To operate the appliance, touch the temperature regulator until the LED corresponding to the required temperature lights up. Selection is progressive, varying from 2°C to 8°C. Recommended setting is 4°C.

1. Touch temperature regulator.
   The current temperature indicator blinks. Any time you touch the temperature regulator, the setting moves by one position. The corresponding LED blinks for a while.

2. Touch the temperature regulator until the required temperature is selected.

   • The set temperature will be reached within 24 hours. After a power failure, the set temperature remains stored.

Coolmatic function
If you need to insert in the fridge compartment a large amount of food at ambient temperature, for example after doing the grocery shopping, we suggest activating theCoolmatic function to chill the products more rapidly and to avoid warming the other food which is already in the refrigerator.

To activate the Coolmatic function press the Coolmatic button. The Coolmatic indicator switches on.

• This function stops automatically after 6 hours.
• It is possible to deactivate the function at any time by pressing the Coolmatic button again. The Coolmatic indicator switches off.

DAILY USE

CAUTION!
This refrigerating appliance is not suitable for freezing foodstuffs.

Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.

1. Gradually pull the shelf up until it comes free.
2. Reposition as required.

Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.

Vegetable drawer
There is a special drawer in the bottom part of the appliance suitable for the storage of fruits and vegetables.

HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy-saving

• The most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. The position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
• Do not set too high a temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
• Ensure good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• A good temperature setting that ensures the preservation of fresh food is a temperature less than or equal to +4°C.
  Higher temperature settings inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.

• Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.

• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.

• To avoid cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.

• It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.

• Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down to room temperature before inserting it.

• To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.

Hints for food refrigeration

• The fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) .
• Meat (all types): wrap in suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place in a special drawer (vegetable drawer).
• It is advisable not to keep exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to the Safety chapters.

Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION!
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.

CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

1. Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe them clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

• Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
• It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water from overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
• For this purpose use the tube cleaner provided with the appliance.

Period of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for a long period, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
4. Leave the door open to prevent unpleasant smells.
