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 15 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.

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.
GB
21
Freezing of fresh foods
To fast-freeze foods when the appliance has not been
in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the fast-
freeze setting for at least three hours before putting
the food to be frozen in the compartment.
If the appliance is already in operation, it should run
on the fast-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before
the food is put in the freezer. Once the food has been
placed in the freezer, the freezing operation can be
considered to be complete 24 hours later.
Once freezing is complete, the freezer must be reset
for normal storage use.
Food to be frozen must be placed in the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food which is freezable
in 24 hours is 16 kg.
To help you get the best out of the freezing process,
here are a few hints:
Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned
foods.
Split them into small portions to speed up freezing
and to avoid having to thaw more food than you
require.
It is in fact important to remember that once food has
thawed out, it deteriorates fast.
Another point to remember is that lean foods keep
better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces
storage time.
Wrap food in foil or polythene film, ensuring that the
wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well
sealed.
In this way, by avoiding contact with air, the colour
flavour and nutritional value of the food remains
intact.
Never freeze a higher quantity of food than the
maximum amount shown on the rating plate of the
appliance.
During the freezing process, do not add further food
for freezing and do not open the freezer door.
Food for freezing should not be placed in contact with
already frozen food. This will avoid the temperature
of already frozen food from rising.
Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might
well burst.
In addition, never put hot foods or liquids in the freezer
compartment and take care not to fill recipients up to the
brim if they are covered with a lid.
It is a good idea to mark the packs – or the cards on
the sliding drawers if your model has them – with the
date on which foods were frozen so that you can keep
a check on storage periods.
If accidental thawing occurs – due to a power cut for
example – food must be used up very quickly or else
cooked immediately and refrozen. If, however, the
power failure is relatively brief (from 6 to 8 hours)
and the freezer compartment is packed full, frozen
food will not suffer any damage.
The inner door of the freezer compartment shows
pictures of different types of food followed by a
figure. These figures indicate the maximum storage
time, in months, for each type of food.
Details of food being stored, can also be written in
pencil on a card located in a special holder in the
inner door.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let the
appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest
setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal
operating position.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on
cooling shelves. Pay careful attention not to exceed
load limit stated on the side of the upper
section (where applicable).
make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs
were adequately stored by the retailer;
be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred 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 indicated by the
food manufacturer.
Important
If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezer
compartment. The frozen food will not be affected
if the power cut is of short duration (up to 6-8
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).
22
Thawing
Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can
be thawed out either in the refrigerator or at room
temperature, depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces of food, such as hamburgers, chips, and
fish fingers, for example, can be cooked straight out of
the freezer, without any intermediate thawing
operation.
Clearly, cooking time will be marginally longer than
in the case of thawed food.
Ice cube trays
The freezer is provided with one or more ice cube
trays.
These trays should be filled with drinking water and
then placed in the freezer compartment.
Do not use metal tools to remove the trays when they
are stuck-frozen inside the compartment.
USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Operation
Turn the thermostat knob (F-Fig. 6) to a setting
between 2 and 4, which is usually the most
appropriate. However, the exact setting should be
chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside
the refrigerator depends on:
room temperature;
how often the door is opened;
the quantity of food stored in the refrigerator;
location of appliance.
As in the case of the freezer, it might be necessary to
turn the knob to higher settings to obtain a lower
refrigeration temperature or, vice versa, to lower
settings to increase the refrigeration temperature.
To stop the fridge, set the thermostat knob to position
«
O». The freezer will continue to work.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator;
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
Position food so that air can circulate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on
the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at
the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and 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.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
23
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the glass shelves can be
positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.
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. 7).
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. 8).

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. 9) into a
special container on the back of the appliance, where
it evaporates.
In the freezer compartment however, the frost should
be removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power or to remove the foods from the
compartment.
Do not use sharp instruments to scrape off frost to
avoid damaging the appliance.
If a thick layer of ice is formed it will be necessary to
carry out complete defrosting as follows:
set the knob (D) to «
O» or unplug the appliance from
the mains socket;
wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and
place the food packages in a cool place.
Leave the door open. Insert the plastic scraper in the
appropriate seating, place a basin underneath to
collect the defrost water (Fig. 10).
After complete defrosting thoroughly dry the
refrigerator compartment.
Keep the scraper for future use.
Reconnect the appliance to the power supply, start it
up and, after two or three hours, replace the foods
previously removed from the freezer.
Important
Remember that an increase in the surface temperature
of already-frozen foods may significantly decrease
their storage life.
We particularly recommend that you periodically
clean the defrost-water drainage hole, located in
the centre of the drainage groove in the
refrigerator compartment (Fig. 9) to prevent the
defrost water from overflowing onto foods stored
in the compartment. Use the special cleaner
provided, which you will find already inserted into
the drainage hole.

MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Periodic cleaning
Wash the interior with lukewarm water and sodium
bicarbonate, and clean the painted components with
silicone wax; clean the condenser and the motor
compressor with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This
operation will improve the operation of the appliance
and save energy.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not used, you
should take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food from the appliance;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door slightly open, thus letting air circulate
and preventing the formation of mould and unpleasant
smells.
Interior light
The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment can
be reached as follows:
- unscrew the light cover securing screw.
- unhook the moving part as shown in the figure.
Fig. 11
D731
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. 9).
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
