It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in any way. These domestic refrigerators are designed to be used specifically for the storage and conservation of food. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrap off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using a plastic scraper. (See defrost instructions). Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been thawed out. Manufacturers storage recommendations should be strictly complied with. The lollies can cause frost burns if consumed right away from the freezer. Do not place carbonate or frizzy drinks in the freezer as these may explode. Whenever there is a need of discarding an old freezer make sure to: Take off the doors in order to prevent children getting trapped inside. Have the gas of the cooling system recovered before making it to scrap iron. 3 INSTALLATION Positioning Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Maintain recommended ventilation - see figure 2 Make sure the refrigerator is accurately levelled turning the adjustable feet in order to avoid vibrations and noises J FIG. - 1 This is a built in design to be aligned with other furniture The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: Climate classification for an ambient temperature of SN + 10 to + 32°C N + 16 to + 32°C ST + 18 to + 38°C T + 18 to + 43°C 4 INSTALLATION Cleaning the interior Do not use alcohol or any cleaning product containing alcohol because it can damage the cabinet. Before using the appliance for the first time wash the interior with luke warm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand - new product and then dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive powders as these will damage the finish. Remove security used for transportation. Cleaning of outside of appliance Steel surface For cleaning of the steel surface you can use cleaning agent for steel usual in the trade. Thouse cleaning agents create a protection against fingerprints as well. m Warning: When using this product, it is necessary to avoid the contact with plastic material because of degradation. Electrical connection Before plugging the appliance into a socket make sure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your home supply. It is essential that the appliance be connected to an efficient earth tap. For this purpose the supply cable plug incorporates a special earth contact. If the sockets of your domestic wiring system are not grounded, have the appliance connected to a separate ground wire in accordance with existing safety regulations. «THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES TO ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY IF THIS SAFETY RULE IS NOT OBSERVED». Starting-Up Plug the appliance into the wall socket. Make sure the inner light H (Fig. 1) illuminates when opening the door. Turn the «temperature knob» A (Fig. 1) to intermediate position. 5 REGULATION AND CONTROL Temperature regulation: A FIG.- 1 Allows temperature regulation according to room temperature and usage. Pos. 1 = minimum cold. Pos. 6 = maximum cold. Pos. 0 = Disconnection of motor. Interior light: H FIG.- 1 Lightens when opening the door of the refrigerator compartment and shuts off when closing the door. It also shuts off turning the temperature regukator to 0 position. When changing the light bulb (see point A-1 «IF SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK»), release the protection X, by removing the screw Y and pushing it as showns in the figure. 6 HOW TO USE YOUR REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER Freezer Compartment: This freezer, marked , is suitable for freezing food and permits long term storage of frozen food. The appliance must be connected for at least 3 hours before introducing food. Freezing of food: 1) Place food on the upper grill I (figure 1). 2) Maintain food for at least 24 hours in that position. 3) The maximum quantity to be frozen within 24 hours is shown on the «Rating Plate». 4) The shelf situated in the freezer door is not destined to freeze fresh food but to preserve prefrozen food, storage ice cream or frost cocktail glasses; the volume is 7 l. Conservation of frozen food: For a safe storage of food the temperature inside should never rise above - 18° C. An adjustable thermostat is regulating this temperature automatically. Make sure the «Temperature Regulator» is on a medium setting. However, it may sometimes be necessary (due to poor ventilation, high room temperature, frequent opening of the door) to graduate the setting of the «Temperature Regulator». In case of an accidental stop of the appliance or a power cut proceed as follows: Keep the doors closed at all events. Try to find out for how long the failure will continue. Once reestablished to normality: A) If the freezer is fully loaded and the power failure is less than the time indicated on the «Rating Plate» no damage has been done to the food stored. B) If the freezer is fairly loaded the «rising of the temperature» is reduced. If thawing has not yet started proceed as said in previous point. C) If thawing has started, consume the food immediately, or cook it and the freezing it again. Refrigerator Compartment: This compartment is meant for keeping drinks and fresh food. The inner temperature is quite equalized. Avoid food touching inner walls, as the cold is being produced in there and the food could partly get frozen. On the other hand this would avoid a perfect circulation of the cold air. This appliance is provided with an automatic defrosting device. You therefore might find sometimes a fine layer of ice or water drops. 7 HOW TO USE YOUR REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER Dynamic refrigeration (DAC): The DAC system gives an extra performance to the fridge compartment, shown as: Faster cooling. More uniform temperature. DAC (Dynamic Air Cooling system) has been mainly designed for hot weather, and also when the refrigerator is plenty of food. To operate, push the button on the fan switch and the green pilot light will come on. When DAC is switched on, the cold production is higher, thus you should turn the temperature regulator to an adequate position to avoid excesive cold. Useful Hints Do not introduce any new food during a freezing period. Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen food. Wrap the food up properly or place it in hermethic recipies before introducing it into the freezer. Do not introduce any hot food into the freezer Food and drinks of a strong flavour may pass this on to others and affect the flavour. Wrap them up adequately or put them into tight closing bags. Follow the instructions given in the cook books, freezing books and wrapping utensiles for better conservation of food. In some models, on the freezer inner door there is usually an schematic drawing showing the conservation time (in months) for the different types of food. It will also depend on the food quality in the moment of freezing and on the specific instructions on packages. 8 MAINTENANCE OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER Prior to undertaking any maintenance operation, be sure to unplug the aplliance Defrosting of the freezer The inner walls of the freezer become gradually covered with a layer of frost keeping in mind not to open the door frequently and keeping the food wrapped up in closed bags. Whenever the thickness of ice reaches 5 mm. the frost should be removed. Here to proceed as follows: Remove all food staff and place it in the coolest possible place. Remove de ice from the walls with a plastic scraper. Never use any sharp metal tools, electric ovens or similar as these may cause serious damage to the appliance. Once the ice is eliminated clean and dry the appliance Connect the appliance. 9 MAINTENANCE OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER Defrosting of the refrigerator Cleaning Frost is automatically eliminated in the refrigerator.
