indicator automatically switches back after a
short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the indicator
of the ACTUAL temperature.

DESIRED temperature means:
Switching on the fridge
The temperature that has been selected for
inside the fridge. The DESIRED temperature
is indicated by flashing numbers.
1. Insert the plug into the mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF switch .
3. The Pilot Light will light up.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature indicator shows the current
temperature inside the fridge. The ACTUAL
temperature is indicated with illuminated
numbers.
Switching off the fridge
1. Keep ON/OFF switch pressed for more
than 5 seconds.
2. After that, a countdown of the tempera-
ture from -3 -2 -1 will be shown. When
“1” appears the fridge is turned off. The
temperature indicator switches off. The
Pilot light switches off.
Temperature indicator
The temperature indicator shows several in-
formation:
• During normal operation, the temperature
currently present in the fridge (ACTUAL
temperature) is displayed.
Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the tem-
perature setting buttons. These buttons are
connected to the temperature indicator.
• The temperature indicator is switched over
from the indicator of the ACTUAL temper-
ature (Temperature indicator is illuminated)
to the indicator of the DESIRED tempera-
ture (Temperature indicator flashes) by
pressing one of the Temperature setting
buttons.
• When the temperature is being adjusted a
flashing display indicates the fridge tem-
perature currently set (DESIRED tempera-
ture).
When changing the temperature setting wait
about 24 hours until the temperature display
has stabilised.

Temperature regulation
To operate the appliance, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Set the required temperature by pressing
the corresponding temperature regula-
tor. The temperature indicator will imme-
diately show the changed setting (DE-
SIRED temperature) and the temperature
indicator flashes.
Important! When the setting is changed, the
compressor does not start immediately if
automatic defrosting is currently taking
place. As the storage temperature within the
fridge is reached quickly you can store food
immediately after switching on.
Supercool function
The Supercool function is suited for quick
cooling of large quantities of goods in the re-
frigerator.
To activate the function, do these steps:
1. Press the Supercool button.
2. The Supercool indicator switches on.
The Supercool function now provides for in-
tensive cooling. A DESIRED temperature of
+3°C is automatically selected.
The Supercool function is ended automati-
cally after a period of 6 hours.
2. Each time the temperature regulator is
pressed the DESIRED temperature is ad-
justed by 1 °C. The DESIRED tempera-
ture must be reached within 24 hours.
3. Once the required temperature has been
set, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.)
the temperature indicator will show again
the current ACTUAL temperature inside
the corresponding compartment. The
temperature indicator will change from
flashing to continuous illumination.
For a correct storage of the food the following
temperature should be set:
You can deactivate the function at any time:
1. Press the Supercool button.
2. The Supercool indicator switches off.

First use
Cleaning the interior
Important! Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will damage the fin-
ish.
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.
Daily use
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves
can lie over the rear ones.
6
Positioning the door shelves
The model is equipped with a variable stor-
age box which is fitted under a door shelf
compartment and can be slide sideways.
For more thorough cleaning, the top and bot-
tom door shelves can be easily removed and
refitted in position
Removable Drawer
Fruit, vegetables and bottles should be
placed in the special bottom drawer provided
(see the diagram).
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and
place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two
days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed on any
shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thor-
oughly cleaned and placed in the special
drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed
in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude
as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low tem-
perature and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, set the Temperature Regu-
lator toward warmer settings to allow au-
tomatic defrosting and so a saving in elec-
tricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liq-
uids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely
around it
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refriger-
ator compartment channel to prevent the
water overflowing and dripping onto the food
inside. Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted into the
drain hole.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation
will improve the performance of the appli-
ance and save electricity consumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer cas-
ing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long pe-
riods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
5)
•
defrost and clean the appliance and all
accessories
Defrosting of the refrigerator
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody
to check it once in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops, dur-
ing normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a trough into a special container at
What to do if…
Warning! Before troubleshooting,
disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Important! There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refrigerant
circulation).
Only a qualified electrician or competent
person must do the troubleshooting that
is not in this manual.
