INSTALLATION
If this refrigerator 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
Place the appliance as far away as possible from
sources of heat, e.g. radiators, heaters, direct sun-
light, etc. The best results are achieved with a room
temperature ranging from +18°C to +43°C (class T) or
from +18°C to +38°C (class ST). The class of your ap-
pliance is shown on its rating plate.
Power connection
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket,
check that the voltage and frequency indicated on the
appliance’s rating plate are the same as those provid-
ed by your home power supply.
A 6% fluctuation above or below rated voltage is ac-
ceptable.
For operation using different voltages you should use
an autotransformer of suitable capacity.
The appliance’s plug and the wall socket are fully
compatible, without any need to use adaptors, multi-
ple plugs, etc. If this is not the case, the wall socket
should be replaced to make it compatible.
The appliance MUST be connected to an efficient
earth or ground tap.
The supply lead plug in fact incorporates a special
earth or ground contact for this purpose. If by any
chance the sockets of your domestic wiring system
are not earthed, the appliance must be connected to a
separate earth or ground wire by a qualified electri-
cian, in accordance with existing safety regulations.
The manufacturer declines to accept any liability if
this accident-prevention procedure is not fol-
lowed.

USE
Operation - Temperature regulation
Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise until reaching
the desired position (beyond the «O» = stop position);
the best position is between 3 and 4.
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature (less
cold) by rotating the thermostat toward lower settings
or diminished (more cold) rotating the knob towards
higher settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping
in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator de-
pends on:
room temperature;
how often the door is opened;
the quantity of food stored;
location of appliance.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «O».
When the refrigerator is set for the coldest temper-
atures, with a high surrounding room temperature,
it will probably be in constant operation, with con-
sequent frosting of the back wall of the compart-
ment. If this does occur, the knob should be set to
obtain a slightly higher temperature. In this way
the refrigerator automatically defrosts, with a con-
siderable energy saving.
Storage of foods in refrigerator compart-
ment
To achieve the best results with the refrigerator com-
partment, 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 or contain aromatic herbs).
Do not cover the shelves (grids) with paper or plastic
since this blocks circulation of air in the compartment.
Place the food so as to allow air circulation.
Foods should be positioned inside the refrigerator
compartment as indicated in Figure 9.
1. Cold cuts, cheese, butter, milk
2. Meat and fish
3. Fruit and vegetables.
Fig. 9
Raw meat (of all types) should be stored in plastic
bags. Max. conservation time: 1-2 days.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc., should be well cov-
ered and can be placed on any grid.
Fruit and vegetables should be washed before being
stored in the specific drawer.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed,
must not be kept 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.

Storage door accessories
The shelves can be easily removed if they are to be
cleaned or positioned at different heights. To do that,
push them upwards (see Fig. 11).
Fig. 11
Freezing of fresh food and storage of fro-
zen food
The freezer compartment is marked with which
means that the compartment is suitable for the freez-
ing of fresh food and for the long term storing of fro-
zen food.
Freezing of fresh food
To freeze fresh food it is not necessary to change the
thermostat knob position from that of normal function-
ing.
To help you get the best out of the freezing process,
here are a few hints:
Place the food to be frozen on the glass shelves of the
freezer;
Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned
foods.
Split them into small portions to speed up freezing
and avoid having to thaw more food than you require.
Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring that
the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well
sealed.
It is a good idea to mark the packs with the date on
which freezing started so that you can keep a check
on storage periods.
On the inner freezer door of certain models you will
find schematic drawings of foods and animals indicat-
ing maximum storage time (in months) possible from
the time of freezing.
The foods for freezing should not be placed in contact
with already frozen foods. This would cause the tem-
perature of already frozen foods to rise.
During the freezing process, do not add further foods
for freezing and do not open the freezer door.
D434
Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might
well burst.
A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not be
eaten straight out of the freezer as this might cause
cold burns.
The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24
hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be
found in the refrigerator compartment on the bottom
left-hand side.
Storage of commercially frozen food
To get the best out of your freezer, you should ensure
that:
the products have been correctly stored by the re-
tailer;
you do not store products for longer than the time
specified by the food manufacturer;
avoid opening the door too frequently and when you
do open it, leave it open only for as long as is strictly
necessary.
If the freezer has been out of use for some time, be-
fore putting the products in the compartment let the
freezer run for at least two hours with the thermostat
knob on max. cold setting. After this, reset the freezer
for normal storage use.
If there happens to be a power failure during the
conservation of frozen food do not open the freez-
er door. If the freezer is completely full and the fail-
ure is short (from 10 to 12 hours), frozen products
will not be affected. Otherwise they should be
used up very quickly.
It is in fact important to remember that once the
foods have thawed out, they deteriorate fast and
cannot be re-frozen.
18
Freezer compartment defrosting
The air humidity that penetrates inside the appliance
when opening its door, accumulates on the evapora-
tor and particularly on its upper part, thus creating a
layer of frost. To avoid excessive formation of frost do
not leave the door open more than necessary.
The formation of a thin layer of frost (as for example
on the front edge of the freezer) does not require com-
plete defrosting. Eliminate this layer periodically using
a plastic scraper (do not use knives or sharp objects).
If a thick layer has formed it will be necessary to carry
out a complete defrosting as follows:
1. Take out all the frozen food and wrap it in newspa-
pers placing it in a container (basin or paper box,
etc.) in a cool place until the cleaning operations
have been completed.
2. Set the thermostat knob on «O» = stopped.
3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.
4. Do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp
objects. Do not use a heat diffuser or spray.
5. Eliminate the water which formed during defrosting
by means of a sponge or cloth.
6. Clean inside using a normal detergent for domestic
use.
7. After cleaning, dry properly inside.
8. After completing the operations, turn the thermo-
stat knob to 5-6 and leave it on this setting for 3-4
hours. After this period set the knob to a normal
position (medium).
9. Place the frozen food in the appliance again.
Refrigerator defrosting
Refrigerator defrosting is completely automatic. The
defrost water drains out through a trough into a spe-
cial container provided on top of the compressor
which is located at the back of the appliance, where it
evaporates.
Important
We particularly recommend the periodic cleaning of
the defrost water drain. Use the special cleaner pro-
vided already inserted into the discharge hole
(Fig. 12).

MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Interior cleaning
Wash the interior of the appliance and its accessories
with lukewarm water and sodium bicarbonate (one
spoon in 4 litres of water).
Rinse and dry carefully.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not used, you
should remove the plug from the wall socket, defrost
and clean the interior and all accessories. During the
idle period leave the door slightly open, thus letting air
circulate and preventing the formation of mould and
unpleasant smells.
Replacing the interior light bulb
The light inside the refrigerator compartment is easy
to get at through the opening in the light holder.
If the light does not go on when the door is open,
check that it is screwed into place properly.
If it still does not light up, change the bulb.
The rating is shown on the light bulb cover.
Fig. 13
D025
SOMETHING NOT WORKING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
electricity is delivered; and controls are set to the cor-
rect position.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local dealer or
the nearest service centre.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you
apply for it you specify the model & serial number
of your appliance which can be found on the rating
plate located inside the appliance at the bottom on
the left hand side.
