3. OPERATION
3.1 Control panel
1 2
ENGLISH 5
1Pilot light
2Temperature regulator
3.2 Switching on
1. Insert the plug into the wall socket.
The pilot light will light up.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator
clockwise to a medium setting.
3.3 Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the
Temperature Regulator to the "O"
position.
The Pilot light remains ON
until the appliance is
disconnected from the power
socket.
3.4 Temperature regulation
The temperature is regulated
automatically.
A medium setting is generally
the most suitable. However,
the exact setting should be
chosen keeping in mind that
the temperature inside the
appliance depends on:
• room temperature,
• how often the door is
opened,
• the quantity of food
stored,
• the location of the
appliance.
1. Turn the Temperature regulator
counter clockwise to obtain warmer
storage temperature.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator
clockwise to obtain colder storage
temperature.
4. DAILY USE
4.1 Vegetable Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and
vegetables.
Some models have a separator inside the
drawer that can be placed in different
positions to allow for the subdivision best
suited to personal needs.
All parts inside the drawer can be
removed for cleaning purposes.
4.2 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of shelves support so that
the shelves can be positioned as desired.
Some shelves must be lifted up by the
rear edge to enable them to be removed.
Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
to ensure correct air
circulation.
4.3 Bottle rack
1. Place the bottles (with the opening
facing front) in the pre-positioned
shelf.
If the shelf is positioned
horizontally, place only
closed bottles.
2. To store previously opened bottles,
pull the shelf up so it can rotate
upwards and be placed on the next
higher level.

4.4 Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of
arrows until it comes free, then reposition
as required.
Do not move the big lower door shelf to
ensure correct air circulation.

4.5 FreeStore function
The refrigerator compartment is equipped
with a FreeStore function which enables
rapid cooling of foods and a more uniform
storage temperature.
It is suggested to activate
FreeStore when the ambient
temperature exceeds 25°C.
Set the switch (A) to the On position and
the fan runs when the compressor is
running.

4.6 Cleaning the interior
1. Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and
neutral soap so as to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product,
then dry thoroughly.
2. Check that the drain hose at the rear
of the cabinet discharges into the drip
tray.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
ENGLISH 7
5. HINTS AND TIPS
5.1 Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound
from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from
the compressor when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic dilatation
(a natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor
switches on or off.
5.2 Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice on
the evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting
and so a saving in electricity
consumption.
5.3 Hints for 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 around it
5.4 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.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should
be stored either on the bottle rack or
the door bottle shelf.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic,
if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
5.5 Hints for temperature inside
the refrigerator
A suitable temperature inside the
refrigerator is approximately +5° C. It is
normal with higher temperature in the top
of the refrigerator and lower temperature
in the lower part. If the temperature
regulator is set to a too cold temperature,
the ambient temperature is high or if the
appliance is fully loaded the compressor
will run for a longer time. This results in
colder temperature in the lower part of the
fridge due to the cold air that falls down. It
may result in that food with high water
content start to freeze. If too cold, change
to a higher temperature setting.
Do not place any shelves towards the
water drain hole. This can result in too
cold temperatures.
If you want to check the temperature of
food stored in the refrigerator, place a
glass of water centrally in the cabinet, and
put a proper thermometer with an
accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6 hours
the temperature can be monitored. The
measuring shall be performed under
steady-stated conditions (without
changing the load).

6. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 General warnings
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance
operation.
This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and
recharging must therefore
only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not suitable
for washing in a dishwasher.
6.2 Periodic cleaning
CAUTION!
Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables
inside the cabinet.
CAUTION!
Take care of not to damage
the cooling system.
CAUTION!
When moving the cabinet, lift
it by the front edge to avoid
scratching the floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and
the compressor at the back of the
appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
6.3 Cleaning the ventilation grille
Make sure the door is open.
The ventilation grille can be removed for
washing.
1. Loosen the edge of the grille by pulling
it according to the figure.
2. Pull the grille straight out to completely
remove it.
3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
6.4 Defrosting of the refrigerator
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 overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside.
6.5 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
ENGLISH 9
1. Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all
accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
WARNING!
If the cabinet will be kept on,
ask somebody to check it
once in a while to prevent the
food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.
