USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
Door reversibility Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance: � � � do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. Position food so that air can circulate freely round it. Before carrying out any operations, remove the plug from the power socket. To change the opening direction of the door, proceed as follows: 1. pull off the ventilation grille (D) which is clipped into place; 2. remove the bottom hinge (E) by unscrewing its fixing screws; 3. remove the lower door, sliding it out of the middle hinge; 4. unscrew the middle hinge (H); 5. Remove the fridge door by releasing it from the top hinge pin (G). 6. Remove the pin (G) then mount it on the opposite side, after having removed the plugs which must be refitted on the other side. 7. remove the two plugs of the door (where available), discovering the holes for the hinge pins, assemble them on the opposite side and refit the upper door; 8. reassemble the middle hinge on the opposite side; 9. reassemble the lower door; 10.using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew the hinge pin (E) and reassemble it on the opposite side of the hinge; 11. reassemble the lower hinge (E) on the opposite side, using the screws previously removed. Slide the hole cover (F) out of the ventilation grille (D) by pushing it in the direction of the arrow and reassemble it on the opposite side; 12. refit the ventilation grille (D), clipping it into place. 13.Dismantle the handles and reassemble them on the opposite side. Cover the holes left open with the plugs contained in the documentation pack. The doors can be aligned by adjusting the middle hinge. The middle hinge can be adjusted horizontally, with the help of a tool, after having slackened the two screws.

Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: � � � � room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable. Important If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.
Warning: After having reversed the opening direction of the doors check that all the screws are properly tightened and that the magnetic seal adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdrier.
