from the appliance.
Care and cleaning
Warning! Any electrical component (power cord,
plug, compressor) must be replaced by a certified
service agent or qualified service personnel.
• Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and dis-
connect the mains plug from the mains socket. If you
cannot come to the mains socket, interrupt the power
supply.
• Do not clean the appliance with metal objects.
• Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from the ap-
pliance. Use a plastic scraper.
• Regularly examine the drain in the refrigerator for de-
frosted water. If necessary, clean the drain. If the drain
is blocked, water will collect in the bottom of the ap-
pliance.
1. Power cord must not be lengthened.
2. Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or
damaged by the back of the appliance. A squashed
or damaged power plug may overheat and cause
a fire.
3. Make sure that you can come to the mains plug of
the appliance.
4. Do not pull the mains cable.
Installation
5. If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the
power plug. There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
Important! For electrical connection carefully follow the
instructions given in specific paragraphs.
6. You must not operate the appliance without the

• Unpack the appliance and check if there are damages
on it. Do not connect the appliance if it is damaged.
Report possible damages immediately to the place you
bought it. In that case retain packing.
• It is advisable to wait at least four hours before con-
necting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in
the compressor.
• Adequate air circulation should be around the appli-
ance, lacking this leads to overheating. To achieve
sufficient ventilation follow the instructions relevant to
installation.
• Wherever possible the back of the product should be
against a wall to avoid touching or catching warm parts
(compressor, condenser) to prevent possible burn.
• This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when
moving it.
• Do not remove nor touch items from the freezer com-
partment if your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct
sunlight.
Daily Use
• Do not put hot pot on the plastic parts in the appliance.
• Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the appliance,
because they may explode.
• Do not place food products directly against the air

frozen food manufacturer's instructions.
• Appliance's manufacturers storage recommendations
should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instruc-
tions.

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
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top compartment.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment let the appliance
run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
Freezing fresh food
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.
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).
Important! In this condition, the refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset
the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.

end points, push the baskets back in their position.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

series of runners so that
the shelves can be posi-

• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour
• If the ambient temperature is high, the Temperature
Regulator is on the higher setting and the appliance is
fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens,
turn the Temperature Regulator toward lower settings

tricity consumption.
• 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

• 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;
• waterices, ifconsumedimmediatelyafterremovalfrom
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.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must
not be kept in the refrigerator.
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.
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 subse-
quently to thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and
make sure that the packages are airtight;
