the appliance shall be disposed according to the appli-  
cable regulations to obtain from your local authorities.  
Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear  
near the heat exchanger. The materials used on this ap-  
This appliance does not contain gasses which  
could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrig-  
erant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall

Operation  
Switching on  
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.  
Insert the plug into the wall socket.  
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium  
setting.  
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in  
mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends  
on:  
Switching off  
• room temperature  
To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature regulator  
to the "O" position.  
• how often the door is opened  
• the quantity of food stored  
• the location of the appliance.  
Temperature regulation  
The temperature is automatically regulated.  
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:  
• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings  
to obtain the minimum coldness.  
• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher set-  
tings to obtain the maximum coldness.  
Important! 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 temperature to allow automatic  
defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.  
Daily use  
Freezing fresh food  
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, 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).  
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 temper-  
ature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the max-  
imum coldness.  
Thawing  
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be  
thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room tem-  
perature, depending on the time available for this opera-  
tion.  
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly  
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.  
Important! In this condition, the refrigerator  
compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this  
occursresetthetemperatureregulatortoawarmersetting.  
Storage of frozen food  
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, be-  
fore putting the products in the compartment let the ap-  
pliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.

Care and cleaning  
Defrosting the freezer  
Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying  
out any maintenance operation.  
A certain amount of frost will always form on the  
freezer shelves and around the top compartment.  
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cool-  
ing unit; maintenance and recharging must there-  
fore only be carried out by authorized technicians.  
Important! Defrost the freezer when the frost layer  
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.  
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chem-  
icals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this ap-  
pliance. For this reason it is recommended that the out-  
er casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm wa-  
ter with a little washing-up liquid added.  
To remove the frost, do these steps:  
1. Switch off the appliance.  
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of  
newspaper and put it in a cool place.  
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains  
supply.  
3. Leave the door open.  
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-  
oughly and refit the plug.  
Defrosting of the refrigerator  
5. Switch on the appliance.  
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of  
the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com-  
pressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water  
drains out through a trough into a special container at  
the back of the appliance, 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 dripping  
onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided,  
which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.  
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maxi-  
mum coldness and run the appliance for two or  
three hours using this setting.  
7. Reload the previously removed food into the com-  
partment.  
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off  
frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do  
not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to  
speed up the thawing process other than those  
recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise  
of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten  
their safe storage life.  
What to do if…  
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden crack-  
ing noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phe-  
nomenon. This is correct.  
• When the compressor switches on or switches off,  
you will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regula-  
tor. This is correct.  
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 refrigerant is being  
pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound  
and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is  
correct.

Location  
The appliance should be installed well away from sour-  
ces of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight  
etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back  
of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the appli-  
ance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the  
minimum distance between the top of the cabinet and  
the wall unit must be at least 100 mm . Ideally, howev-  
er, 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.  
If the cabinet is placed in a corner and the side with the  
hinges facing the wall, the distance between the wall  
and the cabinet must be at least 10 mm to allow the  
door to open enough so that the shelves can be removed.  
Warning!  
It must be possible to dis-  
connect the appliance from  
the mains power supply;  
the plug must therefore be  
easily accessible after in-  
stallation.
