Fig. 2 Starting up Plug the appliance into the mains. Make sure the inner light turns on when opening the door. Turn to intermediate position the knobs of the «temperature regulators»: «A» for refrigerating compartment and «B» for freezing compartment. Fig. 3 17 Changing the opening direction of doors and Panelling If you wish to change the opening side of the doors proceed as follows: 1... Take off the plinth pressed onto cabinet. (In some models). 2... Remove the lower hinge taking care for the lower door not to fall off. Using a 10mm spanner, unscrew the hinge pin and reassemble it on the opposite side. 3... Lift the lower door off the central hinge. 4... Remove the central hinge taking care for the upper door not to fall off and not to lose the plastic washer. 5... Take the upper door off the upper hinge. Be carefull not to lose the plastic washer. 6... Unscrew the plastic plugs located on the opposite side of the central hinge and introduce them in the holes occupied before by the hinge. 7Unscrew the axle of the upper hing and screw it into the hinge on the opposite side. Make sure to fit in the metal washer for blocking. 8Place upper door. For the remaining parts proceed the other way round.

Loosen the screws of the remaining strips. 3... Start putting on the panel where you took off the strip pushing it right up to the end. 4... Replace the strip on this side. 5... Tighten all screws NOTE: The panel dimensions must be 2 mm. shorter than the doors. Maximun thickness of the panel is 4 mm. 18 Regulation and Control Temperature Regulator for Refrigerator: «F» the freezer compartiment. Pos. N = Normal freezing. Pos. S = Super freezing. Allows to adjust the temperature inside the refrigerator according to use and external conditions. Pos. 1 = Minimum cold. Pos. 5 = Maximum cold. Pos. l = Motor disconnected. Green pilot: «G» (some models only). Dinamic Refrigeration: It is on when the fridge compartiment engines is working. Temperature Regulator for Freezer: «E» Allows to adjust the temperature inside the freezer according to use and external conditions. Pos. 1 = Minimum cold. Pos. 6 = Maximum cold. Pos. l = Motor disconnected. (some models Green light: «D» (some models only). Orange light: «B» (some models only). Indicates that the freezer is on freezing mode (S). «A» (some models only). Whent lighted indicates abnormal temperature conditions in the freezer, but for the exceptions appearing of Pag «Freezing of Food» and Page «Something not working». Indicates connection to mains when lighted. only) The Dynamic Refrigeration System give, in the fridge compartment, extra efficiency showed in: Quicker refrigeration. More homogeneous temperature. DAC (Dynamic Air Cooling system) has been mainly designed for hot weather (ambient temperature above 25°), and also when the refrigerator is plenty of food. To start working, push the switch. When DAC is switched on, the cold production es higher, thus you should turn the temperature regulator to an adequate position to avoid excesive cold. Red light: Interior light: Comes on when opening the door of the refrigerating compartment. When changing the light bulb, first remove the protective cover «X» (see point A-3 «IF SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK»). Super-Normal switch: «C» Allows you to choose the freezing type you want in 19 How to use your Refrigerator-Freezer Freezer Compartment This freezer, is marked , and is suitable for freezing fresh foodstuffs and keeping food for long periods. change the position of the «Temperature Control». If the appliance should be accidentally switched off by a fault or power cut, take the following precautions: Keep the doors closed at all times. Find out how long the stoppage is expected to last. Once normal power is restored: A) If the freezer is full and the stoppage has been less than «Time for temperature Rise» indicated for each model in the «Technical Features» section, then no damage will have been caused to the food. B) If the freezer is not full, the cold will be lost more quickly. If the food has not started to thaw, then follow the instructions in «A». C) If the food has begun to thaw, use them up as quickly as possible, or cook them and refreeze them. Freezing of food Freezing should take place as quickly as possible, in a maximum of 24 hours. The procedure for this is as follows: 1... Set the witch «R» to position «S»: If the freezer was switched off and empty, 3 hours prior to placing the food to be frozen. If the freezer is already operating and contains frozen food, 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen. 2... The maximum amount which can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated in the section «Technical Features». 3... Place the food to be frozen inside the lower compartment of the freezer. You can also use the top shelf. 4... Red light «M», may be on for a few hours during freezing process. Switch-on time for this light will vary according to amount of food being put in for congelation and time while door remains open. 5... Once 24 hours from the introduction of the food have elapsed the congelation can be considered as finished. Set the switch «R» to position «N». Refrigerator Compartment: This compartment is for storing drinks and fresh food products. The temperature inside is very evenly distributed. Make sure food does not touch the back wall, since behind this surface is where the cold is generated and food could bee partially frozen. Also, this can impede the circulation of cold air. This appliance is provided with an automatic defrosting system. Consequently you will sometimes notice a thin layer of ice or drops of water on the rear wall. Keeping frozen food For optimum consevation, the temperature inside the freezer compartment must be at least -18°C. This temperature is adjusted automatically. Check that the «Temperature Control» is in a middle position. Sometimes it may be necessary (insufficient ventilation, high roon temperature, frequent opening and closing of the door) to 20 How to use your Refrigerator-Freezer 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 their 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 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. 21 Maintenance of your Refrigerator-Freezer Prior to undertaking any maintenance operation, be sure to unplug the appliance. 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.
