USE
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.
The appliance will start to operate.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can be
increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by
rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or
reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher set-
tings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping
in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator de-
pends on:
room temperature;
how often the door is opened;
the quantity of food stored;
location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «O».
Important
If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance
is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the low-
est 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 auto-
matic defrosting and therefore reduced energy
consumption.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator;
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
Position food so that air can circulate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on
the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer(s).
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at
the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or poly-
thene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.

Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for
the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer
compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays
from the freezer.
Defrosting
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
compartment channel to prevent the water over-
flowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole.
