Tips on Saving Energy
- Install it well
This means that the appliance should be installed
away from heat sources or dire ct sunlight in a well-
ventilated room.
- Correct temperature setti ngs
Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the
medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only
consume a great deal of energy but will neither im-
prove or lengthen the storage life of the food. Exces-
sively low temperature may in fact spoil vegetables,
cold meats and cheese.
- Do not overfill
Remember that proper storage of food requires good
air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent
this circulation and overwork the compressor.
Keeping Your Appliance in Shape
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigerati on circuit.
Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed
up the defrosting proces s, unless they have been rec -
ommended by the manufacturer.
How to Defrost the Refrigerator
This appliance defrosts automaticall y and the water is
drained to the back towards the drai n pipe installed for this
purpose (fig. 1). Here, th e heat produced by the compr es-
sor will make it evapor ate. The only thing y ou must do is to
periodically check and clea n the hole of the drain, wh ich
is located behind the vegetable crispers, so that the w ater
drains properly.

How to Defrost the Freez er Compartment
- Every so often, remove th e frost with the scraper provided
with the appliance (d o not use knives or me tal objects).
- If the frost is more than 5 mm th ick, the freezer must be
defrosted.
Proceed as follows: tu rn the thermostat knob (A) to the ·
setting . Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in
newspaper, placing it either in the refriger ator or in a cool
place. Leave the freezer door open so that the f rost thaws
completely. You can sp eed this process by pl acing con-
tainers of warm water i n the compartment.
Cleaning and maintenance
Always unplug the appliance from the mains before
cleaning.
- Your appliance is man ufactured with hygi enic odourless
materials. To preserv e these characteris tics, always use
sealed containers for s trong smelling f oods to avoid the
formation of odours that are difficul t to remove.

- Shut the door
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary;
remember that every time you open the door most of the
cold air will be lost. The motor will have to run, and consume
energy, to restore the correct temperature.
- Check the door gaskets
Keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely
against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Never store hot foods
A container of hot food in the refrig erator will increase the
temperature significantl y ; allow food to cool to room tem-
perature before storing.
- Use only a water and bicarb onate solution: Clean the i n-
ternal and exterior of your appliance wi th a sponge
soaked with a warm water and sodiu m bicarbonate solu-
tion, which is also a good di sinfectant. If you do not hav e
any sodium bicarbonate at home, us e neutral detergent.
- What not to use: Do n ot use abrasive deter gents, bleach
or detergents containi ng ammonia. Never use sol vent-
based products.
- Dishwashable: All th e removable parts can be cl eaned
by soaking in hot soapy water or detergent. If you own a
dishwasher, you may wash these parts in the dishwasher.
Remember to dry thorou ghly before replaci ng them.
- What about the bac k panel? Dust may d eposit on the
back panel and affect the pr oper running of the appl i-
ance. To remove dust, vacuum away the dust ver y care-
fully using the appropriate vac uum cleaner accessory .
- Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not
in use for any length of time, remember to cl ean the inte-
rior and dry thoroughl y, leaving the door open t o prevent
the formation of bad od ours and mould.
- As a result of thermal stra in for components of a refri gera-
tor appliance can be heard crackling noise that i s not a
defect and doesn't affect ef ficiency of the applian ce. This
special sound when the thermoregulator and compress or
are turned on is a normal state, which appears during the
working process of th e appliance's electri c installation.
- Do Not locate hot (over 60
0
C) subjects on the upper
plane of refrigerator.
- Replacing the lamp. The l amp for lighting the interior of
the appliance is located at th e back of the lamp box. Un-
screw the burnt lamp and replace it with an other lamp of
no more than 15 Watt, follow the instructions illu strated in

The appliance makes too much noise.
The gas refrigerant produces a slight noise even when the
compressor is not running (this is not a defect).
Have you checked whether:
The refri g erator is levell .
The appliance was installed between cabinets or ob-
jects that vibrate and make noi s e.
There is water on the bottom of the refrigerator.
Have you checked whether:
The hole for draining the water from the frost i s
clogged (see fig. 1).
If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate
or the pr oblem per sists, call the nearest Service Centre
and inform them of: the type of probl e m, the abbrevi a tion
of the model name (Mod.) and the relative numbers (S/N)
written on the rating plate located at the bottom left next
to the vegetable crisper.
Never call on unauthorized technicians and always re-
fuse spare parts, which are not originals.
