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 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 temperature inside the appliance depends
on:
•• room temperature

Care and Cleaning

Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.
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 outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water
with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains
supply.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of
the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com-
pressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water

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.
•• how often the door is opened
•• the quantity of food stored
•• the location of the appliance.
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.
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.
•• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking
noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenom-
enon. This is correct.
•• When the compressor switches on or switches off, you
will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regulator.
This is correct.
