Environment Protection
This appliance does not contain gasses
which could damage the ozone layer,
in either its refrigerant circuit or insula-
tion materials. The appliance shall not
be discarded together with the urban
refuse and rubbish. The insulation foam
contains flammable gases: the appli-
ance shall be disposed according to
the applicable regulations to obtain
from your local authorities. Avoid dam-
aging the cooling unit, especially at the
rear near the heat exchanger. The ma-
terials used on this appliance marked
by the symbol
are recyclable.
OPERATION
Switching on
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise
to a medium setting.
Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the Tempera-
ture regulator to the "O" position.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as fol-
lows:
• turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chos-
en keeping in mind that the temperature in-
side the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
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.
FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accesso-
ries with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important!
Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will damage the fin-
ish.
DAILY USE
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation,
turn the temperature regulator toward high-
er settings to obtain the maximum cold-
ness.
Important!
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs reset the
temperature regulator to a warmer setting.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
