1. Presentation The four-door refrigerator consists of three sections which are specially designed to conserve the various types of food in the best possible way. Refrigerator compartment ("A"): air circulation by natural convection makes it possible to maintain the compartment at the ideal temperature and humidity for conservation of fresh foods. The temperature is controlled by an adjustable thermostat positioned on the control panel.

3. Air circulation Freezer compartment: the cold produced by the battery evaporator is circulated by a fan positioned above the evaporator. The air enters the right-hand compartment and flows back into the left-hand compartment through special apertures. The temperature is controlled by the bulb of the open-air thermostat positioned immediately above the battery.
5. Description of components 5.1. Battery evaporator and fan The battery-type evaporator, though compact, is designed to provide a high degree of cooling power. This has been achieved by increasing the surface of the battery, in which a large number of aluminium fins are fitted to a copper coil.
5.4. Thermal cut-outs Two thermal cut-outs are positioned in direct contact with the Battery which switch off the defrosting heater at: +10°C end-of-defrosting switch (cable colour: grey); +40°C safety switch (cable colour: black). 5.5. Rubber valve The water produced by the defrosting cycle is expelled from the appliance through a special silicone rubber valve fitted to the duct drain.
5.8. Flap-operated thermostat The flap-operated thermostat is positioned at the bottom of the zero-degrees compartment. This thermostat is sealed internally by a transparent cover. The thermostat opens and closes the duct through which air enters from the compartment below. The temperature in this compartment is maintained constant by the freezer compartment fan, which is always in operation (except during defrosting).
5.9. Control panel A = "ON" LED; B = "ALARM" LED; C = electronic thermometer; D = rapid freezing LED; E = main switch; F = freezer thermostat and rapid freezing knob; G = refrigerator thermostat knob; H = upper left light button; L = upper right light button;...
6. Operation 6.1. Normal The humidity inside the freezer compartment accumulates on the evaporator battery, and thanks to the air circulation it avoids the formation of frost on food. During the normal operation time the timer cam closes the 3-2 contacts thus powering the compressor, fan and motor timer circuit.
6.2. Defrosting The evaporator is the coldest part of the compartment, and it is here that all the humidity inside the compartment tends to accumulate. As a result, it is necessary to defrost the battery at periodic intervals of about 12 hours, therefore, the timer switches from contact 3-2 to contact 3-4, switching off the compressor and the fan and switching the defrosting heating element (9) on and at the same time also the heating element beneath the water...
7. Accessibility 7.1. Freezer compartment Proceed as follows to access the components of the freezer compartment: • remove the gaskets from the guides turning the holders as shown in picture; • remove the 3 screws of the screen and slide out laterally. 4 DOOR REFRIGERATOR WITH R600a 18/22...
7.2. Removing the control panel In order to access the components fitted to the control panel, proceed as follows: • press the light switches (in the upper and lower sections of the control panel), and rotate 45°; • remove the 5 screws which secure the control panel mask in position;...
7.5. Timer The timer is inside the box positioned at the bottom (on the right) of the appliance (beneath the lower hinge of the right freezer door). By using a screwdriver it is possible to rotate the cam shaft manually, only clockwise, to switch the contacts switch 3-4 and 3-2.

By rotating the timer shaft clockwise, with the help of a screwdriver, two clicks that indicate the closure of the contacts are heard. As it is shown in the picture (the position of the clicks is merely indicative), between the 1 click and the 2 click the run is shorter, between the 2 click and the 1...
7.6. Defrosting heater Remove the screws which secure the battery evaporator to the bottom of the compartment. Very carefully, incline the battery as shown, taking care not to damage the tubes. The heating element is inserted by pressure into the apertures in the fins of the battery. 4 DOOR REFRIGERATOR WITH R600a 22/22...
