voltage to
the appliance.
The lack of light does not influence operation
of the refrigerator.
Take the foods out of the frozen and fresh
food compartment, wrap them into some lay-
ers of paper or cloth. Put them to a possible
cool place while defrosting.
Break the circuit of the appliance and leave
the doors of frozen and fresh food compart-
ment open.
Continuously blot off the defrosting water by a
soft cloth or sponge.
After defrosting wipe the surfaces, apply volt-
age to the appliance and put the foods back
to their places.
It is recommended to operate the appliance
at the highest position of the thermostatic
control so that it can reach the proper storing
temperature as soon as possible.
Cleaning
Never use metal objects for clean-
ing 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 bicar-
bonate of soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge,
once a year remove the ventilation grill at the
base and clean the air channels with a vacu-
um cleaner.
29
Something not Working
Problems may be due to causes which
can easily be solved before calling the
Technical Service. Please follow these
instructions:
SYMPTOM
Door does not close
It is too warm inside the refrig-
erator
It is too cold inside the refriger-
ator.
The compressor works contin-
uously.
There is water inside/outside
the refrigerator.
Water comes out on the floor.
Noises
SOLUTION
Level properly the appliances if it is not well levelled.
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.
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 placed is above normal room tem-
perature.
Turn the temperature regulator to a warmer setting temporarily.
Turn the thermostat knob to a lower number.
The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room tem-
perature.
Check that the ventilation is sufficient and that the ventilation openings
are unobstructed.
The cause could be the introduction of large quantities of food and/or
frequent opening/closing of the door.
Sometimes is normal. During automatic defrosting frost thaws on the
cooling plate.
Place the drain hose at the back of the cabinet above the drain bowl.
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 lev-
els, how ever it allows for much better insulation and a lower energy con-
sumption.
30
