Operation  
Switching on  
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.  
Insert the plug into the wall socket.  
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium  
setting.  
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in  
mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends  
on:  
Switching off  
• room temperature  
To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature regulator  
to the "O" position.  
• how often the door is opened  
• the quantity of food stored  
• the location of the appliance.  
Temperature regulation  
The temperature is automatically regulated.  
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:  
• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings  
to obtain the minimum coldness.  
• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings  
to obtain the maximum coldness.  
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.  
First use  
Cleaning the interior  
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders,  
as these will damage the finish.  
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the  
interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water  
and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell  
of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.  
Daily use  
Movable shelves  
Positioning the door shelves  
The walls of the refrigera-  
tor are equipped with a  
series of runners so that  
the shelves can be posi-  
tioned as desired.  
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 the arrows  
until it comes free, then  
reposition as required.

Helpful hints and tips  
Normal Operating Sounds  
Hints for fresh food refrigeration  
To obtain the best performance:  
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the  
refrigerator  
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound  
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or  
tubing. This is correct.  
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being  
pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound  
and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is  
correct.  
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking  
noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenom-  
enon. This is correct.  
• When the compressor switches on or switches off, you  
will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regulator.  
This is correct.  
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong  
flavour  
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it  
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.  
Hints for energy saving  
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 air-  
tightcontainersorwrappedinaluminium foil orpolythene  
bags to exclude as much air as possible.  
Milkbottles:theseshouldhaveacapandshouldbestored  
in the bottle rack on the door.  
• 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 elec-  
tricity consumption.  
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must  
not be kept in the refrigerator.

they are clean and free from debris.  
Important! Take care of not to damage the coolingsystem.  
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chem-  
icals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this ap-  
pliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer  
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water  
with a little washing-up liquid added.  
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains  
supply.  
• rinse and dry thoroughly.  
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/  
or cables inside the cabinet.

Defrosting of the refrigerator  
Periods of non-operation  
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of  
the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com-  
pressor 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  
holeinthemiddleoftherefrigeratorcompartmentchannel  
to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the  
food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you  
will find already inserted into the drain hole.  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take  
the following precautions:  
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply  
2. remove all food  
3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories  
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant  
smells.  
Important! 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.  
What to do if…  
Warning! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the  
mains plug from the mains socket.  
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do  
the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.  
Important! There are some sounds during normal use  
(compressor, refrigerant circulation).

Location  
The appliance should be installed well away from sources  
of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. En-  
sure that air can circulate freely around the back of the  
cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the appliance is  
positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum  
distance between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit  
must be at least 100 mm . Ideally, however, the appliance  
should not be positioned below overhanging wall units.  
Accurate levelling is ensured by one or more adjustable  
feet at the base of the cabinet.  
Warning!  
It must be possible to dis-  
connect the appliance from  
the mains power supply; the  
plug must therefore be easi-  
ly accessible after installa-  
tion.  
If the cabinet is placed in a corner and the side with the  
hinges facing the wall, the distance between the wall and  
the cabinet must be at least 10 mm to allow the door to  
open enough so that the shelves can be removed.
