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).

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

Fig. 8

The walls of the

refrigerator are

equipped with a

series of runners

so that the

shelves can be

positioned as

desired.

D040

Positioning the door shelves

(Fig. 9)

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. 9).

Fig. 9

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.

D113

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. 10).

Fig. 10

When defrosting is completed, operation starts

automatically; however, the water should be

drained from the basin placed inside the meat

drawer (Fig. 11).

Fig. 11

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

compartment .

Do not use metal tools to remove these trays when they

are stuck-frozen inside the compartment.

MAINTENANCE

Prior to undertaking any maintenance operation, 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.

Interior light bulb

(Fig. 12)

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.
