Environment Protection
This appliance does not contain gasses
which could damage the ozone layer, in
either its refrigerant circuit or insulation
materials. The appliance shall not be dis-
carded together with the urban refuse
and rubbish. The insulation foam con-
tains flammable gases: the appliance
shall be disposed according to the ap-
plicable regulations to obtain from your
local authorities. Avoid damaging the
cooling unit, especially at the rear near
the heat exchanger. The materials used
on this appliance marked by the symbol
are recyclable.
Operation
Switching on
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to
a medium setting.
Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the Tempera-
ture regulator to the "O" position.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as fol-
lows:
• turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum cold-
ness.
• turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside
the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Important! If the ambient temperature is
high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest 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
automatic defrosting and therefore reduced
energy consumption.
First use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accessories
with lukewarm water and some neutral soap
so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dry thoroughly. Important! Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will damage the fin-
ish.
Daily use
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
