ª Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance

does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

ª The domestic refrigerators and freezers are

designed to be used speciﬁcally for the storage of

edible foodstuffs only.

ª Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been

thawed out.

ª Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

ª There are working parts in this appliance which heat

up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation

as a failure to do this will result in component failure

and possible food loss. See installation instruc-

tions.

ª Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wher-

ever possible the back of the appliance should be

against a wall.

ª Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried

out, be sure to switch off and unplug the appliance.

ª If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is pos-

sible that the oil contained in the compressor ﬂows

Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and fre-

quency 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 con-

tact for this purpose.

If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed,

connect the appliance to a separate earth in compli-

ance with current regulations, consulting a specialist

technician.

The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the

above safety precautions are not observed.

OPERATION

Starting-up - Temperature Regulation

Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the required

setting (beyond position «○»); the recommended set-

ting is between 2 and 4.

Temperature is regulated automatically and can be

increased by turning the knob to lower numbers, or

decreased by turning it to higher numbers. However

the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind

that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends

on:

room temperature;

how often the door is opened;

the quantity of food stored in the refrigerator;

location of appliance.

To stop the appliance, simply turn the thermostat

knob to position «○».

When the refrigerator is set for the coldest temper-

ature, with a high surrounding room temperature

and a great quantity of foods, it will probably be in

constant use, with consequent frosting on the

back wall of the compartment. If this does in fact

occur, the knob should be set to obtain a slightly

higher temperature. In this way the refrigerator

automatically defrosts, with a considerable energy

saving.

Ambient switch (Fig. 11a)

To ensure a regular operation also at low ambient tem-

peratures this appliance is provided with a switch

located beside the thermostat.

This switch must be switched on when the ambient

temperature is below +16°C (the built-in light will

come on).

Refrigeration of foods and drinks

To achieve the best results with the refrigerator com-

partment, you should follow one or two very simple

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).

Place the foods so that air can circulate free between

them.

Fig. 13 shows how the foods should be positioned

inside the refrigerator compartment:

Raw meat (all types): it should be stored in plastic

bags and placed in position (c) (Fig. 13), where it can

be stored for one or two days at most.

Fruit and vegetables: they should be washed and

placed in the suitable compartments.

Movable shelves

The inner walls of the refrigerator compartment incor-

porate a number of self-carrying runners which allow

the shelves to be placed at various levels (Fig. 12).

For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie

over the rear ones.

Fig. 12

D346

Freezing fresh food and storage of frozen

food

The 4-star compartment ( ) is suitable for long

term storage of commercially frozen food and for

freezing fresh food.

Freezing fresh food

Under normal circumstances, to freeze fresh foods it

is not necessary to change the setting of the thermo-

stat knob with respect to the normal running position.

However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the

thermostat knob to the coldest setting, but remember

that, in this condition, the refrigerating compartment

temperature might drop below 0

C. If this occurs reset

thermostat knob to a warmer setting.

To help you make the most of the freezing process,

here are some important hints:

Place the food to be frozen on the shelf, as this is the

coldest place.

The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in

24 hrs is shown on the rating plate which can be

found on the bottom left of the refrigerator.

Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,

foodstuffs.

Remember that lean foods keep better and longer

than fatty foods. Salt too reduces storage time.

Prepare the fresh food in small portions to enable it to

be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possi-

ble subsequently to thaw only the quantity required at

the time.

Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and

make sure that the packages are airtight.

It is advisable to show on the single food packet the

freezing-in date to enable you to keep tap of the stor-

age time.

Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which

is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature

of the latter.

On the rear of the door you will ﬁnd a list of foods fol-

lowed by a number. These numbers indicate the maxi-

mum period of time for which the food in question

may be conserved (in months).

Do not put carbonated liquids (ﬁzzy drinks, etc.) in

the freezing compartment as they may burst.

Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezing compartment, can possibly cause

the skin to be freeze burnt.

Remember that, once thawed, frozen food deterio-

rates rapidly.

Storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,

we strongly recommend that you make sure that the

commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately

stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that

these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food-

store to the consumer in the shortest possible time.

It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period

indicated by the producer of the food.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than is absolutely necessary.

After an idle period, foods should be stored in the

appliance only after running it for at least two hours,

by setting the thermostat to the coldest position; then,

turn the knob to standard operation.

If there is a power failure when food is in the

freezer, do not open the door of the freezing com-

partment. Foods are not affected if the power cut

is short (6 to 8 hours) and if the freezing compart-

ment is full; otherwise, foods should be used

within a very short time. Once thawed, foods dete-

riorate soon and cannot be frozen again.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or 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 may even be cooked still frozen, directly

from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with trays for the produc-

tion of ice-cubes.

Fill these trays with drinking water, then put them in

the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays

from the freezer.

Use of the «Wine Cellar» compartment

(Fig. 13)

Through a simple operation this refrigerator makes it

possible to obtain a «mild» temperature in compart-

ments (d-e), where an ideal «wine cellar» temperature

is reached.

As shown in Fig. 13, lower compartments (d-e) are

separated from the rest by a shelf. This shelf features

a lever (F), which controls the cold air ﬂow through a

number of openings in the shelf itself.

By slipping it to position «5» this section can be used

as a normal refrigerator.

Slide this lever to «0» position to obtain a «wine cellar»

temperature. On positions «1» through «4» intermedi-

ate temperatures are obtained.

Freezer

This is for storing frozen food and for freezing fresh

food.

Refrigerator

(b)

This is for soft cheese, blue cheese and cooked

foods.

(c)

This is for storing meat, fresh ﬁsh, milk, yoghurt

(this is the coolest part of the refrigerator).

«Wine Cellar»

(d)

This is for storing wine, fruit, unripe tomatoes,

potatoes, lemons, sausages, soft drinks, hard cheese,

canned food, etc.

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. 14

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. 15

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.

D016

MAINTENANCE

Prior to undertaking any maintenance operation be

sure to unplug the appliance from the wall socket as a

safety precaution.

Periodical cleaning
