INSTALLATION

If this model, equipped with a magnetic door lock,

replaces an old appliance with a catch, ensure that

the latter cannot be used before discarding it to

prevent children being trapped inside.

Positioning

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 +38°C.

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.

The appliance must be earthed.

The power supply cable plug is provided with a

contact for this purpose. If the domestic power

supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance

to a separate earth in compliance with current

regulations, consulting a specialist technician.

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 inside

Before using, clean all inside parts with warm water

and neutral soap to remove the typical new smell.

Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive detergent or

powders as these can damage the ﬁnish.

USE

Operation - regulating the temperature

Turn the thermostat dial, positioned at the top right

of the compartment, clockwise to the required

position (beyond the «

O» position «STOP»); the

most suitable setting is between 2 and 4.

The temperature is automatically regulated; it can

be increased by turning the dial towards the lower

numbers and vice versa.

When selecting the correct position, remember that

the internal temperature depends on the following

factors: ambient temperature, how often the door is

opened, the amount of food stored, where the

appliance is installed.

To switch off, turn the dial until it coincides with the

«O» symbol.

If the ambient temperature is high and the

appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may

run continuously causing frost to form on the rear

wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher

temperature to allow for automatic defrosting and

consequently a saving in electricity consumption.

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.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are

some more useful hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in

polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper

and, for safety, only store in this way one or two

days at the most.

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 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. 10).

Fig. 10

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. 11).

Defrosting

The refrigerating compartment evaporator is

automatically defrosted every time the compressor

stops. The water drains out through a channel and

is collected in a container at the back above the

compressor where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrosting

water drain hole in the middle of the refrigeration

compartment channel (Fig. 12) to prevent the water

overﬂowing and dripping onto the food inside.

Use the special cleaner provided, which you will ﬁnd

already inserted into the discharge hole.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any

maintenance operation.

Periodic cleaning

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate

of soda.

Periods of non-use

If you are not using the appliance for any length of

time, the following precautions should be taken:

unplug the appliance; take all food out; defrost and

clean the inside and all the accessories; leave the

door ajar so that air can circulate inside in order to

prevent unpleasant smells forming.

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.

SERVICING

If a fault occurs, check the following before calling

the Servicing Department:

The light does not come on when you open the door.

Check that the bulb is powered. If the electricity

supply is OK, replace the bulb.

The compressor does not work.

Check that it is powered. Check that the thermostat

is in operative mode.

The compressor runs continuously.

The thermostat is set too high.

Traces of water on the bottom of the refrigeration

compartment.

Check that the defrosting water discharge hole is

not obstructed (Fig. 12).

If the fault persists after carrying out the above

checks, call your nearest Servicing Centre.

For quick service it is important when telephoning

to give the number of the model and the serial

number, both of which can be found on the serial

number plate inside at the bottom left of the

appliance.
