OPERATION

Before using

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the

appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of

soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may

linger. Dry thoroughly.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated

by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and

one ÇOFFÈ (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
The intermediate position is usually the most

suitable (3-4).
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature

inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the

following factors:
Ð room temperature
Ð how often the door is opened
Ð how much food is stored
Ð position of the appliance

Important

During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather,

if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the

cooling system may operate continuously and the

fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the

knob to a lower number will cause the automatic

defrosting to resume.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period of use, before

putting the products in the compartment let the

appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest

setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal

opertion position.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the

manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Warning

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in

the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin

burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands

are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or

Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.

The freezer compartment

The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for

storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing

fresh foods.

Freezing fresh food

To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change

the setting of the thermostat knob.
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the

thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember

that, in this condition the refrigerator compartment

temperature might drop below 0¡ C.
If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer

setting.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 3 kg. of fresh

food.

Place the food to be frozen on the shelf of the

freezer as this is the coldest part.

Important

In the event of a power cut do not open the door.

The food in the freezer will not be affected if the

power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should

the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly

and must not be re-frozen.

Door reversal

1. Disconnect from the electricity supply;
2. Remove all loose item, including food, store food

in a cool place;

3. Gently lay the fridge/freezer on its back with the

top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3

inches) of packing;

4. Remove the feet (2-3).
5. Unscrew the bottom hinge (1).
6. Slide out the lower door from middle hinge (H)

and remove the latter.

7. Slide out the upper door from pin (G), unscrew

the latter and then screw it down into the hinge

provided on the opposite side, after having

removed the small plugs which should then be

fitted on the opposite side.

8. Refit the upper door and the middle hinge on the

opposite side.

9. Screw down the bottom hinge (1) on the opposite

side by using the screws previously removed.

10.Refit the feet (2-3) on the opposite side.
11.Unscrew the handle. Refit it on the opposite side

after having pierced the plugs with a punch.

Cover the holes left open with the plugs contained

in the documentation pack.

12.The doors can be aligned by adjusting the middle

hinge.

13.The middle hinge can be adjusted horizontally,

with the help of a tool, after having slackened the

two screws.

Attention

After completion of the door reversing operation,

check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If

the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the

gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that

case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or

accelerate this process by heating up the part

involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.
