Instructions for  
installation and use  
 
If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13  
amp fuse. A 15 amp plug must be protected by a 15 amp  
fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.  
If you are in any doubt about the electrical supply to your  
machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.  
Electrical connection  
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug  
that can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate  
use. Before using the appliance please read the instructions  
below.

Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and  
you should wish to remove it to add a cable extension or to  
re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please  
ensure that either:  
- the plug is replaced by a fused 13 amp re-wireable plug  
bearing the BSI mark of approval  
Disposing of the appliance:  
When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by  
cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body  
and dispose of it as described above.  
or:  
- the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet,  
controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is  
accessible without moving the appliance.  
Disposing of the plug:  
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the  
pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a  
socket. Instructions for connecting cable to an alterna-  
tive plug:  
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in  
accordance with the following code:  
Green & Yellow  
Blue  
Brown  
- Earth  
- Neutral

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not  
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the  
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Setting up Your Appliance  
Before storing food in your refrigerator wipe the interior with  
a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda.  
After having plugged the appliance into the socket, make  
sure that the refrigerator light has turned on. Then turn the  
thermostat knob “A” to setting “3”. After a couple of hours,  
you can place fresh food into the refrigerator.  
ATTENTION  
After transport stand the appliance upright and wait  
at least 3 hours before plugging the appliance into the  
mains to ensure proper performance.  
Use these average temperature settings to ensure opti-  
mum performance and to save energy.

bread, dry pastries, red tomatoes  
Bottled products, milk, drinks, yoghurt  
Fruits and legumes  
On special door shelves.  
In vegetable crisper.  
- Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder,  
heavier air tends to descend towards the bottom. This is  
why meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper.  
- Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of  
foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will  
deteriorate quite quickly.  
What Not to Store in the Refrigerator  
Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks.  
Bananas (they will turn black).  
Citrus fruits.  
Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).  
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer  
than fresh food.  
- Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will  
increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in  
the refrigerator.

Energy Saving Tips  
- Install the Appliance Correctly  
- Keep the Door Closed  
This means that the appliance should be installed away from  
heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.  
Open the refrigerator only when necessary; remember that  
every time you open the door most of the cold air will be  
lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level, the  
motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consum-  
ing a substantial amount of energy.  
- Correct Temperature Settings  
Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the middle  
settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only con-  
sume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor  
lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold tem-  
peratures may ruin vegetables, cold cuts and cheese.  
- Check the Seal on the Door  
Keep the seal clean and soft so that it fits tightly against the  
door to ensure that no cold air is lost.  
- Do Not Overfill Your Appliance  
- Never Put Food in the Refrigeror while Still Hot  
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the  
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-  
perature before storing.  
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air cir-  
culation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air  
circulation and overwork the compressor.  
Caring for Your Appliance  
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance  
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning  
off the general switch in your home).  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless  
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed  
containers to store foods in order to prevent spills, stains and  
the formation of difficult to remove odours.  
- Only use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the  
applianc. Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance  
with a sponge soaked in a warm water and sodium bicarbo-  
nate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not  
have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use a neutral soap.  
- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach or  
detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based  
products.  
Defrosting  
The evaporator defrosts automatically during operation; the  
defrost water is collected by the conveyor and is evaporated  
externally automatically.  
Clean the defrost water drain hole periodically (see fig. 1) to  
prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the  
refrigerator instead of flowing out.  
- All removable parts can be cleaned by soaking them in hot  
soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry them thoroughly  
before replacing them.  
- Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in  
use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior  
and dry thoroughly, leaving the door open to prevent the  
formation of odours and mould.  
- Replacing the light bulb. Unscrew the burned out bulb and  
replace it with another bulb with a wattage no higher than  
15 Watt (fig. 2).

Trouble Shooting  
If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate or  
the problem persists, call the nearest Service Centre and  
inform them of: the type of problem, the abbreviation of the  
model name (Mod.) and the relative numbers (S/N) written  
on the rating plate located at the bottom left next to the  
vegetable crisper (see examples in the figures below).  
The Refrigerator does not Work  
Check that:  
The mains switch in your home is on;  
The plug is inserted correctly in the socket;  
The socket is working; to check this connect the appli-  
ance;  
To another socket in the room.  
The Appliance does not Refrigerate Properly  
Check that:  
The door is shut properly and that the door seal is not  
damaged;  
The thermostat temperature knob is on the correct setting;  
The refrigerator has not been overfilled.

The appliance has been installed between cabinets or  
other objects that vibrate or make noise;  
Remember that the refrigerant in the cooling circuit causes  
a slight bubbling sound, even when the compressor is not  
running (this is quite normal).

refuse spare parts which are not originals.
