The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for incorrect  
installation or for failure to complete the earth connections  
asdescribedinthishandbook.  
At the end of the functional life of your appliance containing  
cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and perhaps gas  
R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit the latter  
should made safe before being sent to the dump.  
For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local  
Organisationinchargeofwastedisposal.  
Installation  
After unpacking your new fridge-freezer the interior should  
be washed with a weak solution of sodium bicarbonate in  
warmwater.  
Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Position the  
appliance away from heat sources, at least 50 cm (20 inc)  
andinaventilatedspot, notinnichesorrecesses.  
Position the appliance in such a way that you can  
access the socket where it is plugged in.  
Wait about three hours before plugging the appliance in  
tothemainstoensureproperperformance.  
Make sure the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage  
indicated on the rating plate which is located inside the  
refrigerator compartment on the lower left-hand side.  
Insert the plug in an electric socket provided with earth  
contactandsuitableforacurrentofaleast10A.  
Do not use adapters or shunts which could cause

Use of the  
refrigerator  
compartment  
If the freezer compartment is empty, to obtain the optimum  
temperatures inside the refrigerator, set the thermostat  
knobindicatoronamiddlesetting.  
The setting should be regulated taking into account how  
often the refrigerator door is opened, how much food is on  
theshelvesandtheroomtemperatureis.  
Use of the  
freezer  
compartment  
The symbol  
on the freezer door means that this  
compartment permits fast freezing of fresh foods and the  
storing of frozen and deep-frozen foods for long periods of  
time  
Storage  
If frozen or deep-frozen foods are to be stored in the  
freezer compartment, set the thermostat knob between 4  
and5.

Proper use of the appliance  
Freezing fresh To package foods for freezing, consult a specialized  
foods  
manual. Before placing fresh foods in the compartment for  
freezing, to prevent the temperature of already frozen  
foodstuffs from rising irregularly in contact with the  
unfrozen food, these frozen foodstuffs should be removed  
fromthefreezingspaceandplacedbelowthedivider.  
Never freeze more foodstuffs than the amount  
indicated on the rating plate at one time. Once the  
space is loaded, regardless of the ambient temperature,  
move the thermostat knob back about a quarter setting  
compared to the setting used for freezing.  
The fresh foods will be completely frozen 24 hours after  
their placement in the freezing space. If you changed the  
thermostat setting for the freezing operation, return the  
thermostattoitsoriginalsetting.  
Special advice  
and instructions  
on using the  
freezer  
a) The temperature of the ice made in the freezer is  
exteremely low; when removing ice, handle with care  
as contact with your skin could cause frost burns and  
cuts.  
b) Avoid placing full glass bottles in the freezer, especially  
if they are sealed and contain fizzy or carbonated  
drinks (mineral water, orange ade, coca cola) because  
as the liquid freezes, it expands and could cause the  
glass to explode.  
Defrosting  
Remember to remove the frost from the walls of the top  
compartment periodically; do not use sharp metal tools  
which can seriously damage the cooling circuit.  
Defrosting is necessary to assure the best performance  
from your refrigerator and avoid wasting electricity.  
To defrost the top compartment, which should be done  
once or twice a year, unplug the appliance from the mains  
and leave the door open until all the frost has thawed.

A pot of warm water placed in the freezer will speed up the  
defrosting operation. During defrosting, wrap the frozen  
foodstuffs removed from the freezer in newspaper and  
keeptheminacoolplace. Sincetheriseintemperaturewill  
shorten their storage life, these foods should be used fairly  
soon, evenaftertheirreturntothefreezer.  
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically while  
running; the defrost water is collected by a drainer and  
evaporatedautomaticallytotheoutside.  
WARNING:donotdamagetherefrigerationcircuit.  
Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed  
up the defrosting process, unless they have been  
recommended by the manufacturer.

Maintenance  
Cleaning  
Before performing any cleaning operations, unplug  
the appliance from the mains (by removing the plug or  
disconnectingthegeneralswitch).  
The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically with a  
solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water. Never  
use abrasives, detergents or soaps; after washing, rinse  
with clean water and dry with care. At least once a year  
the condenser (black, finned part on the back) should be  
cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or dry brush. This  
preserves the efficiency of the appliance in time and  
savesenergy.  
The bulb for lighting the interior of the appliance is  
locatedatthebackofthethermostatbox.  
Changing the  
light bulb  
To change, remove the plug from the socket and unscrew  
thebulb. Replacewithamaximum15Wattbulb(Fig. 2).

Special instructions and advice  
To increase the space available and improve the  
appearance, the "cooling section" of this appliance is  
inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. When  
the refrigerator is running this wall will be covered with frost  
or drops of water, depending on whether the compressor is  
operating or not. Do not worry! Your refrigerator is running  
normally. You should defrost only when the layer is more  
than5mm. Todothis, setbackthethermostatknob.  
Never place hot food in the refrigerator,let it cool first to  
room temperature. Arrange the food to assure sufficient air  
circulation inside the appliance. Avoid placing sheets of  
paper or plastic on the shelves. Make sure no foodstuffs  
touch the back wall of the refrigerator compartment.  
Duringuse, opentherefrigeratordooraslittleaspossible.  
In addition to the number of stars the compartment is  
marked with, the storage life of deep-frozen foods  
depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting,  
how often the compartment door is opened, the type of  
food, and how long the food has been at room temperature  
from the time it was purchased to bringing home. Always  
follow the instructions printed on the package and never  
exceedthemaximumstoragetimeindicated.  
If the room temperature is less than 14° for a long  
period of time, the freezing compartment will not reach  
the temperature required for deep freezing and the storing  
time will be less. In this case, remember to use frozen  
foodswithinarelativelyshortperiodoftime.

To prevent increase in moisture and consequently  
increased frost, never place liquids in uncovered  
containers in the refrigerator. The frosttends to  
concentrate in the coldest parts of with time.  
Before calling for technical assistance, if the appliance  
is not working, first make sure the supply plug is properly  
inserted in the socket and that the thermostat is not on  
setting " 0 "; if the refrigerator is noisy, check the level and  
make sure there is no object on the outside in contact with  
the back; if the refrigerator performs poorly, make sure the  
interior is not overly crammed, the door closes tightly and  
the condenser at the back of the fridge is not full of dust.  
The refrigerating gas circulating inside the cooling  
circuit causes a slight bubbling sound, even when the  
compressor is not working. This is quite normal!  
If you notice water in the bottom of the refrigerator,  
make sure the defrost water drain hole is not plugged;  
if plugged, clean with the special cleaning rod as  
shown in (Fig. 3).
