NOTICE
After the appliance has been delivered,s tand it in
the upright position and wait approxi mately 3 hours
before connecting it t o the electrical outl et to guar-
antee that it operates prorerly.
Before placing foods tuffs in the refriger ator or freezer,
clean the interior well with warm water and ba king
soda.
After having plugg ed the appliance in, m ake sure that pilot
lamp “A” is light.
Set knob ‘B’ onto a med ium position and can pl ace food in the
fridge after only a few hours.
When the freezer has reached the optimu m temperature, you
can place frozen food in the freezer.
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature
inside the appliance
1
= less cold
5
= colder
It is recommended that a medium setting be used .
To increase the amoun t of space, optimiz e arrangement
and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling
area” located within the b ack panel of the refrig erator
compartment.
When the appliance is operating, this panel m ay be
covered with frost or dr oplets of water depending on
whether the compressor i s operating or not at a set tim e.
Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is
operating normally.
If the thermostat kn ob is positioned on hi gher settings
while the refrigerator is heavily filled and th e ambient tem-
perature is high, the ap pliance may run con tinuously, re-
sulting in the forma tion of frost on the back cooling area.
This will lead to an incr ease in energy consum ption.
To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a
lower setting so that the appliance defrosts auto-
matically.

What Should Not be Stored in the Refrigerator
Garlic (transmits od our), onions and leek s.
Bananas (they will turn black).
Citrus fruits.
Potatoes and root vege tables (store in dark, dry places).
- Within the refrigerator com partment, the air circulates
naturally, with the colder air falling down because it is
heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses should
be placed above the vegetable contai ner.
- Please follow our i nstructions carefu lly on maximum stor-
age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remai n edi-
ble for any extended am ount of time.
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to a n increase in the level of mois-
ture within the refrig erator, causing the f ormation of frost.
- Remember to cool ho t food before stori ng otherwise the
temperature inside th e appliance will i ncrease, causing
the compressor to work har der and use more ener gy.
- Contrary to popular bel ief, cooked foods are no t stored
any longer than raw food.
- The refrigerator com partment is equipped with conven-
ient, removable shelv es, which can be adjusted for
height using the shelf guides. This al lows you to place even
large containers and fo odstuffs in the refri gerator.
- Be careful not to place con tainers (plastic or gl ass), food
or other objects in dir ect contact with the cooling area of
the back wall of the refrig erator. This could harm the food,
in-crease energy consumptio n and facilitate the formati on
of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
