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 reversal
Unplug the appliance before all operations.
To reverse the door, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the lower hinge (1) and the foot (2);
2. unscrew the left front foot and reposition on the
opposite side;
3. unscrew the two screws which mask the holes for
fixing the hinge from the left front side;
4. slide the door out from pin (G),unscrew the pin
and reposition on the opposite side;
5. reassemble the door;
6. Re-assemble the lower hinge (1) and the foot (2)
on the opposite side, as shown in the figure;
7. Unscrew the handle. Refit it on the opposite side
after having pierced the plugs with a punch.
Cover the holes left open with the plugs supplied
in the documentation pack.
Attention
After completion of the door reversibility
operation, verify that the door gasket is adherent
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.
