Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never hot
foods (see Precautions and tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the level
of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
SHELVES:
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is
adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers
and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the
shelf.

1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).
2. If the word "OK" does not appear it means that the temperature is
too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher
position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the
temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if
the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for
the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting
the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.

• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24

food that has already been defrosted.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are
corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could
break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated
on the plate containing the technical properties located on the

! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door.
This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring
that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers.
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply:
1. set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on OFF;
2. pull the plug out of the socket
Cleaning the appliance
• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be
cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water
and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents,
abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and
soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed
by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium
power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be
pulled out before cleaning the appliance.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are
odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to
prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or
sealed properly.
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of
time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
