To avoid unnecessary mistakes and acci-
dents, it is important to ensure that all
people using the appliance are thorough-
ly familiar with its operation and safety
features. Save these instructions and
make sure that they remain with the appli-
ance if it is moved or sold, so that every-

tions as the manufacturer is not responsi-
ble for damages caused by omission.
CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE
PEOPLE SAFETY
• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental ca-
pabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been giv-
en supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person re-
sponsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to en-
sure that they do not play with the ap-
pliance.
• Keep all packaging well away from chil-
dren. There is risk of suffocation.
• If you are discarding the appliance pull
the plug out of the socket, cut the con-
nection cable (as close to the appliance
as you can) and remove the door to
prevent playing children to suffer elec-
tric shock or to close themselves into it.
• If this appliance featuring magnetic
door seals is to replace an older appli-
ance having a spring lock (latch) on the
door or lid, be sure to make that spring
lock unusable before you discard the
old appliance. This will prevent it from
becoming a death trap for a child.

facturer.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

ty, which is nevertheless flammable.
During transportation and installation
of the appliance, be certain that none
of the components of the refrigerant
circuit become damaged.
If the refrigerant circuit should become
damaged:
– avoid open flames and sources of ig-
nition
– thoroughly ventilate the room in
which the appliance is situated

							OPERATION
SWITCHING ON
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise
to a medium setting.
SWITCHING OFF
To turn off the appliance, turn the Tem-
perature regulator to the "O" position.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The temperature is automatically regula-
ted.
To operate the appliance, proceed as fol-
lows:
• turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
A medium setting is generally the
most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be
chosen keeping in mind that the tempera-
ture inside the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
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 tem-
perature to allow automatic de-
frosting and therefore reduced
energy consumption.

							FIRST USE
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.
ENGLISH29
 
						

							DAILY USE
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation,
turn the temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs re-
set the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products in
the compartment let the appliance run at
least 2 hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off
for longer than the value shown in
the technical characteristics chart
under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then
re-frozen (after cooling).
THAWING
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be-
ing used, can be thawed in the refrigera-
tor compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
MOVABLE SHELVES
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
POSITIONING THE DOOR SHELVES
The model is equipped with a variable
storage box which is fitted under a door
shelf compartment and can be slide side-
ways.
For more thorough cleaning, the top and
bottom door shelves can be easily re-
moved and refitted in position
