							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 refrig-
erant is being pumped around and you
will hear a whirring sound and a pulsat-
ing 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 con-
tinuously, 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 consump-
tion.
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.
Milk 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 re-
frigerator.

							CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal ac-
cessories with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage
the finish.
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before car-
rying out any maintenance opera-
tion.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must there-
fore only be carried out by author-
ized technicians.
PERIODIC CLEANING
The equipment has to be cleaned regular-
ly:
• 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.
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the
cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age 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.
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 REFRIGERATOR
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compart-
ment every time the motor compressor
stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a trough into a spe-
cial container at the back of the appli-
ance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and drip-
ping onto the food inside. Use the special
cleaner provided, which you will find al-
ready inserted into the drain hole.

							TROUBLESHOOTING
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often
occur, which does not require calling a
technician out. In the following chart infor-
mation is given about them to avoid un-
necessary charges on service.
The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (com-
pressor and circulating sound).
This not means a trouble, but a
normal operation.
The appliance operates discontin-
uously, so the stopping of com-
pressor does not mean being no
current. That is why you must not
touch the electrical parts of the
appliance before breaking the cir-
cuit.

							INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Read the "Safety Information"
carefully for your safety and cor-
rect operation of the appliance
before installing the appliance.
POSITIONING
Install this appliance at a location where
the ambient temperature corresponds to
the climate class indicated on the rating
plate of the appliance:
Cli-
mate
classAmbient temperature
SN+10°C to + 32°C
N+16°C to + 32°C
ST+16°C to + 38°C
T+16°C to + 43°C
LOCATION
AB
100 mm
min 20 mm
The appliance should be installed well
away from sources of heat such as radia-
tors, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure
that air can circulate freely around the
back of the cabinet. To ensure best per-
formance, if the appliance is positioned
below an overhanging wall unit, the mini-
mum distance between the top of the
cabinet and the wall unit must be at least
100 mm . Ideally, however, the appliance
should not be positioned below over-
hanging wall units. Accurate levelling is
ensured by one or more adjustable feet at
the base of the cabinet.
WARNING!
It must be possible to disconnect
the appliance from the mains
power supply; the plug must
therefore be easily accessible af-
ter installation.

D ECAUTION!
Any electrical work required to in-
stall this appliance should be car-
ried out by a qualified electrician
or competent person.
WARNING!
This appliance must be earthed.
The manufacturer declines any lia-
bility should these safety meas-
ures not be observed.
The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:
A-Green and Yellow: Earth
C- Brown: Live
E- Blue: Neutral
As the colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
1.Connect the wire coloured green and
yellow to the terminal marked either
with the letter “E“ or by the earth
symbol 
 or coloured green and yel-
low.
2.Connect the wire coloured blue to
the terminal either marked with the
letter “N“ or coloured black.
3.Connect the wire coloured brown to
the terminal either marked with the
“L“ or coloured red.
4.Check that no cut, or stray strands of
wire is present and the cord clamp D
is secure over the outer sheath.
5.Make sure the electricity supply volt-
age is the same as that indicated on
the appliance rating plate.
6.Switch on the appliance.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp
plug fitted B. In the event of having to
change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13
amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must
be used.
WARNING!
A cut off plug inserted into a 13
amp socket is a serious safety
(shock) hazard. Ensure that it is
disposed of safely.
