ATTENTION
After transport stand the appliance upright and wait
at least 3 hours before plugging the appliance into
the mains to ensure proper performance.
Use these average temperature settings to ensure op-
timum performance and to save energy.
Before storing food in your refrigerator wipe the interior
with a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda.
After having plugged the appliance into the socket, make
sure that the refrigerator light has turned on. Then turn the
thermostat knob “
A
” to setting “
3
”. After a couple of hours,
you can place fresh food into the refrigerator.

Storage - getting the most out of your appliance.
Food hygiene
1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external
packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers,
which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your
refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and
those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact
between them, thereby removing both the possibility of
germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of
strong odours inside the fridge.
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate
freely between different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to
use oxidiser or abrasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable
items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored
in the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just
above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator
is situated.
- Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder,
heavier air tends to descend towards the bottom. This is
why meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper.
- Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of
foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will
deteriorate quite quickly.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer
than fresh food.
- Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will
increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in
the refrigerator.
- The refrigerator compartment is equipped with conven-
ient, removable shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for
height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even
large containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator.

The temperature indicator
The fridge has been equipped with a temperature indicator
for an improved, more precise definition of the coldest zone.
Make sure “
OK
” comes up on the indicator.
Correct lighting also ensures an easier indicator reading.
If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the tempe-
rature is too high.
Adjust the thermostat (of the fridge compartment) to a higher
setting (colder).
Each time you adjust the thermostat setting, wait for the
temperature inside the fridge compartment to become stable
(approximately 10 hours) before making any further
adjustments.
WARNING: Should you place large quantities of food inside
the fridge or should the fridge door have been opened
frequently or for a prolonged period of time, it is quite normal
for OK not to come up on the indicator. Wait at least 10
hours before adjusting the thermostat to a higher setting.
