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  
Freezing fresh food  
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 occurs reset  
the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.  
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.  
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

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  
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.  
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must  
not be kept in the refrigerator.  
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 elec-  
tricity consumption.  
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;  
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  
• 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;  
• 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;  
• 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.  
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned  
and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.  
• 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.  
• 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 storage of frozen food  
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you  
should:  
• make sure that the commercially frozenfoodstuffs were  
adequately stored by the retailer;

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.
