•
A whirring and pulsating sound from the
compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
•
A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance
caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
•
A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches on or
off.
HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
•
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary.
•
If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature
and the appliance is fully loaded, the
compressor may run continuously, causing frost
or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings
to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in
electricity consumption.
HINTS FOR FRESH FOOD REFRIGERATION
To obtain the best performance:
•
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
GENERAL WARNINGS
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.
The accessories and parts of the
appliance are not suitable for washing
in a dishwasher.
PERIODIC CLEANING
CAUTION! Do not pull, move or
damage any pipes and/or cables
inside the cabinet.
CAUTION! Take care of not to
damage the cooling system.

•
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour
•
position food so that air can circulate freely
around it
HINTS FOR REFRIGERATION
Useful hints:
•
Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging
and place it on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2
days.
•
Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on
any shelf.
•
Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and
place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes,
onions and garlic must not be kept in the
refrigerator if not packed.
•
Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight
container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a
polythene bag to exclude as much air as
possible.
•
Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door
bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
CAUTION! When moving the cabinet,
lift it by the front edge to avoid
scratching the floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean
to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush.
This operation will improve the performance of
the appliance and save electricity consumption.
DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every
time the motor compressor 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
