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 set-
tings 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.
Daily use
Freezing fresh food
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure, if the power has been
off for longer than the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately
and then re-frozen (after cooling).
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh
food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long
time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the
medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the temper-
ature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the max-
imum coldness.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room tem-
perature, depending on the time available for this opera-
tion.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
Important! In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this
occursresetthetemperatureregulatortoawarmersetting.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, be-
fore putting the products in the compartment let the ap-
pliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.

Care and cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying
out any maintenance operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form on the
freezer shelves and around the top compartment.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cool-
ing unit; maintenance and recharging must there-
fore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Important! Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
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 out-
er casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm wa-
ter with a little washing-up liquid added.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains
supply.
3. Leave the door open.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and refit the plug.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
5. Switch on the appliance.
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 hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment
channel 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.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maxi-
mum coldness and run the appliance for two or
three hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the com-
partment.
Important! 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. A temperature rise
of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
What to do if…
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden crack-
ing noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phe-
nomenon. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or switches off,
you will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regula-
tor. This is correct.
Normal Operating Sounds
• 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.

Location
The appliance should be installed well away from sour-
ces of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight
etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back
of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the appli-
ance 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, howev-
er, the appliance should not be positioned below over-
hanging wall units. Accurate levelling is ensured by one
or more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.
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.
Warning!
It must be possible to dis-
connect the appliance from
the mains power supply;
the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after in-
stallation.
