Indicator light: to identify the coldest area in the
TEMPERATURE
refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light ( see
diagram ).
2. If the word "OK" does not appear it means that the temperature
is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher (colder) position and wait approximately 10 hours until
the temperature has stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or
if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal
for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before
adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher
setting.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact
with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be
stored above the grill in the freezer compartment and if possible
be in direct contact with the walls (side and rear), where the
temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are
corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could
break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located
on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for
example: Kg/24h: 4)
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer
door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,
ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period
of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer
compartment and food preservation will be reduced.
Food hygiene
1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external
packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers, which
could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and those
that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact between
them, thereby removing both the possibility of germ/bacteria
contamination as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the
fridge.
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate freely
between different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use
oxidiser or abrasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable items
(soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored in the
coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just above the salad
crisper where the temperature indicator is situated.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply.
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.

Cleaning the appliance

• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may
be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm
water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use
solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and
soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be
removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set
on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the
plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance.

Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are
odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to
prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or
sealed properly.
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of
time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.

Defrosting the appliance

! Follow the instructions below.
Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any devices or
tools other than the scraper provided, you may damage the
refrigeration circuit.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is
ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet
( see diagram ) where the heat produced by the compressor
causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole
regularly so that the water can flow out easily.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost
manually:
1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position
2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another
freezer or in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This
can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water
in the freezer compartment.
4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before
switching the appliance on again.
5. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal storage
conditions have been restored, before placing food in the
freezer compartment.
