Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash
the interior and all internal accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap so as to remove
the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.
The appliance will start to operate.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «O»
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward
lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob
towards higher settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:
•
room temperature;
•
how often the door is opened;
•
the quantity of food stored;
•
location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
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.
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.
•
Position food so that air can circulate freely round
it.

Door reversibility
The side at which the door opens can be changed from the
right side (factory adjustment) to the left side, if the
installation site requires.

13.replace the upper door.
14.In your documentation bag you will find the upper
hinge necessary to make the reversibility. Please
mount it in their relevant place.
15. Dismount the handle cover making pressure and using
a screwdriver. Dismantle the handles and reassemble
them on the opposite side. Cover the holes with the
plastic lids that were situated where the handles are
presently.Place the handle cover.
Warning:
After having reversed the opening direction of the
doors check that all the screws are properly
tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the
cabinet.
If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in
Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet.
In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or
accelerate this process by heating up the part involved
with a normal hairdrier.
