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 «
O
» - 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 «
O
».
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

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
(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.
Fig. 12

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 a noise or a vibration. Also, check that the
refrigerant unit does not vibrate.
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
