- Turn the thermostat control to the required setting.

Temperature Control

• The thermostat control situated inside the fridge compartment regulates the temperature of the appliance.
• It allows you to adjust the temperature inside the refrigerator according to use and external conditions.
• Setting „1“ = hightest temperature, warmest setting
• Setting „6“ = lowest temperature, coldest setting.
• Setting „0“ = Off

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Internal Parts

Storage shelves

• The shelves can be removed for cleaning.
• To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the shelves can be placed at different heights.
• To remove the internal shelf pull forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed.

Hints

Saving Energy

• Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section "Installation". When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.
• Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.

Hints for refrigeration

- Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints:

- Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad compartment, this being the coldest spot in the refrigerator.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.

• Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be well covered and can be stored on any of the glass shelves.
• Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer/s.
• Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as possible.
• Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.

Defrosting

• Defrosting the refrigerator compartment is automatic. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a container at the back of the appliance, above the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
• It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole (F) situated under the salad drawers to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided (P), which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.

P F S.I.011

Cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

The appliance is equipped with a ventilation grid. Keep clean to guarantee good ventilation and good working order of the appliance.

An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

The structure of the appliance permits cleaning of the rear zone close to the wall, using a vacuum cleaner.

1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventilation grid (2);
2. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3), checking that there is no water left from the defrosting.

S.1.013

When the appliance is not in use

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Problems may be due to causes which can easily be solved before calling the Technical Service. Please follow these instructions:

SYMPTOM SOLUTION
Door does not close	Weight surpasses the storage limit of the door shelf so spread weight more evenly or take some products out.The appliance is not properly installed. Please look in the “Building-in” section.
It is too warm inside the refrigerator	Set a lower temperature.Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate around them.Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete and clean.The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.
It is too cold inside the refrigerator.	Set a warmer temperature.
The compressor works continuously.	Turn the thermostat knob to a lower number.The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.Check that the ventilation is sufficient and that the ventilation openings are unobstructed.The cause could be the introduction of large quantities of food and/or frequent opening/closing of the door.
There is water inside/outside the refrigerator.	Sometimes is normal. During automatic defrosting frost thaws on the cooling plate.
Water comes out on the floor.	Place the drain hose at the back of the cabinet above the drain bowl.
Noises	Sometimes this is normal. Temperature control may cause clicking sounds when the system is connected or disconnected.The injected cooling gas may produce a gurgling sound while passing through the tubes.The motor may cause a humming noise and/or slight bumping.The insulation material used has a tendency to slightly increase noise levels, how ever it allows for much better insulation and a lower energy consumption.

Warning! If the am

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.

Take utmost care when handling your appliance so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.

• During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. See installation instructions.
• Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by authorized service or qualified personnel using a special cable of the same type.

Positioning

• Unpack the cabinet and check that it is in good condition and free of any transport damage.
• Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.
