OPERATION
Before using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and
one ÇOFFÈ (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:
Ð room temperature
Ð how often the door is opened
Ð how much food is stored
Ð position of the appliance
Important
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible
that because a very low temperature has been
selected, the motor is working continuously, which
prevents the defrost cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should
be selected on the thermostat and you should notice
that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is
correct.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the
thermostat to a higher number, however you should
turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic
defrosting.
Low Ambient Temperature Switch
To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently
when the room temperature drops below 16¡C, the
switch mounted next to the thermostat control should
be switched on.
No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in
this position for any period of time (see page 12 Low
ambient operation).However should the temperature
rise above 16¡C remember to turn the switch off
again.
The freezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh foods.
Freezing fresh food
When freezing large amounts of fresh food turn the
thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to
freezing.
When the food is frozen return to the normal
position.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 10 kg. of fresh
food.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
If you need to store large quantities of food, you can
remove the drawer from the appliance and pile the
food directly on the cooling shelves, always
respecting the load limits where they are stated.
Important
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will
not be affected if the power cut is short and if the
freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food
begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen .
DEFROSTED COOKED FOOD MUST NOT BE
REFROZEN.

Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to
depress the ambient switch for at least two hours
before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Door reversal directions
1. Disconnect from the electricity supply.
2. Remove all loose items, including food, store food
in a cool place.
3. Gently lay the fridge/freezer on its back with the
top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3
inches) of packing;
4. Remove the feet (2-3)
5. Remove bottom hinge (1).
6. Remove the freezer door by releasing it from the
middle hinge (H).
7. Unscrew the middle hinge.
8. Slide out the fridge door from pin (G), unscrew
the latter and then screw it down into the hinge-
blade provided on the opposite side, after having
removed the small plugs (I) which should then be
fitted on the opposite side.
9. Refit the fridge door and replace the middle hinge
to the left hand side.
10.Replace the door and bottom hinge (1) on the
opposite side.
11.Refit the feet (2-3) on the opposite side.
Attention
After completion of the door reversing operation,
check that the door gasket 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 hairdryer on a low setting.
