Climate Range

Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance. This ensures the correct operation of the appliance.

Locks

If the refrigerator is fitted with a lock, keep the key out of reach and not in the vicinity of the appliance to prevent children being entrapped. Before the disposal of an old refrigerator, break off its lock or latches as a safeguard.

Electrical connection

Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your domestic power supply. The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed.

5. USE

First use

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 abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
• After transport, unpacking and installation, let the appliance rest at least 2 hours in vertical position before connecting to the power supply.
• Let the appliance run for at least 2 hours before inserting fresh or frozen foods.

Temperature setting

The internal temperature is controlled by the thermostat at the side wall of the refrigerator compartment.

The marks on the knob are the temperature grades and are not the temperature degrees. “OFF” is a forced stop and “7” shows the lowest temperature. The numbers from “1” to “7” shows a temperature decrease from the highest to the lowest. You may set the temperature control selector to any position as needed. In normal use, set the selector to the “4” position.

Temperature indicator

In order to help you get the correct setting of the appliance, the appliance is equipped with a temperature gauge which is placed in the coldest area.

This symbol indicates the coldest part of the refrigerator. It defines the highest level of this zone.

Make sure the temperature indicator placed in the coldest area shows “OK”. If “OK” is not displayed, this indicates that the average temperature in this area will become high.

If the OK” indicator is not displayed, you should adjust the temperature lower and observe the following points.

• Wait until stabilization of the internal temperature of the appliance before a temperature adjustment. Change the settings of the thermostat gradually and wait at least 12 hours to see whether a further temperature adjustment is needed.
• If food is added in the appliance or repeated/prolonged door opening occurs, it is normal that the “OK” indicator is not displayed. In this case, wait at least 12 hours before adjusting the temperature lower.

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

Storing frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the product in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on a higher setting.
WARNING: In the event of accidental defrosting (for example the power is off), the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after being cooked).

Thawing food

Frozen food can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature before being cooked, depending on your needs. Follow the food manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.
WARNING: Thawed foods cannot be re-frozen. Consume quickly.

Food storage tips

drinks, condiments.
Do not store perishable foods.
Crisper drawer| Fruits, herbs and vegetables should be placed separately in the crisper bin.
Fresh bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should be not kept in the refrigerator.
Refrigerator shelf| Raw meat, poultry, fish (for short-term storage)
Dairy products, eggs
Foods that do not need cooking, such as ready-to-eat foods, deli meats, leftovers.
Freezer shelf| Foods for long-term storage.

Hints for freezing and storing frozen food

To obtain the best performance, observe the followings.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;

• Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;

• Wrap up the food in tin foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.

• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

• Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.

• It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

• Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
  Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be re-frozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

• Do not store bottled drink in the freezer compartment to prevent burst or other losses.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, observe the followings.

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. Wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelves above the vegetable drawer.
• For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer (crisper) provided.
• Butter and cheese should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in tin foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
• Milk bottles should have a cap and should be stored in the door racks.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the fridge.

6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

For hygienic reasons, the appliance interior (including interior accessories) should be cleaned regularly.

Caution! Always disconnect the mains plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Important! Never use detergent, solvents/abrasive products, sharp objects or wire brushes for cleaning, as this will damage the finish.

Cleaning

2. Wipe the inside of the appliance with a damp cloth and some neutral soapy water. Wipe with a warm damp cloth and then dry thoroughly before replacing the accessories inside the appliance.
3. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft dry cloth. Never use solvents.

• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free from debris.
• Dust off the back of the appliance regularly. This will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.

Defrosting
