USE

Operation

Insert the plug into the wall socket.

Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat

knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.

The appliance will start to operate.

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated and can be

increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by

rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or

reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher set-

tings.

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.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to

position «O».

Important

If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance

is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the low-

est 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 auto-

matic defrosting and therefore reduced energy

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.

Position food so that air can circulate freely round it.

Useful hints:

Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on

the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer(s).

For safety, store in this way only one or two days at

the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..:

these should be

covered and may be placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special

airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or poly-

thene 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.

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.

Fig. 15

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for

the production of ice-cubes.

Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer

compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays

from the freezer.

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.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any

maintenance operation.

Periodic cleaning

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of

soda.

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take

the following precautions:

remove the plug from the wall socket;

remove all food;

defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;

leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent

unpleasant smells.

Interior light

The light inside the refrigerator compartment is easy

to get at through the opening in the light holder.

If the light does not come 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.
