Product description

Carefully read the operating instructions before using the appliance.

1. Storage box
2. Can holder
3. Chill compartment
4. Temperature regulator
5. Rating plate
6. Defrosting tray
7. Storage shelf
8. Bottle holder

Operation

Switching on
Connect the mains plug to the power socket. Set the temperature regulator to a medium setting (Refer to “Temperature regulation”).
When operating the appliance for the first time, set the appliance at a colder temperature and run it without loading any food until it auto stops at the set temperature. Usually it takes 2 or 3 hours, then set the temperature regulator at the desired setting and put food in the appliance.
Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to the “OFF” position.
Give the appliance time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding food
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:

• Turn the temperature regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
• Turn the temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
Adjust the temperature setting by 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 a higher temperature must be set 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 same neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Daily use

Accessories
Defrosting tray Temperature indicator This appliance is sold in France. In accordance with regulations valid in this country it must be provided with the lower 00compartment of the fridge to indicate the coldest zone of it.
Defrost the refrigerator compartment whenever the layer of frost on the surface of the evaporator reaches 3 or 4 mm. When defrosting remove all food and set the thermostat at “OFF” position. Put the drip tray under the evaporator to collect melted water.
After the frost has melted, discard the melted water and dry up the interior of refrigerator.The refrigerator can then be restarted by turning its thermostat to the desired setting.

Hints and tips

Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during operation:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and very low internal temperature is set and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice
  on the evaporator. If this happens, set the internal temperature toward warmer one to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:

• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.

Cautions for Use

• The more food stuff put in or the more and the longer for once the door is opened, the more it needs electric consumption, which even leads malfunction.
• Re-plug in the power plug at the interval of over ten minutes.
• Open the door as less as possible during power-cut.
• When defrosting, never use any sharp or metallic objects to remove the frost on the surface of the evaporator as it will damage the evaporator.

Care and cleaning

**Warning! Refer to Safety chapters.
General warnings
Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
