OPERATION
Starting-up
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the door and turn the thermostat control knob,
to be found on the upper right hand side of the inner
compartment, clockwise beyond position «O» (OFF)
to start the appliance.
Temperature control
Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the
thermostat knob clockwise until its pointer coincides
with the required setting.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
The minimum setting (least cold) is represented by the
lowest number and the maximum setting (coldest) by
the highest number.
In any case, bear in mind that the temperature can be
either increased (warmer) by turning the thermostat
knob anticlockwise or decreased (colder) by turning it
clockwise.
The thermostat knob setting should be adjusted de-
pending on the inner temperature of the refrigerator,
which, in turn, depends on a number of factors, such
as: the ambient temperature, the number of times the
door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the lo-
cation of the appliance.
Warning
When the thermostat is on the coldest setting and the
ambient temperature is particularly high, the compres-
sor may run continuously. Under these circumstances,
ice may build up on the evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment. In this case, turn the thermostat knob
to a warmer setting to ensure an adequate defrosting.
Fresh food refrigeration
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for cooling
drinks and for normal food storing.
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do
cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a
strong smell.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some useful hints:
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be
well covered and can be stored on any of the glass
shelves.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special air-
tight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or poly-
thene bags to keep out as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in poly-
thene bags and place on top of the salad compart-
ment, this being the coldest spot in the refrigerator.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or
two days at the most.
Inner arrangement
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.
Fig. 11
D040

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 off, then reposition as required.
Fig. 12
Freezing fresh food
The compartment marked by the 4-star symbol
is suitable for the long-term storage of frozen foods
and for freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh food, it is not necessary to change the
thermostat knob setting from normal. If you require
fast freezing, however, turn the thermostat knob to the
coldest setting. In this case, though, be sure that the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not
drop below zero.
To obtain best results from the freezing process, here
are some useful hints:
Place the food to be frozen in the top basket of the
freezing compartment as this is the coldest part.
The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in
24h is stated on the rating plate.
Freeze only high-quality, fresh and thoroughly clean
food; prepare the food to be frozen in small portions.
This not only ensures rapid freezing, but it also ena-
bles you to use a part of the produce instead of having
to wastefully thaw the entire piece.
Remember that lean foods last longer and better than
fat foods, and that salt will reduce their storage life.
Wrap all foods in aluminium foil or polythene bags,
and make sure the wrapping is hermetically sealed
and air is excluded: this will help preserve colour, taste
and nutritional value of the food.
Do not freeze fresh foods all at the same time, in a
quantity exceeding that shown on the appliance’s rat-
ing plate.
Mark the packs with contents and freezing dates so
that you can keep a check on storage periods.
During the freezing process, do not add new food to
be frozen, do not let food to be frozen come into con-
tact with already frozen food and do not open the door
frequently. The freezing process may be regarded as
completed after 24 hours from its beginning.

Important
Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) or
warm food in the freezer compartment and do not fill
covered containers to the brim.
Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed straight
from the freezer.
If during the storage of frozen food there is a power
cut, it is advisable to use up the food within a short
time or to cook it immediately and then freeze it again.
Frozen food storage
The compartment marked by the symbol is
also suitable for storing ice cream and frozen food.
To obtain the best results, make sure – first of all – that
the frozen food to be stored has been kept at the
proper temperature in the shop.
Also, wrap frozen food in newspaper when you buy it
and get it home and store as soon as possible.
When the appliance is used for the first time or after
an idle period, it is necessary to let it run for at least
two hours with the thermostat knob on the coldest
setting before placing any frozen food in this compart-
ment, then turn the thermostat knob back to the nor-
mally required setting.
Important
Do not exceed the recommended storage times given
on the packets by the producer of commercially-fro-
zen food.
Avoid opening the door too often and do not leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
If there is a power failure, do not open the door during
the whole time of the failure. If the compartment is ful-
ly loaded, frozen food is not affected provided the
power failure is short. Otherwise it is recommended
that the food be used within 24 hours.
Thawing
Deep-frozen and frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature depending on the time available for this
operation. Small pieces of food – such as hamburg-
ers, chops, chips and fish fingers, for example – can
be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer; in this
case, though, cooking will take longer.
Ice cube trays
The trays should be filled up to three-quarters of their
height with drinking water and then placed in the
freezer compartment.
17
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 into a
special container at the back of the appliance, over
the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water over-
flowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole.
Fig. 13
D037
The freezer compartment, however, will become pro-
gressively covered with frost. This should be removed
with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever
the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means
to speed up the thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the in-
ner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as
follows:
pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the ther-
mostat knob to the «O» setting;
remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place;
leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf of
the refrigerator compartment, under the drain hole, lift
the plug as shown in the figure;
Fig. 14
when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and refit the plug;
keep the scraper for future use;
turn the thermostat knob back to the required setting
or replace the plug in the power socket.
After two or three hours, reload the previously re-
moved food into the compartment.
Important: A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.

MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance operation.
Periodic cleaning
Clean out the interior periodically with lukewarm water
and some bicarbonate of soda.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not in use, e.g.
when you are going away on holiday, we suggest you
take the following precautions:
Pull out the plug from the wall socket;
Remove all food from the appliance;
Carefully clean the interior and all movable parts;
Leave the door ajar to facilitate the circulation of air in
the interior so as to prevent the formation of unpleas-
ant smells.
Interior light
The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment can
be reached as follows:
ª unscrew the light cover securing screws;
ª unhook the moving part by pressing it as shown in
the figure.
If the door is open and the light does not come on,
check that the bulb is properly screwed in; if it still
does not work, replace the bulb with one of the same
power.
The maximum rating is shown on the light cover.
Fig. 15

SOMETHING NOT WORKING...
If something is not working properly, check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
there is an electricity supply (find out by plugging in
another appliance);
the thermostat knob is in the correct position.
If there are water drops on the bottom of the cabinet
check that the defrost water drain outlet is not ob-
structed (Fig. 13).
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 ap-
ply for it you specify the model and serial number of
your appliance which can be found on the rating plate,
inside the cabinet or on your guarantee certificate.
