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 pow-
ders, as these will damage the finish.
Operation
Insert the power supply plug into the nearest wall
socket. Turn the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond
the “O” (STOP) position.
To turn off the refrigerator, turn the thermostat knob
to the «O» position.
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 keep-
ing in mind that the temperature inside the refrigera-
tor 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 appli-
ance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to
the lowest temperatures, it may run continuous-
ly causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this
case the dial must be set to a higher tempera-
ture 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.

Ambient switch
With a room temperature lower then +16°C, the
ambient switch (B) must be depressed. Pilot light
(A) will come on.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment
is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food, and
for freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh foods depress the ambient switch at
least 12 hours before introducing the food into the
freezer in order to ensure better freezing results.
Place the food to be frozen on the upper compart-
ment.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment
depress the ambient switch at least 12 hours before.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove
all drawers and baskets from appliance and place
food on cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit
stated on the side of the upper section (where
applicable).
