NOTICE
After the applian ce has been delivered,st and it in
the upright posit ion and wait approximately 3 hours
before connecting it to the electrical outlet to guar-
antee that it operates prorerly.
Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator, clean the
interior well with warm water and baking soda.
After having plugged the appliance in set knob ‘B’ onto a me-
dium position and can place food in the fridge after only a few
hours.
When the refrigerator has reached the optimum temperature,
you can place frozen food in it.
The thermostat automatical ly regulates the temperature
inside the appliance
1
= less cold
5
= colder
It is recommended that a medium setting be used .
To increase the amoun t of space, optimiz e arrangement
and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling
area” located within the b ack panel of the refrig erator
compartment.
When the appliance is operating, this panel m ay be
covered with frost or dr oplets of water depending on
whether the compressor i s operating or not at a set tim e.
Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is
operating normally.
If the thermostat kn ob is positioned on hi gher settings
while the refrigerator is heavily filled and th e ambient tem-
perature is high, the ap pliance may run con tinuously, re-
sulting in the forma tion of frost on the back cooling area.
This will lead to an incr ease in energy consum ption.
To avoid this situati on, just turn the thermos tat knob to a
lower setting so that th e appliance defrosts auto-matically.

Fruit and vegetable
-
In vegetable crisper
What Should Not be Stored in the Refrigerator
Garlic (transmits od our), onions and leek s.
Bananas (they will turn black).
Citrus fruits.
Potatoes and root vegeta bles (store in dark, dry places).
- Within the refrigerator com partment, the air circulates
naturally, with the colder air falling down because it is
heavier. This is the reason why meat and che eses should
be placed above the vegetable container.
- Please follow our i nstructions carefu lly on maximum stor-
age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remai n edi-
ble for any extended am ount of time.
- Do not place liquids in containers without cover ing them
because this will lead to a n increase in the level of moi s-
ture within the refrig erator, causing the f ormation of frost.
- Remember to cool ho t food before stori ng otherwise the
temperature inside th e appliance will i ncrease, causing
the compressor to work h arder and use more en ergy.
- Contrary to popular bel ief, cooked foods are no t stored
any longer than raw food.
- The refrigerator com partment is equipped with conven-
ient, removable shelf , which can be adjusted for height
using the shelf guides . This allows you to pla ce even large
containers and foodstuf fs in the refriger ator.
- Be careful not to place con tainers (plastic or gl ass), food
or other objects in dir ect contact with the cooling area of
the back wall of the refrig erator. This could harm the f ood,
in-crease energy consumption and facilitate the f ormation
of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
