Use

¥ The domestic refrigerators and freezers are

designed to be used specifically for the storage of

edible foodstuffs only.

¥ Best performance is obtained with ambient

temperature between +18¡C and +43¡C (class T);

+18¡C and +38¡C (class ST); +16¡C and +32¡C

(class N); +10¡C and +32¡C (class SN). The

class of your appliance is shown on its rating

plate.

Warning: when the ambient temperature is not

included within the range indicated for the class

of this appliance, the following instructions must

be observed: when the ambient temperature

drops below the minimum level, the storage

temperature in the freezer compartment cannot

be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the

food stored as soon as possible.

¥ Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has

been thawed out.

¥ ManufacturersÕ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant

instructions.

¥ The inner lining of the appliance consists of

channels through which the refrigerant passes. If

these should be punctured this would damage

the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss.

DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape

off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using

the scraper provided. Under no circumstances

should solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice

should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the

appliance. See defrost instructions.

¥ Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the

freezer as it creates pressure on the container,

which may cause it to explode, resulting in

damage to the appliance.

Installation

¥ There are working parts in this product 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

USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Operation

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment

can be selected using thermostat (G).

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 settings.

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;

location of appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to

position Ç■È.

Important

If the ambient temperature is high or the

appliance is fully loaded, 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 automatic defrosting and

therefore reduced energy consumption.

Changing the opening direction of

the doors

Before carrying out any operations, remove the plug

from the power socket.

To change the opening direction of the door,

proceed as follows:

1. pull off the ventilation grille (D) which is clipped

into place;

2. remove the hole cover (G) and the bottom hinge

(E) by unscrewing its three fixing screws;

3. remove the lower door, sliding it out of the middle

hinge;

4. unscrew the middle hinge (H);

5. remove the upper door, releasing it from the

upper pin (G);

6. unscrew the upper pin (G) and refit it on the

opposite side;

7. remove the two plugs of the door (where

available), discovering the holes for the hinge

pins, assemble them on the opposite side and

refit the upper door;

8. reassemble the middle hinge on the opposite

side;

9. using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew the hinge pin

(E) and reassemble it on the opposite side of the

hinge;

10. reassemble the lower hinge (E) on the opposite

side, using the screws previously removed; insert

the hole cover (G) on the lower hinge. Slide the

hole cover (F) out of the ventilation grille (D) by

pushing it in the direction of the arrow and

reassemble it on the opposite side;

11. reassemble the lower door;

12. refit the ventilation grille (D), clipping it into

place.

13. Unscrew the handles. Refit them on the opposite

side after having pierced the plugs with a punch.

Cover the holes left open with the plugs supplied

in the documentation pack.

To line up the doors, it is possible to adjust the

middle hinge (H) horizontally by means of a tool,

after slackening the two screws (see figure).

Warning:

After having reversed the opening direction of the

doors check that all the screws are properly

tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the

cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in

Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the

cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the

gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the

part involved with a normal hairdrier.

place underneath a basin to collect the defrost

water;

5. when defrosting is completed, dry the interior

thoroughly;

6. keep the scraper for future use;

7. replace the plug in the socket and, after letting

the appliance run for at least half an hour,

replace the previously removed food into the

compartment.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during

defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life. 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.

HINTS

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

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

on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.

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 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.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not

packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process,

here are some important hints:

¥ the maximum quantity of food which can be

frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

¥ the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further

food to be frozen should be added during this

period;

¥ only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly

cleaned, foodstuffs;

¥ prepare food in small portions to enable it to be

rapidly and completely frozen and to make it

possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity

required;

¥ wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene

and make sure that the packages are airtight;

¥ do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food

which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in

temperature of the latter;

¥ lean foods store better and longer than fatty

ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

¥ water ices, if consumed immediately after

removal from the freezer compartment, can

possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;

¥ it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on

each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of

the storage time;

¥ on the inner door or special card (if supplied) you

will find sketches of various animals and food

types together with the recommended storage

time (in months) from the time of freezing;

¥ do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,

etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may

burst.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,

you should:

¥ make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;

¥ be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred

from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest

possible time;

¥ not open the door frequently or leave it open

longer than absolutely necessary.

¥ Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and

cannot be refrozen.

¥ Do not exceed the storage period indicated by

the food manufacturer.

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.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the

compressor at the back of the appliance with a

brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will

improve the performance of the appliance and save

electricity consumption.

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 bulb inside the refrigerator compartment

can be reached as follows:

- unscrew the light cover securing screw.

- unhook the moving part as shown in the figure.

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.

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.

The freezer compartment, however, will become

progressively 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.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the

inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out

and it is advisable to carry out this operation when

the appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting of the freezer com-

partment proceed as follows:

1. remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers

of newspaper and put it in a cool place;

2. pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the

thermostat knob to the aÇ■È setting.

3. leave the door open;

4. introduce the plastic scraper in the appropriate

seating at the bottom centre, as shown in Fig ,
