direct sunlight, or next to an electric stove or similar appliance.  
Areas not adequately ventilated are not suitable for this  
appliance.  
Insufficient pow er?  
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum  
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating  
plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.  
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the  
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.

What Not to Store in the Refrigerator  
Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks.  
Bananas (they will turn black).  
Citrus fruits.  
Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).  
- Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder,  
heavier air tends to descend towards the bottom. This is  
why meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper.  
- Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of  
foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will  
deteriorate quite quickly.  
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer  
than fresh food.  
- Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will  
increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in  
the refrigerator.

Energy Saving Tips  
- Install the Appliance Correctly  
This means that the appliance should be installed away from  
heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.  
- Keep the Door Closed  
Open the refrigerator only when necessary; remember that  
every time you open the door most of the cold air will be  
lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level, the  
motor must run for a considerable amount of time, con-  
suming a substantial amount of energy.  
THE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE  
APPLIANCE DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED  
AND ON ITS LOCATION. The consumption tests were  
performed in 560mm deep column units, the most common  
installation setting for this appliance.  
- Check the Seal on the Door  
Keep the seal clean and soft so that it fits tightly against the  
door to ensure that no cold air is lost.  
- Correct Temperature Settings  
Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the middle  
settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only con-  
sume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor  
lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold tem-  
peratures may ruin vegetables, cold cuts and cheese.  
- Never Put Food in the Refrigeror w hile Still  
Hot  
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the  
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-  
perature before storing.  
- Do Not Overfill Your Appliance  
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air  
circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air  
circulation and overwork the compressor.

Caring for Your Appliance  
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance  
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning  
off the general sw itch in your home).  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless  
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed  
containers to store foods in order to prevent spills, stains  
and the formation of difficult to remove odours.  
- Only use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the  
applianc. Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance  
with a sponge soaked in a warm water and sodium bicarbo-  
nate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do  
not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use a neutral  
soap.  
- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach  
or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based  
products.  
- All removable parts can be cleaned by soaking them in hot  
soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry them thoroughly  
before replacing them.  
Defrosting  
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.  
Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed  
up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec-  
ommended by the manufacturer.  
The evaporator defrosts automatically during operation; the  
defrost water drips into the drain, is collected in a special  
tray and then evaporates.  
Clean the defrost water drain hole periodically (see fig. 1) to  
prevent water from collecting on the bottom of the refrig-  
erator instead of flowing out.  
- Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in  
use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior  
and dry thoroughly, leaving the door open to prevent the  
formation of odours and mould.  
- Replacing the light bulb. The bulb for lighting the interior  
of the appliance is located at the back of the thermostat  
box. Unscrew the burned out bulb and replace it with an-  
other bulb with a wattage no higher than 15 Watt, follow  
the instructions illustrated in fig. 2.  
Fig. 1  
Before carrying out this operation, disconnect the appli-  
ance from the electricity (to do so, turn off the general switch  
in the house or remove the plug for the appliance from the  
socket).
