Instruction for Use

• Install the appliance away from heat sources. Direct exposure to sunlight or installation near heat
sources (radiators, cookers) will increase energy consumption and should therefore be avoided. If this is
not possible, the following minimum distances must be respected:
- 30 cm from coal or oil stoves;
- 3 cm from electric and/or gas cookers.
• Clean the inside (refer to “Maintenance and cleaning”).
• Insert or install the accessories/parts supplied.
Installation
This appliance is a refrigerator combined with an electronically controlled freezer with star rating,
and therefore allows separate adjustment of the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
The freezer compartment enables perfect freezing of fresh and cooked food, the production of ice
cubes and storing of frozen and deep-frozen food; defrosting is manual.
The refrigerator compartment, equipped with automatic defrost, enables the storage of fresh food and
beverages.
“Vacation” option
The electronic control allows the freezer compartment to be left on with the refrigerator compartment
switched off.
To activate this function, with all the appliance on, press the button (5) for 3 seconds until the refrigerator
compartment display (7) goes off and the green light (6) comes on (“Vacation function”); the freezer
display (4) will remain on.
For technical reasons the freezer compartment cannot be switched off with only the refrigerator
compartment switched on.
General description of refrigerator and freezer operation
6
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic.
Optimum performance depends on the climatic class indicated on the rating plate.
Switching the appliance on and temperature adjustment.
Switch on the power to the appliance.
The ideal temperatures for preserving foods are already factory-set.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the acoustic signal sounds and the red light (10)
flashes, indicating that the temperature inside the freezer is still not cold enough for
introducing food.
The acoustic signal can be deactivated by pressing the button (11) on the control panel. Place
food in the freezer only when the red alarm light has gone off.
Notes:
• 4-5 hours are required for the refrigerator compartment to reach a suitable temperature for storage.
• The ambient temperature, frequency of door opening and position of the appliance can affect the
temperatures inside the two compartments. These factors must be taken into consideration when
setting the thermostat.
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall inside the refrigerator ensures the free circulation of air.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
• Do not place hot food in the compartments.
• Store liquids in closed containers.
• Storing vegetables with high water content can cause condensation to form: this does not affect correct
appliance operation.
