2 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE

USING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

The thermostat in the refrigerator controls the temperature. To set it, you must turn the knurled wheel inside the refrigerator on the right-hand side. When set to position 0, the appliance is OFF. We recommend that you select a middle position: 2 or 3.

Advice:

• Do not put hot food or unsealed liquids into the refrigerator.
• NEVER introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of explosion.
• It is advisable to wrap meat and fish to avoid odours.
• Leave sufficient space between the foodstuffs to enable air to circulate correctly between them. Similarly, when storing them, avoid putting food items in contact with each other.
• Do not place food items in contact with the cold wall at the back of the refrigerator. The shelves have a stop to avoid this.
• The door should not be left open any longer than necessary.

USING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

This compartment enables you to preserve frozen food, freeze fresh produce and to produce ice cubes.

Do not freeze too large an amount of food at one time; the faster the food is frozen, the longer it preserves its qualities. Similarly, ensure that your food items are well wrapped before freezing them so that they retain all their flavour and do not spoil other items.

The preservation times for frozen and deep-frozen foods depends on the type of food concerned. Please refer to the instructions on the packaging. Do not place bottles or cans in the ice box. They may split when their contents freeze. Highly carbonated drinks may even explode! NEVER keep lemonade, fruit juice, beer, wine, champagne, etc. in the freezer - ice box compartment.

2 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE

FOOD SAFETY (depending on the model)

Explanation of the coldest area by means of signs.

The symbol opposite indicates the location of the coldest area in your refrigerator, whose temperature is ≤ +4^ C .

You will store here meat, poultry, fish, cooked meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads, egg or cream-based dishes and pastries, fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/quiches, fresh produce and raw milk cheese, ready-to-use vegetables sold in plastic bags and, in general, any fresh produce whose consume-by date is associated with storage at a temperature of +4^ or below.

Temperature indicator:

Adjust your thermostat Correct temperature

The temperature indicator enables you to check that your refrigerator is working correctly.

The indicator displays "OK" when the coldest area reaches an average temperature of ± 4^ (4 hours after being switched on). If the temperature is above +4^ , the indicator remains black. The user must then lower the temperature of the refrigerator by adjusting the thermostat.

Warning:

Opening the refrigerator's door for a prolonged period causes the refrigerator's internal temperature to rise. To measure the temperature correctly, the temperature indicator must be read within 30 seconds. Similarly, it should also be taken into account that the temperature is nor completely uniform throughout the compartment, for which reason there are appropriate areas for each type of foodstuff.

F Condiments
G Drinks

3 / ON- GOING MAINTENANCE OF YOUR APPLIANCE

DEFROSTING

Your refrigerator has an automatic defrosting system. The appliance's rear surface becomes covered with frost when the compressor is working and defrosts when the compressor is off. When the frost melts, the water evaporates by itself.

The **** compartment must always be defrosted when the layer of frost is approximately 4mm thick. In any case, this compartment must be defrosted at least once a year.

You may use the plastic spatula supplied with the appliance but never use any metal item or an electrical appliance.

Disconnect your refrigerator before proceeding to defrost it.

• Pack your frozen food in a freezer bag and keep it cool.
• Leave the door open and sponge away the melt water as it forms.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, you can place a bowl of hot water in the compartment and close the door.
• Once defrosting is complete, proceed to clean your appliance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Switch off your refrigerator before proceeding to clean it.

We recommend that you clean and disinfect your appliance regularly

• Clean the interior with water and bicarbonate of soda using a sponge or a dishcloth to prevent any bad smells occurring.
• Never, under any circumstances, use solvents or abrasive detergents because these could damage the interior of your appliance. Also do not put any of the interior's accessories in the dishwasher.
• We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance with a cloth once a year because if it is dirty, your refrigerator's output reduces and its consumption increases.

CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB

4 Disconnect your appliance before proceeding to change the light bulb.

• The bulb is behind the thermostat panel. Remove the grill.
• Remove the bulb by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
• Insert a new bulb of the same power as its predecessor.
• Replace the grill, reconnect the appliance and switch it on.

4 / PARTICULAR MESSAGES, INCIDENTS

OPERATING PROBLEMS

There are some noises that it is quite normal for a refrigerator to make:

• The refrigerant gas can produce a gurgling sound as it travels through the circuits.
• The compressor may produce a buzzing noise, which can be more noticeable during start-up.
• The "cracking" noise produced by expansion and contraction of the materials used.

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
The appliance does not work.	Check that the plug is correctly connected, that the fuse hasn't blown or that the circuit-breaker has not jumped.
The refrigerator vibrates or is noisy.	Check that it is level. Adjust the feet.
The refrigerator gets too cold or not cold enough.	Check the position of the thermostat and set it to a more suitable temperature.
The refrigerator's bulb does not light.	Check the bulb and replace it if necessary. If the problem persists, check that your appliance is connected.
The compressor does not start after a change in the temperature.	This is normal; the compressor will restart after a certain time.
There is water on the floor or on the shelves.	The hole for draining away the defrosting water must be blocked. Unblock it with a knitting needle.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT

If you have already performed the indicated checks and your problem still persists, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS YOUR- SELF. Contact your nearest Technical Assistance Department.
