Servicing 23

INSTALLATION

If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to

replace an older appliance having a spring lock on

the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock

unusable before you discard the old appliance.

This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap

for a child.

Location

The appliance should be installed well away from

sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct

sunlight etc.

Best performance is obtained with ambient

temperature between +18°C and +43°C (class T);

+18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C (class

N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN).

The class of your appliance is shown on its rating

plate.

Make sure that there is nothing at the back, at the top

and at the bottom of the appliance to obstruct air

circulation.

For more efﬁcient operation of the appliance the

minimum distance between the top of the appliance

and other overhanging kitchen furniture, if any,

should be at least 100 mm (Fig. 1-A).

The best solution is shown in Fig. 1-B (without

overhanging kitchen furniture).

The appliance sides may also be in contact with the

kitchen furniture, provided that air can circulate freely

round the back and top.

One or more adjustable feet mounted on the base of

the appliance make it possible to set it perfectly level.

Rear spacers

The plastic bag containing all relevant documentation

also contains two spacers to be ﬁtted into special

holes in the back of the appliance.

Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure

that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in Fig. 2.

Then turn them through 45° (arrow (A) vertical) until

they lock into place.

Important

It is essential that the appliance be connected to an

efﬁcient earth tap. For this purpose the supply cable

plug incorporates a special earth contact. If the

sockets of your domestic wiring system are not

earthed, have the appliance connected to a separate

earth wire by a qualiﬁed electrician in accordance

with existing safety regulations.

The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the

above safety precautions are not observed.

This appliance complies with EEC directive

number 87/308 of 2/6/87 relative to radio

interference suppression.

This appliance complies with the following

E.E.C. Directives:

- 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

modiﬁcations.

Cleaning the interior

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.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these

will damage the ﬁnish.

Door reversal directions

Before starting work, unplug the appliance. To reverse

the opening direction of the door proceed as follows:

Remove the lower hinge (3), the pin (1), the washer

(4) and the screw (2);

slide the door out from the pin (5), remove the pin and

place it on the opposite side;

unscrew the foot front left and place it on the opposite

side;

unscrew the two screws which mask the holes for

ﬁxing the hinge on the front left side;

reassemble the door;

reﬁt the lower hinge (turning it 180°), the washer, the

pin and the screw on the opposite side, as shown in

the ﬁgure.

remove the handle, after having removed the screw

cover and reﬁt it on the opposite side.

The holes that are not used must be masked with the

plastic plugs removed.

Attention

After completion of the door reversibility operation,

check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. 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 normal hairdrier.

Fitting the door panel

(for models equipped with door frame)

To ﬁt the door panel, proceed as follows:

– remove the ﬁxing screws and remove the frame

side opposite the handle;

– loosen, without removing them, all remaining

screws ﬁxing the door frame;

– insert the panel from the side on which the frame

has been removed and push it fully in;

– reﬁt the frame side and tighten all the screws.

Note

The panel size should be 1-2 mm smaller than the

door; the maximum permissible panel thickness is

4 mm.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

The technical data is indicated in the rating plate on

the left side inside the appliance.

Electrical connection

Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and

frequency 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.

USE

Start-up - Temperature regulation

After plugging in the appliance, turn the thermostat

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

to the required position (beyond position «

O» - off).

A 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 bearing in mind that the

temperature inside the fridge depends on the

following factors:

room temperature;

number of times the door is opened;

amount of food stored;

location of the appliance.

To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat knob to

O».

At the lowest temperature setting, when the

appliance is full and room temperature is high, the

compressor may operate continuously and frost

forms on the evaporator of the frezeer

compartment. In this case, turn the knob to a less

cold setting so that the evaporator can be

automatically defrosted with a lower power

consumption.

Food refrigeration

To achieve the best results with the refrigerator

compartment, you should follow one or two very

simple rules:

Do not put warm foods or evaporating liquids in the

refrigerator. Cover or wrap foods (particularly if they

have a strong smell). Do not cover the shelves (grids)

with paper or plastic since this blocks circulation of

air in the compartment.

Hints for correct use

Raw meat: wrap in polythene bags and place on top

of the salad crisper and, for safety, only store in this

way for one or two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be

covered and stored on the fridge shelves.

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 as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be

stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Movable wire shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a

series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned

as desired.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,

the door shelves can be adjusted in height.

To make these adjustments proceed as follows:

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows

until it comes free, then reposition as required (Fig. 5-

6).

For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can be

removed by pulling it in the direction of the arrows,

then reﬁtting it in position (Fig. 6).

Defrosting

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator

of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor

compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost

water drains out through a trough (Fig. 7) into a

special container on the back of the appliance where it

evaporates.

Clean periodically the water drain hole (Fig. 7). Use

the special cleaner provided, which you will ﬁnd

already inserted into the drain hole.

Refrigeration of drinks

(for models ﬁtted with dispenser)

The dispenser for drinks refrigeration is located in the

storage door and can be easily removed for cleaning.

For dispenser use, press the glass forward against the

tap; when you remove the glass, the tap closes

automatically.

Let warm water cool in the dispenser and then clean

it. For proper cleaning, add a spoonful of sodium

bicarbonate to the water; open and close the tap

several times in order to remove sugar deposits and

ﬁnally empty the dispenser and rinse it with clean

water.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any

maintenance operation.

Periodic cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance

as it may get damaged.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of

soda.

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take

the following precautions:

remove the plug from the wall socket;

remove all food;

defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;

leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent

unpleasant smells.

Interior light bulb

The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment can

be reached as follows:

ª unscrew the light cover securing screws;

ª unhook the moving part by pressing it as shown in

the ﬁgure.

If the door is open and the light does not come on,

check that the bulb is properly screwed in; if it still

does not work, replace the bulb with one of the same

power.

The maximum rating is shown on the light cover.

SERVICING

If the appliance is not functioning properly check

that:

the plug is ﬁrmly in the wall socket and the mains

power switch is on;

there is no power failure; the control knob is in the

right position.

Furthermore, if the appliance seems too noisy check

that the sides are not touching furniture that can

transmit or amplify noise or vibration. Also, check

that the refrigerant unit does not vibrate.

If there is water on the fridge bottom, make sure the

defrost water drainage hole is not clogged (Fig. 7).

To clean the drainage hole use the special cleaner

provided, which you will ﬁnd already inserted into the

hole.

If your appliance is still not working properly after

making the above checks, contact your local dealer or

the nearest service center.

To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you

apply for it you specify the model and serial

number of your appliance which can be found on

the warranty certiﬁcate or inside the appliance on

the rating plate.
