Location

- To ensure best performance, install the appliance well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Make sure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet.

Caution! In order to guarantee proper functioning in ambient temperature above 100^ F ( 38^ C), it is advised to have a 30mmseparation between the sides of the appliance and surrounding furniture.

Electrical connection

Caution! DO NOT REMOVE GROUND PRONG. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTOR. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire or electrical shock.

Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your domestic power supply.

The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a qualified electrician.

The manufacture declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed.

Switching on

Insert the plug into the wall socket. Turn the temperature regulator clockwise to a medium setting.

When operating the refrigerator for the first time, run it without loading any food until it autos tops at the desired temperature. Usually it takes 2 or 3 hours, then set the thermostatic dial at the setting desired and put foods in the refrigerator.

Switching off

To turn off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to the "OFF" position.

First Use

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and same neutral soap so

Daily Use

Accessories

Defrosting tray

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated. To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:

• turn the temperature regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
• turn the temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.

i A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

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.

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.

Defrost the freezing compartment whenever the layer of frost on the surface of the evaporator reaches 3 or 4 mm. When defrosting remove all food and set the thermostat at "OFF" position. Put the drip tray under the evaporator to collect melted water. After the frost has melted, discard the melted water and dry up the interior of refrigerator. The refrigerator can then be restarted by turning its thermostat to the desired setting.

Hints and tips

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during operation:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.

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.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
• 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 need a cap and should be stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Cautions for Use

• The more foods tuff put in or the more and the longer for once the door is opened, the more it needs electric consumption, which even leads malfunction.
• Better not to place the objects which are too heavy, pointed or corrosion on table board.
• Re-plugging in the power plug at the interval of over ten minutes.
• Do not store bottled drink in the freezer, so as to prevent from being broken and damaging the refrigerator.
• Open the door as less as possible during power-cut.
• When defrosting, never use any sharp or metallic objects to remove the frost on the surface of the evaporator as it will damage the evaporator.
• Do not touch foods and containers in the freezing compartment with your wet hands so as to prevent from being frostbitten.

Care and Cleaning

Warning! Refer to Safety chapters.

General warnings

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