Use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the
interior and all internal accessories 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.
Starting-up
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the door and turn the thermostat control knob,
to be found on the upper right hand side of the inner
compartment, clockwise beyond position ÇOÈ (OFF)
to start the appliance.
Temperature control
Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the
thermostat knob clockwise until its pointer coincides
with the required setting.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
The minimum setting (least cold) is represented by
the lowest number and the maximum setting
(coldest) by the highest number. In any case, bear in
mind that the temperature can be either increased
(warmer) by turning the thermostat knob
anticlockwise or decreased (colder) by turning it
clockwise.
The thermostat knob setting should be adjusted
depending on the inner temperature of the
refrigerator, which, in turn, depends on a number of
factors, such as:
¥ ambient temperature
¥ number of times the door is opened
¥ quantity of food stored
¥ location of the appliance
Warning
If the ambient temperature is high, the
thermostat knob is on the coldest setting
(higher numbers) and the appliance is fully
loaded, the
continuously, causing frost or ice to form
on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the
knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers)
to allow automatic defrosting and so a
saving in electricity consumption.

Fresh food refrigeration
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for cooling
drinks and for normal food storing.
To obtain the best performance:
¥ do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator
¥ cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a
strong smell.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment (
long term storage of commercially frozen food and
for freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change
the setting of the thermostat knob.
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember
that, in this condition, the refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop below 0¡C. If this occurs
reset thermostat knob 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 for at least two hours on the
coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the
normal operating position.
Important
If there is a power failure when food is in
the freezer, do not open the door of the
freezer compartment. The frozen food will
not be affected if the power cut is of short
duration (up to 12 hours) and the freezer
compartment is full, otherwise, it is
recommended that the food should be
used within a short time (a temperature
increase of the frozen food shortens its
safe storage period).
Thawing
run
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.
