Refrigerator
Installation and use
Safety - a good habit to get into.
ATTENTION
5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the
plug from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.
6. Never touch the cooling components within the appliance,
especially with wet hands because this could result in injury.
Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your
mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause
burns.
Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which
will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your
appliance.
Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards
(EN60) ans has been awarded the European approval mark
(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.
It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimi-
nation of readio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).
7. Never clean the appliance or perform maintenance without
first disconnecting it from the electrical mains. Turning the
thermostat knob to the
setting does not suffice to break
all electrical contact with the mains.
1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in
an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to
leave it exposed to rain or storms.
2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refriger-
ate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use
contained in this manual.
3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet
or with wet hands or feet.
4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension
cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is in-
stalled between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not
bent or dangerously pinched or compressed.
8. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal,
remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent
children who might play in or around the appliance from
being locked inside.
9. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of mal-
function, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem?
to determine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem.
do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal
components of the appliance.
10. If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance
must necessarily be replaced by our service centre because
special tools are required for replacement.
Installation
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the
appliance is installed correctly.
Insufficient power?
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating
plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore,
need to be ventilated properly. Avoid placing refrigerator in
direct sunlight, or next to an electric stove or similar appliance.
Areas not adequately ventilated are not suitable for this
appliance.
Before making the electrical connection ...
After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the ver-
tical upright position and wait at least 3 hours before insert-
ing the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it
functions properly.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.
For English Market only
The appliance is fitted with a continental 2-èin plug for
factory testing. Before installation the plug should be cut
off. The appliance is designed to be installed in a switched
spur outlet fused at 13 Ampere. If the installation requires
a 13 Ampere plug type to be fitted it should be conform to
BSI 1363.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.
Electrical Connection and Earthing
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure
that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the
bottom left near the vegetable crisper, corresponds to the
mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted with
a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety stand-
ards for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with an
earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be held liability for
any damages and or injuries arising out of the use of the
appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.

Setting up Your Appliance
ATTENTION
Before storing food in your refrigerator wipe the interior with
a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda.
After transport stand the appliance upright and wait
at least 3 hours before plugging the appliance into the
mains to ensure proper performance.
Use these average temperature settings to ensure op-
timum performance and to save energy.
After having plugged the appliance into the socket, make
sure that the refrigerator light has turned on. Then turn the
thermostat knob “A” to setting “3”. After a couple of
hours, you can place fresh food into the refrigerator.
Fill the ice trays and place them in the compartment “H”.

- Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of
foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will
deteriorate quite quickly.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer
than fresh food.
- Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will
increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in
the refrigerator.
What Not to Store in the Refrigerator
Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks.
Bananas (they will turn black).
Citrus fruits.
Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).
- Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder,
heavier air tends to descend towards the bottom. This is why
meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper.
Energy Saving Tips
- Install the Appliance Correctly
- Keep the Door Closed
This means that the appliance should be installed away from
heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.
Open the refrigerator only when necessary; remember that
every time you open the door most of the cold air will be
lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level, the
motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming
a substantial amount of energy.
- Correct Temperature Settings
Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the middle
settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only consume
a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen
the storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures
may ruin vegetables, cold cuts and cheese.
- Check the Seal on the Door
Keep the seal clean and soft so that it fits tightly against the
door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Do Not Overfill Your Appliance
- Never Put Food in the Refrigeror while Still Hot
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-
perature before storing.
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air
circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air
circulation and overwork the compressor.

Caring for Your Appliance
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning
off the general switch in your home).
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed
containers to store foods in order to prevent spills, stains and
the formation of difficult to remove odours.
- Only use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the
applianc. Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance
with a sponge soaked in a warm water and sodium
bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If
you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use a
neutral soap.
Defrosting
Do not use mechanical devices or instruments other
than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed
up the defrosting process.
Models without an Ice Unit
The evaporator defrosts automatically during operation; the
defrost water drips into the drain, is collected in a special
tray and then evaporates.
- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach or
detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based
products.
Clean the defrost water drain hole periodically (see fig. 1) to
prevent water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigera-
tor instead of flowing out.
- All removable parts can be cleaned by soaking them in hot
soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry them thoroughly
before replacing them.
- Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in
use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior
and dry thoroughly, leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of odours and mould.
Models with an Ice Unit
It is advisable now and then to remove the frost which forms
on the evaporator.
Take care to not use sharp objects for this purpose since they
could pierce the refrigeration circuit and permanently damage
the appliance.
Proper cleaning is very important in order to guarantee that
the refrigerator operates efficiently and does not consume
excess energy needlessly.
To defrost the evaporator completely, turn the thermostat
knob to “ ” (fig. 2). The water from the frost will collect in
the special tray.
- Replacing the light bulb. The bulb for lighting the interior of
the appliance is located at the back of the thermostat box.
Unscrew the burned out bulb and replace it with another
bulb with a wattage no higher than 15 Watt, follow the
instructions illustrated in fig. 3.
Before carrying out this operation, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (to do so, turn off the general switch in
the house or remove the plug for the appliance from the
socket).
.
When finished, dry the tray and put it back in place.
To start the appliance again, turn the thermostat knob to the
appropriate setting.
