Tips on Saving Energy
- Install it well
And therefore far from heat sources, from direct sunlight, in
a well aired place and according to the distances indicated
in the section on Installation/Aeration.
- Just the right cold
Too cold a compartment increases energy consumption.
- Do not Overfill
To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely
within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper
air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously.
- Close the Doors
Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time
you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tem-
perature to the proper level again, the motor must work for
a long time, consuming energy.- Keep an Eye on the Seals
Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to
the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.
- No Hot Foods
A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises
the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food
cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the re-
frigerator.
Alarm buzzers and visual warnings
Door open alarm
If the refrigerator door is left open for more than two
minutes, a buzzer will sound. The buzzer will stop sounding
when you shut the door.
Abnormal freezer heating alarm
1.
 To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer,
a buzzer will sound and the two yellow indicator lights
C and E will start flashing to indicate a dangerous
state of overheating. To prevent food from refreezing,
the freezer will try to maintain a temperature of 0°C,
thus allowing you to use up the food within 24 hour or to
refreeze it after cooking it.  Using the special alarm
silencing procedure (open and shut the refrigerator door),
you can turn off the buzzer. To go back to normal
operating conditions, set the freezer knob F to position

 (refrigerator off) and then turn the appliance back
on.
2. If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to
excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again
and the two yellow indicator lights C and E together
with the green one D will start flashing to indicate an
excessive heating. We recommend you check the
conditions of the food, as it may be necessary to throw it
away. Using the special alarm silencing procedure (open
and shut the refrigerator door), you can turn off the
buzzer. To go back to normal operating conditions, set
the freezer knob B to position 
 (refrigerator off)
and then turn the appliance back on.

Keeping Your Appliance in Shape
Before performing any cleaning operation, unplug the
appliance from the mains electricity supply (set knob
“F” to position “
” and then pull the plug out). Should
you fail to follow this procedure, an alarm condition
may  arise. 
WARNING: this alarm is not a sign of an
anomaly. To restore your appliance’s normal operating
conditions, set knob “F” to position “
” and then to
the desired setting.
Cleaning and maintenance
HOLIDAY FUNCTION. Mould and bad odours forming
inside your unused fridge when you go on holiday need
no longer be a problem: just enable the Holiday
function (by setting knob A accordingly). This way,
with limited energy consumption, the temperature of
the refrigerator compartment is kept at around 15°C
(you can store your make up and beauty products in
it, for example) and the freezer is operated at its
minimum setting, which is essential for food
preservation.
A brief double buzzer will sound to confirm the
function has been enabled, whereas a single buzzer
indicates it has been disabled.
Before cleaning your refrigerator, set knob “B” to
position “
” and then unplug the appliance.
- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed
containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation
of odours that are difficult to remove.
- Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the
internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked
with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which
is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium
bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent.
- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach
or detergents containing ammonia.  Never use solvent based
products.
- All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot
soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry thoroughly
before replacing them.
- What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the back
panel and affect the proper running of the appliance. To
remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully using the
appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.
- When the appliance is left unused for an extended amount of
time. If you decide to switch your appliance off during the
summer months, clean it on the inside and leave the doors open.
- Replacing the light bulb.
When replacing the light of the refrigerator compartment
unplug the unit from the power supply and chang the used
lamp with another one of not more than 10 W, follow the
instructions illustrated in fig. 3.

Have you checked whether:
• The main switch for the electricity to the apartment or
home has been turned off;
• The plug is properly inserted in the outlet;
• The outlet is adequate; try inserting the plug into another
outlet in the room.
The motor does not start
Have you checked whether:

 8 minutes have passed since you switched the appliance on?
This model is in fact provided with a motor protection control
system which means that it will only start approximately 8
minutes after being switched on.
Warning lights are weak
Check that:

 Invert the plug in the outlet to see if this still happens.
The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool
properly.
Have you checked whether:
• The doors do not close well or the seals are faulty;
• The doors are left open too long;
• The thermostat knob is not on the proper setting;
• The refrigerator or freezer is overfilled.
The food in the refrigerator becomes too cold.
Have you checked whether:
• The thermostat knob is on the proper setting;
• The food is in contact with the back wall - which is the
coldest part.
The motor runs continuously.
Have you checked whether

  the freezer switch has been pressed (yellow lamp lit or
flashing);
• The doors are not closed well or have remained open too
long;
• The ambient temperature is too high.
The appliance makes too much noise.
The gas refrigerant produces a slight noise even when the
compressor is not running (this is not a defect).
Have you checked whether:
