However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside 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 accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap

Daily use

so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Using of the ice-maker compartment

This appliance is equipped with an ice-maker compartment.

In the ice-maker compartment can be reached -2^ or lower temperature depending on setting of thermostat control.

This compartment is suitable for making and storing ice-cubes. (You can purchase the needed ice-cube tray from a specialist shop.)

Helpful hints and tips

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenomenon. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regulator. This is correct.

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.

Hints for 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 around it

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf. Fruits and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided. When in contact, lemon juice can discolor the plastic parts of your fridge. It is therefore recommended to keep citruses in separate containers.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Bottles: these should have a cap 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.

Hints for ice-maker compartment

• Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the ice-maker compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;

Care and cleaning

• Do not open the ice-maker compartment door too often and do not leave open longer than necessary.

Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and re

charging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet. Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.

Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.

Defrosting of the ice-maker compartment

A certain amount of frost will always form around the ice-maker compartment.

Important! Defrost the ice-maker compartment when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3 - 5mm

To remove the frost, do these steps:

1. Turn the Temperature regulator to the "0" setting and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
2. Empty the ice box.
3. Leave the door of the appliance and icemaker compartment open.
4. Defrosting usually takes several hours. When finished, pour defrost water gathered out of the tray and wipe the surfaces dry.
5. Insert the plug into the wall socket and turn the thermostat control to a medium setting.

Warning! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as

you could damage it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food

3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories

4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.

Important! If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to
